1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I've been so fucking tired this last week. I'm puppy sitting and walking the pup in the morning and my dogs in the evening. Post move settling is taking a long time, I haven't finished unpacking the house or really started the shop haha

 

if it makes u feel any better, we had boxes laying around for weeks-months until everything was finalized. Always good to take ur time so u dont have to go back and rearrange or otherwise. How u like the new place?

 

Yeah, I've accepted it will take a while. I was going to power through it and do everything at once...but for what purpose?

I am loving it here, I didn't realize how much staying in the old house was holding me down

That looks ready for some "mostly peaceful" protesting

Like the Thor's hammer of breaking and entering

 

I should totally weld a handle to it once I'm doing MIG

I almost want to modify my Gameboy Color, but other times I want to buy one with a bad screen and replace it with a backlit display.

Or in your case since you like the width of your GBA, this.

Wow, IPS, nice. OLED when lol

 

Meanwhile, this finally arrived -

 

Ive thought about getting a handheld rom emulator due to the shitty experience using a touch screen for keys. out of curiosity, what makes u want to keep the gameboy body? Nostalgia?

 

Got to fully mod it

Nostalgic value

I've got a Pocket somewhere with my stuff and my brother said I can grab that Retro I bought him almost 20 years ago.

Since all my GB's run without issue, and they're in great shape, I'd want to start on one with a bad screen. Be nice to have 1 modded GB amongst all my stock ones.

 

No fucking way

I've seen the modded consoles ready to go but they're a ridiculous amount of money for simple mods you can do yourself.

 

I installed an IPS display in my friend’s Gameboy Color. It was pretty straightforward. Minor dremel work needed and soldering.

 

I know you've got an extra GB somewhere

 

You don’t have one? I have an Original.

 

I've got 4 including an OG but don't want to mod them

 

There was never a choice
