@@HisPanicRoom I feel like the gameboy ds had maybe some sort of practical application in a world where maybe you like, wanted someone else to have an easier time looking over your shoulder to see what youre playing, but this bad boy? just L O N G for the sake of it
Things he could have put in this: • A really big rechargeable battery • LCD screen • 2 much better sounding speakers What he put in: • Litterally just a normal fv¢k!ng DMG gameboy
That could have been possible, there could be 2 battery compartments wired in parallel, so the voltage stays the same, but power consumption is evened out between the 2 sets of batteries.
This is OBVIOUSLY the next project. A horizontal gameboy w/ D pad on the left of the screen and buttons on the right. No cheating and using an Advance!
Honestly, the amount of hours and graft that went into this is insane. One of the few TH-camrs if not the only one that puts this much effort into a video. Massive respect for these recent projects man, they're awesome. Good job, its SO clean
TH-cam doesn't want effort and quality, it wants a constant barrage of content. Especially in the craft genre where you have to compete with content farms pumping out fake DIY content for people who just want mindless distraction.
Canniballizing the water damaged gameboy killed me. There’s button PCBs you can order online for making a Raspberry Pi gameboy that would have worked the same, if not better. And the horizontal lines problem would have been solved by installing a DMG IPS screen kit.
So, the TP idea kinda put you on the right track. One thing that people do with super glue is mix in baby powder to make a paste for extra structure. It's a really good way to prototype silly things, but is not always the most secure in the long term. Since you're usually using bondo on the exterior of those seams, it's probably fine.
I love these. I binged the whole Alt Boy list today. The body filler is interesting. I do plastic model kits and we use what is commonly called "green stuff" (kneadatite); a two part mix that can me smoothed with water, cures rock hard, and can be sanded. I wonder if that might be easier or not. Keep up the crazy gintendo bame noys!
I'm not certain someone's commented on this but a good way to reinforce super glue is to use baking soda. you put a little glue, then you sprinkle some soda on it very generously, then more glue, more soda, more gluye.... you get it. it's very solid, can be sanded and files, and can even be built up to replace broken plastic tabs in various components.
Combining layers of paper with a glue (usually hard setting plastic, resin, or super glue) creates a material called micarta, which is amazingly strong and lightweight. It's what a lot of knife handles are made from. Good intuition to lay toilet paper into the superglue.
Tu estás loco amigo! Me encanta lo que haces con las Game Boy realmente eres un especialista en este tipo de máquinas da gusto verte trabajar, además eres muy creativo.
Waw, you actually made a "FrankenSteinz" of all GameBoys :DDDD You could actually put extra batteries in the empty space to last it twice as long. (Just an idea :P)

Or rather an example of what happens to the mind when in quarantine. I'm personally looking forward to his next level of 'just because'. Cheers
purpose: less strain on the neck looking down at it, by having it further up u dont need to look as far down
Plus compensating for the extra weight will get you effin RIPPED
It's virtually impossible to strain your neck with a gameboy as you would blackout the screen if you were right over it.

Coming Soon: I made a joy-con wired for no reason
Dude don't give Elliot these ideas
He might
"Don't mind me, just taking some selfies" he says as he's on the title screen of the game
That's just because of the end user agreement for the gameboy camera.
You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn’t stop to think if you should.
You should have made the battery longer as well!

That could have been possible, there could be 2 battery compartments wired in parallel, so the voltage stays the same, but power consumption is evened out between the 2 sets of batteries.

But if you’re watching this, you’re premium!
waiting for the update: long boy but long screen 😂
sure, you've created the Long Boy. buy why rest on your laurels when you can now create the WIDE BOY?
He only needs two original GB Advance
This is OBVIOUSLY the next project. A horizontal gameboy w/ D pad on the left of the screen and buttons on the right. No cheating and using an Advance!
There's already a Wide Boy, but it's nothing like this.
