Been a while since I worked on it, but trying to finish off my work on a slimmed down version of the GBA HD. I completely redesigned the shell, making it about 30% thinner and removing the need for a separate top cover. Still needs a few tweaks to both the resin shell and the PCBs, but should be finished in the next few weeks.

Grabbed this cool Japanese Kingdom Hearts DSi to mess around with, mainly to see how easy it is to change the language on them and run custom firmware. Turns out it's not as well integrated as the 3DS options, but still pretty straightforward

Been a little while since I installed any 3DS capture cards - I've pretty much got the New 2DS XL installs down to perfection (or as close as I can get!)
