Modding my Gameboy Pocket (kind of tutorial-ish)

Not been following the thread too closely, but it's been in the back of my mind. Been wanting to sort out my GBA for a long time now.

So I just pulled the trigger on essentially the same stuff as Chocolate-Milk did. Going for a full Black shell with white buttons look for my GBA.

Think I might even do the modding on stream, same idea as the LEGO build stream I did.

How much did it all cost you?

Got the lot from retrosix.co.uk:

GBA IPS Screen Kit
Screen Dust Guard
Screen Bracket
IPS Glass Screen
GBA Shell (Black)
USB-C Battery Cover
GBA Pure White Buttons
CleanJuice USB C Battery Pack

Add on VAT and Shipping and it was £124.32 all in. Most of that was the Screen Kit and the Battery Pack.

I didn't bother with the Dehum/Dehiss stuff, but I might get that down the line.

Did they put an extra 'free' shell in with that? They've done that twice for me now on my orders, and the first time I assumed it was a mistake, but then I ordered the bits to fill that shell, and with that order came another one, so I think it might be to get you to do exactly what I did and order more bits.
