Rose Colored Gaming now open for business!

Wiggy, do you think you could offer a Game Boy Advance e-Reader stand? That is definitely a product I'd buy. Or have you tested the GB cartridge stand with an e-Reader? Will it work?

I doubt we will have a stand specific to the reader, but I'm willing to bet that it will stand on a GB cart display just fine.  I'll test it at some point today.

I'm still curious about this. Also, what would you recommend for permanently assembling a GBA stand? I acquired a RCG GBA stand from an eBay lot, and one of the pieces fits semi-loosely, and I would like to bond it. Would super glue be fine?

Super glue will leave a white haze on the acrylic as it dries.  Epoxy would be the better option.  You could also wrap a tiny piece of clear tape around the tabs on the stilts and re-insert them.

Wiggy, how can I check my order status? Thanks.

[wiggy]

Shoot an email over to service@rosecoloredgaming.com and we'll get you sorted out.

Hey wiggy, I still need to know if the GB e-Reader can be held nicely by the GBA cartridge stand.

Mine is in a box somewhere (I moved in August). Not sure exactly where. I'll look as soon as I get a chance.

I'm super excited about a new piece of equipment that's on its way to the shop!



I lost all interest in the filament-based printers like our old Replicator 2 (which I sold about a year ago after literally not touching it for 6 +months) once we got the first laser cutter and I saw how quickly, consistently, and accurately we could produce with it.

Still, the lasers have their limitations. One can do a LOT with 2D parts, but it means using way more parts than I'd prefer to add mechanical function. The power switch/reset button assembly on this custom SNES is made up of 10 individual pieces of laser cut acrylic, 14 mechanical fasteners (i.e. Screws), a fair amount of glue, and a very steady had mixed with an inordinate amount of patience.







While this is by far the project I'm most proud of, I have no intention of putting it into production as is.  The margin for error is very, VERY narrow.

Buuuuuut, if I were able to mix in a handful of printed parts for some of the more complex portions of the build, then I could definitely put something together which is both able to be easily produced by my staff AND I, plus (hopefully) offer a kit to customers!

This will definitely pave the path of completion for some of our more complex and ambitious projects

As usual, everything there looks pretty damn awesome.

I don't normally go in for super fancy smancy consoles and such.  A custom pain job and basic graphics is about all I'm usually keen on.  But...  This is flippin' awesome and I want a whole line of retro consoles like it.

I like everything without modification or customization, original. But damn wiggy, that looks really awesome.

[TDIRunner]

I'm like you guys.  I want all of my consoles to look as original as possible.  But if anyone is going to get me to change my mindset, it's Wiggy.

I agree, but this is just ridiculously cool. That acrylic cartridge is badass.

I think the color on the insides really sells it! This is coming from someone who likes to keep their consoles as original as possible, but I REALLY like this!

Hey just checked your site for the first time in awhile, seems your selling N64 cases? How are the dimensions for the art and stuff? I was looking towards bitboxes, but am curious about these now.

Thanks everyone!  This was definitely one of those "I've gotta pour everything I've got into it" projects.  Did a few other colors with this style as well as a very small run of Final Fantasy themed units.  Really looking forward to getting back on this project ASAP.

They're Shadowfox cases.  I have a template in my shadowfox N64 thread, plus there are numerous templates and such in the shadowfox section.  I believe my template is shorter than most.  It seems like folks like the inserts to completely fill the given space in the cases, but they don't account for the fact that the sleeve itself doesn't cover the entire surface, which leaves part of the printout exposed to the elements/handling.  It's all just personal preference.
