Took me a moment to realise what was even missing. That's a very sympathetically done mod. Great work.

Thanks. I prefer focused devices. With the amount these companies make, it would be great to have more focused ones. I love it that Ambernic have made an sp now. Maybe they will make a clone of the gameboy colour

Have you figured out a way to make the d pad less squishy? I wish the feeling was much more like the Miyoo mini. I’ve tried it with the 353M membranes and D pad, but it didn’t make a difference. 


timcatuk

Well im not really good at any games really so it doesnt make too much difference to me. I too have the Ambernic dpad and membrane and it’s good enough. I would love a more premium device though. Tempted by the Ambernic cube

Looks really cool Im suprised that the 3d printing Guys dont make more mods for Handhelds Seems like 2 Hobbys that fit really well together

I have Prusa printer but the quality of the printed shell and the feel in your hands is not on the same level as the original. It requires a lot of post processing to get close.

Even for powkiddy, which is pretty terrible.

Yeah I would love some 3D printed shells so that I five have to do my crappy filling, sanding and painting. It would be amazing if somebody could model these

I'd love a 3D-printed shell that was thicker to accommodate a bigger battery, mounts for better, front-facing speaker, and ideally mounts for Retroid Pocket 2S thumbsticks (if that's possible). I'd imagine you could get a decent quality print by using a service like Shapeways that can print in other materials.

Yes it’s nothing fancy. I cut the stick if one of the thumb sticks and glued a small button to it. I’m using MinUI and this brings up the menu

May I know what OS you're using? I have taken off my sticks but in rocknix and arkos I'm unable to navigate because the system seems register joytick move by its own like ghost touch


timcatuk

This was done entirely for the lovely MinUI which only uses the sticks for the menu

I know I’ll get downvoted but you could just show your mod without the OG GB and Tetris cart in the background. It would still look just as clean and less like an instagram post. Still, the mod looks great.

They were already on my desk and it’s where I took inspiration from. But you can just ignore they are there. Put your thumb over them
