I like to repair/restore/mod game systems.
I’m going to post photos of some of them here.
Most of it’ll end up being Nintendo handhelds, because that’s what most people want from me (I run a small business custom-modding game systems and circuit-bending stuff for people. like 80% of what I do is commissioned), but you’ll eventually get to see some newer systems, older consoles, and maybe a few old electronic children’s toys.
Just a few Game Boys for now, though.
Starting off with this one, a commissioned system for the band Curious Quail.
Inspired by the hit Gaijin Games (now Choice Provisions) series, the BIT.TRIP BOY:
CandyCaneBoy? CandyCaneBoy.
This one's actually kind of funny. I recreated a super-rare limited edition Game Boy that was given away on a UK game show in the 80s and had one of my friends pass it off as the real thing on NintendoAge last April 1st. Even after revealing it to be a fake I was offered a decent amount of money for it, but it got lost during Greyhound transit last Christmas (along with 90% of my personal belongings, money, and presents for family. It SUCKED.)
This is one of my personal favorites. Backlight, transparent shell with case LEDs, PCB-mount prosound, and a variable clock which you can see in action here.
This one reached just over $7000 on eBay but got taken down 12 hours before the auction ended and I was perma-banned.
Full story here. Maybe I'll post the rest of the photos of this one later. We had a lot of fun with it.
And last, here's one I'm particularly proud of at the moment, the Splatoon-themed Nintendo SquidKid.
I'm doing a limited run of 25 of these, each with a unique paintjob, new screen cover, backlit, and packed inside custom-designed paint can packaging along with a squid carrying pouch and a couple other goodies.

That's all for now, but I'll be posting more soon~
