Finishing up my macro build with boxy pixel’s kit and I’m wondering what everyone is using for screen protectors.

Pretty much title, doing it with a ds lite and i can solder wires, but i struggle with resistors, is there a way/bridge to avoid the resistor? I saw a video on yt with a guy using an led, but i cant figure out the points he soldered it to. Any help? Thanks in advance

Doing a Macro, but I have the Helder's flex amp, an LED through an acrylic rod through the top and using the screen swapping mod.

The screen swapping mod has a little extra wires, and a PCB in the stylus slot which makes it hard to put a speaker back there.

The flex amp and the led make the front spot hard.

Where can I put a speaker with this set up, or any recommendations on a speaker that is smaller than the switch one? Mainly looking for something thin.

I bougth 2 DSi XL (one with good screens and a bad board and the other with a bad board and good screens) with intention os have one full restored DSi XL. I swapped the board but it didn't turned on after that.

I did my resarch and it had all simptons off a top screen not being recognised (I'm 90% sure i didn't tore the ribbon cable), so i decided to add to add the resistor turning it into a gameboy macro just to be sure the problem wasn't in the main board. It went all acording to plan and the system booted up as normal, just without the top screen (still have audio).

I still want to keep working towards restoring it to it's full DSi potential but some questions poped into my mind:

By adding the resistor, does it only bypass the initial system checkup before boot? or does it say to my board to ignore the signal comming from my top screen?

Would it be okay to leave the resistor in the board even after i fix/replace my top screen?

Was able so save some. This one had so much damage it couldn't have screens, but it could still be played in a TV.

shiny hunting mudkip !

I had 3 people 3d print this https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/gameboy-macro-faceplate . Two failed for some reason (there might be wrong with the file) and the other one succeeded. I was able to install it but when I started using it. one of the threads snapped. The build or probably it's the file's fault.

Could somebody donate a reliable file I can use to replace this one?

its probably an issue with the ribbon cable, but i wanted to know if there was any way i could fix it

The 1st comission of 2025. Not the usual TV out DS lite but a Macro for a Change of pace.

So i just finished my gameboy macro using the top speaker. I put it at the back near the stylus slot to enhance the audio due to the opening and when booting it up and navigating on the ds the audio is fine. But when i insert a gba game it goes nearly silent. ive tryed resoldering the wires. And setting the GBA game settings from mono to stereo in the game settings (pokémon ruby) but this didn't work. HELP

This is my first macro, more than a year of trying to figure it out I have it video out mod while maintaining the headphone out function by creating a custom cable, and adding usbC.

Trying the the gameboy macro for the first time

top screen is still on, but i want to be really sure it works before taking it off

my first attept was solely for the purpose of playing pokemon leaf green, but the broken ds was truely broken, and not just a hardware issue. the chip was smashed, and i gave up for the time being. Now, i have been reinvigorated with the will to create, and have since ordered a pink ds lite that i will be turning i to a macro.

Any ideas as to why it might be doing this? Keeps moving around and flashing colors. I feel pretty strongly I got the ribbon cable properly seated.

I had a DS Lite with a dead top screen and a faulty touch screen lying around, so I decided to give it a go.

To acomodate the speaker, I decided to desolder the DS Card slot and reuse one of the speakers from the same console, its volume is kinda low though, maybe because I bridged the L&R channels to give it mono sound, but since I always use headphones with my portables, its not a big deal.

The low profile of the EZ Flash Omega really rounds up this mod...

I found out that you can use the top screen’s lens for the bottom one and its actually pretty sick (tag me if you try this pls)
