      @obsidianspider as always, great job! I really like how the label turned out as well.

      Currently Playing: Tetris (Gameboy)

        @obsidianspider Great project ! How is the comfort level playing that ? As in holding it for a period of time while playing a game ? How long can you play with a single charge on the battery ?

          @obsidianspider About the I2S ... you can make it louder by soldering resistors between some PADs. Go ahead to the adafruit page... there you will find instructions. I love these sound devices... crystal clear sound for a moderata price (5-7USD)

            @bytethis It's actually pretty comfortable to hold. I've not tested the battery life, but it does have a protection circuit so it shouldn't over-discharge.

              Yeah, I like how I was able to get the Nintendo logos to show up even with the area removed for the buttons.

                @cyperghost This is true, but I am also using a small speaker and I don't want to blow it. It's loud enough at full volume for normal playing. I'm not hosting a rock concert with it. :)

                  @obsidianspider Ha! I've got those hand files. Not got that 25-hour patience though...

                    @markyh444 I'm not saying it would take everyone that long, and I'd probably be faster now that I've done it once, but it was VERY tedious.

                      @obsidianspider to be fair, the last time I did a case mod it was tedious as hell. Then delayed finishing it for about a month as I nearly hacked my left index finger off with a Stanley knife halfway through.

                      I wouldn't mind, but it wasn't even for me!

                        Oh dear! But the answer is easy for this
