    Fun Fact: The 'Over Moulding' you were saying about is called Flashing, it happens from Old/Low quality injection moulding tools where they don't close properly and plastic seeps out. Happens all the time with scale modelling kits!

    • @pikejuan
      @pikejuan ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Mostly yes, but also from incorrect set up. Not enough closing force or too high injection pressure also causes it.

    The worst part about these mods is closing the glass and display together. You always have dust trapped inside.

    That's a damn good friendship you've got. Always enjoy seeing the modding videos, even if it's of something you've done before.
    One thing I've always been curious of though. There's a mod that allows I believe a DSi screen to be installed into a GBA since the DSi screen is similar to an AGS 101 screen in nature. There's a kit for it on sale on funnyplaying.
    One thing that I've been curious about is if it would be possible to get one of those kits working in a GBA SP to replace an AGS 001 screen. I'm a bit too nostalgic about that older style appearance to use an IPS screen. Might make an interesting video if it ends up being semi involved :P

    Personally I don't use GB Pockets anymore for moddings because the 2x AAA batteries have a very poor battery runtime with a big IPS screen. Instead I only use the GB Color for mods, it's better in every aspect as the GB pocket and the new IPS mods have the same display size.
