FINALLY got around to the new faceplate designs today.  Let me hear some feedback here, on the blog, FB, wherever :)

Really nice looking especially the Charizard one :)  However, maybe having the Tri-Force in the bottom left corner like the Poke Ball may look nicer, it looks a little lost over the design IMO but overall great job!

Thanks!

It's tricky since there's so little real estate on the damn things.   It's hard to visualize until one's in front of you.  I might all but obliterate the triforce if I have to put it on the left.  But, I'll give it a go and I can also tone the contrast down on the other graphics to make the gold pop more ;)


Also, this just happened.  My wordpress app is beeping at me like non-stop  :o

So I made a batch of Retrobright for a customer's Wonderswan the other day. I was skeptical, but I'm a believer now, needless to say ;D

Finally Got around to reading that article on nintendo life, soon I'll be able to say "I knew wiggy before he was famous!" lol  :P

I was wondering if you had an ETA on when you'll be selling GG back lights?
Also, I know you've done a few nomad screen replacements now, are you using the Chinese back up camera LCD's or in your godlike modding powers, did you find something better? The LCD I put in my nomad had dead pixels a week after installing (several clusters around where the text appears while playing phantasy star -_-)

Just remember that Retrobright's only a temporary fix. Because of the original problem, the only permanent solution is painting over it.

That is what I'm using for the Nomad mods.  I have seen other folks have issues with them, but I've ha good luck so far. 

Not 100% sure on the GG.  Working out the bugs on the prototype for this guy VVV

I know, right?! 

After the WS, I did a few slightly yellowed white GBA shells that seriously look as good as new now and I've for a few really ugly DMG shells in the bath right now to see how far this stuff will go. 


Cant wait to get my hands on it =D

It's all packed and ready to go!
