Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!
Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.
RULES:
Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:
Do not be a jerk.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.
- Don't try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.

Had nearly all the parts lying around, so I put this thing together.
I wanted to add stereo speakers, but it's hard to find good wiring diagrams for such a niche thing. So, mono for now.
The motherboard has a bad cartridge slot. So I designed and printed a custom speaker holder that fits into the cartridge slot. All pressure fitted, no glue.
Everything works so far. Just waiting for a new shoulder button/SD slot cable, so I can finish it up and load up some GBA games. :)
Nice work, post us some more shots when you get to playing it!
Sure! Might be a few weeks, since I'm waiting for the part to come in.
That's awesome ! As a tinkerer myself I love to see these kind of projects come to life. Do you know of other communities that are about DIY ?
Thanks! It's really satisfying to get it done and see these things work. And I kind of like the cobbled-together look of things like this.
I don't know of any DIY communities, but I also haven't looked really hard, to be honest.
Quick Google search says dsi is not compatible with gba games... I hate to ruin your fun, but it was there when i googled it, on a Nintendo page
Do a little more digging on non-Nintendo pages and you'll learn more about console modding.
Maybe they mean emulating them? (Not super knowledgable on this subject)
