It’s going to be pretty hard to properly clean the button without opening it up since there isn’t a good way to get cleaner into them.
Why wait?
Well there are tons of 3d printed stands, as well as the classic nail polish stand. Lots of options out there.
Thanks! Found the stands here
Curious about what cartridge is inside the shell. Is it an emerald cart, bootleg, or flash cart?
I saw someone posted that in BennVenn discord. He is apparently waiting for his FPGBC to come in to see if it’s possible to fix via code.
Neat, good work!
Great video. His content is great, I just don’t agree with his use of brasso to clean carts.
I would be willing to Mod.
Flickering like this usually occurs when the controller and lights are not using the same ground.
More pictures are always useful. Assuming the pins in the connector aren’t bent out of shape, your issue sounds more like a problem with the game. A common issue is that some pins need to be reflowed on the rom and ram chips. Here is an example video of what I’m referring to https://youtu.be/Hg21VeFM-_Y
I would make sure to clean the cart and the slot. A quick way for the slot is to load up the cart contacts with ipa and insert it a few times. For the game itself, I’m a fan of using a white pencil easer, followed by ipa.
For the lines, it could be the contrast wheel is dirty. Adding a few drops of ipa and working the wheel could help, though long term deoxit would be better.
Beyond that, more pictures of the board would help.
Built two of these awhile ago. It works very well. https://lemmy.world/post/9910910
There are and they work very well(3ms latency). No mods required . https://shop.insidegadgets.com/product/wireless-gameboy-controller/
Time to get soldering then
Thanks!
Inside
Space and simplicity. There is not a lot of room in a GBA so a custom PCB would probably be needed from the start. Also the DMG display PCB is basically trash if the screen dies, which is all you need for this project. The GBA equivalent would need a donor motherboard.
Thanks. I was looking at these carts and thought about hard it would be to make something similar that you could use a old shell with. I recently made a SNES to Bluetooth adapter so the code was pretty similar. I really like projects that recycle parts like this.
Also bought mine off AliExpress. It was one of the fake pokemon shell models, so that feels a little cheap but looks nice. Otherwise the unit functions perfectly, no scratches on the screen and buttons are responsive.
