      @obsidianspider Hey thanks!

      N64 emulation is the next step :)

        My BK game boy came today interestingly enough its seems this model in particular does not have the hinged bulge on the back like the others and is a lot more flat
        I have placed a credit card next to game boy for size comparison.
        Does raise some concerns as to whether it will actually fit in this type

            @disco0 I like the form factor of it not being as huge, but yeah, without that hinge, I'm not sure how you'll go about getting it apart. You're going to have to figure out a way to get inside without mucking up the case. I messed up my first attempt with the blue toy by slicing along the seam. There's an overlap of the two halves of the case. They're "welded" inside the case.

                And it looks just like the pink one for the shape.

                  I'd slice the case in half with the trusty dremmel!

                        I was kidding, use whatever you want to slice it.

                                      @tessietn I bought some screws and nuts that I think may work for closing the case, but I haven't done a lot of comparing to other small screws. I don't want some huge hardware hanging out the back if I can help it. That's about where I am at this point.

                                          @tessietn Thanks for following, but you certainly don't need to wait for me to finish to make one. I don't know what I'm doing, so it's really just a bunch of figuring it out as I go.

                                            @obsidianspider haha don't be humble. I really don't know about electronics & stuff to make a handheld console. So i plan to follow you. I'm not sure if i can make a breadboard gamepad lol.
