I feel like all it's lacking is a 12 inch subwoofer in the trunk and some hydraulics.

I like it.

[–] corky 1 points 1 year ago

Ya it’s pimped out for sure. I’m sure I could get some electric avenue playing on it

Looks awesome, great work!

I’ve been thinking about getting an Abernic emulator clone but seeing stuff like this makes me want to mod the real deal. Maybe I’ll settle for a DS to macro gba mod instead.

Both are really fun. Modding is a little more effort but a satisfying result, pre built handhelds do the job just fine and are usually cheaper and easier

[–] corky 2 points 1 year ago

There’s just something special about having the original hardware. Even though it’s modded, it still feels special

[–] brewdtype 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty cool! Can you turn the button lights on and off independent?

[–] corky 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup! I usually play with them off but sometimes just like the extra prettiness

[–] brewdtype 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, cool! Agreed, I think I’d want to play with them off most of the time but it’s a cool feature to have!

[–] corky 1 points 1 year ago

It’s totally a cool factor and post pictures online factor about it. No practical reason honestly but I still love it.

Love the lit up name, really nice color combo

[–] rDrDr 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It looks so tiny! I remember it being so much bigger than that.

[–] corky 1 points 1 year ago

Agreed. Seemed perfect when I was a kid but now my hands are all cramped. Still worth it though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This is very cool. Thanks for posting!

I can hear this image, clearly.

Ha that made me laugh! I feel the same way about it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is that a standard size GBC? Do I remember them to be way bigger because I myself was smaller?

[–] corky 1 points 1 year ago

Yes it is! Just updated but same size shell.

[–] MegaUltraChicken 1 points 1 year ago

Shit I need to hold a GBC now. I'm with you, my brain remembers it being significantly bigger.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That looks great! I want to play Harvest Moon on this!
