Building a Gameboy Macro
10Ever wondered what happens when you chop a DS Lite in half? You get a Game Boy Macro—a custom handheld that plays Game Boy Advance games with a backlit screen and a slick new look. In this video, I walk you through the entire build process: from removing the busted top screen to soldering the resistor, swapping shells, and testing it all with a flash cart.
💥 But heads up: this isn't a beginner mod—you’ll need a soldering iron, steady hands, and a bit of patience.
