The reasoning is pretty simple, this kit comes with all the screws deck uses and more, so I was left with tons of extras :)

Nope, didn’t know about this mod actually, is it worth it?
Speaking of GBA, I’ve recently picked up this little guy in the same color! It can emulate anything up to PS1 including, well, GBA.
P.S. It’s called Miyoo Mini Plus but there is also a whole bunch of competitors in similar price range so picking one of them is a matter of personal choice
If surface feeling is your only concern, you may look into getting some trackpad stickers from aftermarket. I’ve had dbrand skin before this mod and it felt fine. There should be a bunch of variants with different textures on places like etsy. I mean redoing the trackpad covers seems like a huge pain in the ass.
It feels nice too! I’ve been afraid it’s some cheap plastic, and even if it is, feels nicer to touch than my dbrand skin I’ve been rocking for several months
Thanks! It’s a tough mod, but unlike others saying they regret the struggle, I don’t, it’s just so pretty!
I was not around when original consoles in this color were released, only found out about it recently and I’m obsessed! Already own two other things in atomic purple (8BitDo controller and Miyoo Mini Plus)
It requires full disassembly, and by full I mean full. Every component has to be unmounted and then remounted again because the front plate is the carrier of all other components. Official video guide I followed (with cuts and perfect execution) is 1.3 hours long.
People usually say it takes them 3+ hours, I took my time and was very careful, took little breaks, double checked everything and landed at around 5.2 hours. No regrets though!
I’ve considered getting joystick replacements too but decided against. They are not super hard to replace as they are immediately exposed after taking the back cover off, and while less durable can still last years upon years, none of controllers I used in my entire life ever developed stick drift.
Buttons meanwhile require to take out a lot of stuff, so be prepared and leave enough space on your desk for components. Good luck with mods!
I’ve basically just finished it an hour ago and only run a single game + input tests to make sure everything works, so I can’t vouch for anything longterm.
I decided to keep original trackpad covers because I gave up trying to lift the covers and got scared it may break if I apply even more heat / pressure. You have to place black adhesive under transparent covers anyway so it’s not a huge visual compromise. They don’t seem to rub on the chassis, at least so far. Otherwise I kept to the instructions and replaced everything.
Also grats on your mod too!
Russian here. This is a super old claim from our government and is a common source of jokes, it’s even called “Cheburnet” (from Cheburashka) colloquially, nobody really treats such claims seriously. Last time Russian government tried to influence internet was when they struggled to ban telegram for several years, and ended up giving up, endorsing it, and moving their official resources to it.
I know it’s probably a joke, but fun fact Soviet Union was the first country to ban lobotomy in 1950

Nah, it’s just a seated queue
(Disclaimer, I’ve not reviewed the code, don’t quote)
Files can be transferred via P2P connection without them being uploaded first to a third location. I assume though that some sort of server serves as a matchmaker allowing two computers find each other when the connection is established
All of these are strictly Ukrainian though. Following some Russian sources as well would make sense to get fuller picture.
(I’m not providing examples though as I don’t really follow either. Several months into the war I gave up trying to sort propaganda from something substantial)
He seems pretty genuine, but I can’t watch his content because I personally find the cult of money… repelling?
I mean, obviously under capitalism money will have cult following, duh. But this stereotypical handing over tons of cash to someone and someone loosing all their shit makes me feel very uneasy.
I was perplexed if I should, but now I’m definitely not going back, they require like 50% disassembly of the device to reach them haha
