Do I spy Sega Nomads? :o

You do  8)


I caved and bought another goodie off your store yesterday... Can't wait for that awesome wiggy merch to arrive!

Yeah, I saw your name pop up in PayPal. Hope you enjoy!


Hey Wiggy, did you ever make any progress on Game Gear back lights?

Sort of.  I'm gonna have to finish the two that I promised to make and then that's all I'll do.  They're a headache, there isn't that much demand, and I absolutely do not have the time to offer another service/mod right now :(


Wiggy, I've got a question for you.

Can you use a normal spray paint when painting handhelds? I've got a GBA SP that I want to paint and I was considering using a Krylon Fusion paint. Any advice? And do you know if metallic colors work okay?

Don'y use Krylon Fusion

Thanks for the link. It looks like more work then I wanted, I was hoping for a "quick fix". Maybe I'll just buy a replacement housing instead...

Yeah, that fusion stuff is total crap. Plus, since you can't us a primer of any sort with it, it must be apied rather heavily, which won't get along with the right tolerances of the SP :(

Painting plastic and getting a good, durable result isn't super easy and it's pretty much NEVER quick :-\

Yeah, no thanks to Game Gears. Huge headache.

The Nomads haven't sold yet, but that's only because they're still just sitting in a pile of pieces :(

I'm almost half tempted to buy my old Nomad back!  :P
Na I'm kidding, I'd prolly put it on a shelf and never mess with it again.

Sorta inadvertently made some waves with a custom 2DS that we just finished building.  Dunno if you guys have seen it or not, but searching "Luigi 2ds" will bring up plenty of hits and there is a quick video on secondopiniongames.com about it.

I've been wanting a 2ds and this is almost perfect to me.

I say this with the highest respect for your work as it is, but is it possible to do a lighter shade of green on the buttons and hinge? They seem kind of dark pine green; when I think of Luigi I think of bright green like on the box.

I thought the Luigi outline imprinting on the back was a nice touch and was wondering how that would look if the Luigi outline was painted in green to match the buttons and hinge.

Very cool
