I second this. When I was building my first Ashida I didn't really know what I was getting into, didn't look up enough information (and had next to none soldering skills). I was eventually able to complete the build, but it took me over a year to get to a result I was happy with. That 7 hour...

It would certainly be possible, though it would end up being quite large as you'd either have to stack motherboards making it Thick or put them side by side making it Long. If I were to do it I would make it with a wii and ps2 as those are probably the best documented and easiest to portabalize...

Only took two bodge wires and a drop of hot glue (I ordered the wrong power switch ) and I have a fully functional gba now. Here it is in all its glory. It's right at home with my family of handhelds. Thanks once again to @RDNoob26 For this wonderful gift.

I don't know who my secret Santa is, but they sent me an ips gba screen and this neat transparent Blue shell. When this is completed it'll be my first normal gba. I have an sp, but feel like the form factor of the original is better. I'll post again when the build is complete, but I'm waiting...

It turns out that I'd forgotten to hook up 1.8v from the motherboard. It now all works. I'll have to use it a bit more to make sure no more issues come up. I forgot to take a photo of the insides, so I'll make sure to get that if I do have to open it back up to fix anything. I'd say it's...

I came back to this project after completely disassembling my ashida yet again, and pleasantly learning that I hadn't killed my pms, there had just been a short. I'm hung up though at attaching the scw and sdw wires. When neither are attached, or I have either of them attached individually (or...

Episode VI: Adieu For Now With the deadline looming, I guess this is my formal withdrawal from the contest. Back In july I started to cad the first fitment test models, but quickly lost interest. I then tried to hook up the console to my 5 in screen, but it wasn't able to read the signal from...

I've got two gameboy macro xl's for sale, (or trade depending on what you've got.) They are both modded with a usb-c port and screen swap button to alternate between top and bottom screen for the handful of ds games where you only need one screen I'm asking $70 for the grey one (has...

How did you solve the battery charging, and playing while plugged in? I've had the same problem.

From what I can see it looks like your theory that you could wire up the controller to a cable directly is correct. However it doesn't appear that the points are in the same order as a normal controller pinout, so you will probably have to figure out which point is what. (For example it looks...

You could ask @Wesk if he would be willing to share the non-mesh file of the Ashida (If it exists, though I'd assume it does as mesh files are a pain to edit).

Couldn't find an existing thread for questions about bitbuilt so I made this one. Is there a limit to the size an image can be for it to show up directly in a post, instead of a link to an attachment, because some of my photos actually show up in post but others just show up as links. If so...

Episode V: I'm a Very Black And White Console Living In a Colorful World I removed the two cut chips from the edge of the board, but sadly this did not make the system stay on longer, so I fashioned up a makeshift powerfully with the ps2's original powerfully. With that powering the board it no...

So I've been having an issue with the system turning itself off. When the system is turned off the output from the pd board is at 8.5v, but when I turn the system on it drops down to 7v or lower and then keeps on lowering to around 5v which is where the console shuts off. I was wondering if...

Episode IV: Time for a Trim I didn't get much work done for a while as I was procrastinating buying a new screen, but then I realized there was plenty more I could do without my final screen, such as b̶r̶u̶t̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶m̶u̶r̶d̶e̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ trimming the motherboard. Here's a Pic of our patient all...
