To each his own, of course. But I always thought the Lynx I has a much more timeless and classy look when compared to the Lynx II. Thank you very much for watching, I really appreciate it!

Fantastic, thanks so much for watching and commenting! I wasn't able to find an Innext. I ordered one, but got a Retrolink controller instead. But as you already concluded, they're probably identical anyway. That analogue stick though is really something else, i love it so much! Yes, the stick grinds a little against the inner socket, but i can tell you that thus far, i have done a full 100% playthrough of Mario 64, a full playthrough of both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, a full playthrough of Mario Kart 64 and i'm halfway a Donkey Kong 64 playthrough, all with the same Retrolink controller and it hasn't failed once. It's crazy to think you can get this quality for under $10. As for the D-pad issue. I can't say I noticed it myself. But you should be able to solve it quite easily. Underneath the D-pad there are connections pads on the PCB (the printed circuit board). If the D-pad is too sensitive, as you say, just by putting a little bit of pressure it already detects an input, you can put a small piece of isolation tape of sorts on the surface of the connection pads to decrease the sensitivity. Just google "d-pad tape fix" and you'll see what i mean. I'm sure you'll be able to fix it! Again thanks a lot and good luck!

@@morph-x7153 Thanks for the swift response! I've noticed there's 2 packs sold under the 'Innext' brand name, but all links I've found of the singles redirect to this. Some reviews older than a year even mention Innext. As you said though, they're all probably identical. Just an interesting observation is all. There's this other strange brand called Kiwitata, which again is identical based on videos I've seen. Quite the handful, heh. In any event just glad theres many options. I'm really happy to hear that. I'm not bothered by the joystick rubbing, I was just a little worried it would chisel itself down or snap off. it feels incredible though, deadzone is practically non-existent here. It took a bit of getting used to if anything. I've been playing in Project64, which natively detects it as a generic d-input pad. I used Xoutput in connjunction with Steaminput to get it working with the notorious (to Nintendo, that is) SM64 PC port as well. I just had to use joytokey to map the c-buttons. This thing is truly a blast! i ordered one for my gf as well, a clear blue one. I was just rather worried the stick would do a death dive on us. As for the d-pad, I'll certainly give that a try. This isn't unusable to me, but it would certainly be preferable to fix that. One other point i failed to mention is the USB cable though. It does feel rather soft, and I noticed some wear markings. Thanks again

Wow, it's fantastic to hear that my video motivates you to start working on your Lynx! Unfortunately I have no clue where the original files went, which is honestly very a-typical of me, so it bums me out, wish I still had them to share! Best of luck with your restoration, any plans on documenting it here on TH-cam? I'd be curious to see. And thanks for watching and commenting, very much appreciated!

@@morph-x7153 Thanks! But I certainly don't have the skills to do a youtube video of the restoration. I will share some photos of the process.... drive.google.com/drive/folders/1soWp40aX5WSS6TD89BVfcMGiQOL7CFin

@@myislander You already did a lot of work! The red is very nice. Too bad it didn't work out too well. I can give you some pointers, but i'm not sure if you already did this. - But very important is the paint preparation. As you can see in my video, i very thoroughly sanded the Lynx shell with 600, 800 en 1200 grid sandpaper to get a very smooth surface. - Making the surface dust and grease free is super important. - When painting (with a spraycan i presume) it can help to first heat up the spraycan in warm water, that way the paint flows very well. Then first apply a couple of thin coats with 5-10 minutes between each layer. Then apply a wet coat, which is a thick coat, done by slowly and steadily spraying the paint. This is a touchy feely thing because you can get runs quite easily. However, when the preparation (sanding and degreasing) isn't done properly, you'll never get a nice paint job. Again, maybe you did this and there was some kind of chemical reaction between the both paints or anything like that. But i do like the gray/red combo, looking very 80's retro! :) Thanks for sharing and good luck!

