Very impressive mod with the buttons and D-pad, Wiggy. You never answered my earlier question, though; will you be doing your own NES style shell replicas for the GBA SP?

Prolly not.  I don't want to put too much strain on the batteries.  There are just two SMD LEDs in there now, and they do put off pretty decent light.  I think I might cast some clear side "bumpers" and impregnate them with LEDs what I do the casting.  I think that'll really give the most bang for lighting buck plus they'll actually be a lot easier for me to seal with as far as wiring goes.

Nope.



Need input, folks!  Either here or on my blog.  Lemme know what you think of these.

They are both awesome! Exactly how i was imagining. I especially like the NES themed one.

Both of those will be VERY tempting once they are made  ;D

Thanks guys!

The only thing that they'll really NEED to complete that look is the buttons.  Needless to say, I'm tearing open a few of my micros tonight in order make a gang mold so I can crank our 4 or 5 sets at once ;D

The first 2 faceplates look fantastic.  I'm going to have to start buying up some more micros.

OK, so I needed to order a few more in order to make the batch a bit more affordable, and of course I couldn't help but add more designs ;D

Awesome! Maybe you could make one based on the Game Gear, similar to your GB and NES faceplates.

heh, because of the speaker holes, it looks like megaman is getting shot at.
