Think there's folks on here who convert that sorta stuff to GBA video if you have a look.
"You'd never know it wasn't factory" made me laugh.
This stuff is like wizardry to me, I'm fascinated by how it's all done (not the hot glue, I understand how the hot glue works). Thanks for doing your detailed teardown, extremely entertaining!
Friends video I converted to GBA so he did 99% of the hard work by actually making the console but it is some good stuff. Here's his channel if you wanna check out similar videos too. Like a portable SNES held together by tape haha.

Oh excellent, thanks for the link!
How'd you make this? I've been wanting to make one myself
A few hours of experimentation and bugger ups over a few days haha. Followed a mix of stuff between this guide and this guide. Was a lot easier to get running than I thought too. And ended up bein' pretty fun. Sent James a copy of it on a cart recently too, there's an exclusive vid of him lookin' at it on his Floatplane that went up last night that made me smile haha.
Despite bein' a video that's around ten minutes or so, to get this one lookin' and soundin' nice enough for me to be happy with ended up with the beefy GBA rom so if ya wanna flash it to a (non Everydrive sorta) cart you'd need to go for a larger one.
Thanks for the tips! How big of a cart are we talking?
Nothin' too huge, I went with a 32mb one which only just fit this rom. I had a few 8mb ones handy (which seem way more common) but they weren't even close so had to order a larger one. Cost a bit more than the others I had but was worth it to get it all up and running finally haha.
Videos over ten or twenty minutes with decent quality would get pretty big but shorter videos and roms would be all good on smaller carts.