@@morph-x7153 thanks! I may try the red again with your suggestions. I really like how it came out on the battery cover. Maybe I just didn’t get the rest sanded as well and with your spray paint techniques, it might work better. Or I’ll just leave it with the red buttons :-).

Thanks a lot for watching and leaving the comment! Absolutely grab one, you can't go wrong for the couple of bucks that it costs. The songs are "Redial", "Zip" and "Milky", all from the OST of Bomberman Hero for the N64.

Thanks a lot, thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment!

Thank you! I'll take a look in my archive to see if i have it. But some storage shenanigans a while back have caused me a lot of trouble, so i'm not sure if i still have them. If i do i'll be sure to share them.

Yes, the CM3 package comes with a backlit LCD display. Quite a nice one actually, bright and colorful. Thanks for watching!

Thanks a lot, that's a great compliment!

Thanks a lot! You know, i thought of putting a cartridge in there, but the Raspi tends to heat up quite a bit, so I thought it would be best to leave it open. But it would certainly look good.

Thanks man! Well, it's actually the Super FX games and still a fair share of SNES games (Donkey Kong Country for instance) that don't run properly. GBA games, after installing the right BIOS files run amazingly well, to my surprise. Overclocking might be the little boost it could use, but i'm not quite sure how it will affect battery life. In any case, thanks for the tip!

jose fonseca Thanks very much! I don’t have another spare Lynx lying around, but a custom could be a fun project indeed!

Thanks! I do have it. If you could share your e-mail address i could just mail you the files if you want.

Morph- X Thank you friend! elpibelopez@gmail.com I hope you are fine! Greeting!

@@mlopezmad Files sent!

Morph- X sorry friend, but I don’t see. You can send to this acount? mlopezmad@gmail.com Thank you!!! 🙏🏻

@@mlopezmad Please check again.

Hi! Thank you very much for watching and commenting! I was just diving into my archive, but unfortunately i don't have the source files for the labels anymore. I have deleted them because a while after posting this video, i was sure i wouldn't need them anymore. I'm sorry, i would've loved to share them with you.

Hi! Thanks a lot for watching and commenting! The idea is great, but i would need a printer that is capable of printing white ink. They exist, but they're a bit too expensive for my taste. Also, i've noticed over the course of several projects that printing the same image twice on the same paper, you always have alignment discrepancies. These labels are very small, so even a alignment discrepancy of 0.1 or 0.2 mm would stand out. Maybe it's possible on a real professional machine, but i don't think it's possible with any machine that i have at my disposal.

Thanks! Sorry for the late response. I have never tried UV printing, perhaps it would work. The decal is fine, but it is a bit of a hassle to get it on nicely.

Thanks so much!!

Problem is, i switched jobs and at my previous employer i had a very nice printer at my disposal. Also, it would depend on what you would be willing to pay since i would need to order the glass screen lenses and the label paper used for this is not that cheap either. If you’re interested you could leave me your e-mail address and see what we can do. Thanks for watching!

Name a price & even pay shipping as i live in the UK

If you mean the files, that’s no problem. If you are willing to leave your e-mail address here, i can send it to you if you’d like. Thanks for watching!

@@morph-x7153 yes please danilo.misajon.ii@gmail.com

That’s perhaps a bit too much flattery, but thank you very much!

Thanks a lot, comments like this are very much appreciated!

Thanks!! Much appreciated!

Oh that’s easy, actually, since the Raspi Zero has an HDMI output. Thanks for watching!

You say you have a PAG-0201, or do you mean you have a PAG-0200 with a circular D-pad? That would be strange. To my knowledge all PAG-0201's came with the circulare D-pad so i'd consider that correct. It is weird however that yours doesn't have the game card reference sticker. But back in the day production and delivery weren't as strict as nowadays. Thanks for watching!!

@@morph-x7153 I can post pictures of my Lynx on FB or on my web page if you want to see it front and back.

Wow, those are some nice words. Thank you very much and thank you for watching!
