@imyxh water transfer feels like overkill for this particular case - the front shell's surface is almost entirely flat with maybe 2mm of bevel on the sides

@SnepperStepper@mastodon.social i did this already! their support hours are m-f 9-5 so maybe theyll get back to me this week

specifically i would like a way to do this that doesn't involve spending $3000 on a specialized printer

i just wanted to research options for making a custom gba shell. how did i get down a rabbit hole that goes as deep as googling "variable height inkjet nozzle"

@pup_hime @noiob apparently DAB is standard in europe and also used in australia, but only... norway, i think, has actually done an FM switchoff, and AM and FM are both still commonly used in the united states (i can't speak for elsewhere in the americas)

Here's another experiment on the #playdate simulator while I wait for my unit to arrive: Falling Sand on the framebuffer

my partner nerd-sniped me by showing me this post: twitter.com/ObsoleteSony/statu (image attached)

it's a Sony SRF-201 fm radio from 1985, and it's the size of a credit card and only 3mm thick. i immediately wanted to know how they got it so thin, and from staring at a picture of the internals the best i can figure is "surface-mount components and an absurdly compact circuit board design"

i don't even listen to the radio but i kind of want one because look at it

it would be really funny if on april fools the pokemon rates bot just posted "pikachu fucking sucks"

lf a retro gaming console in exchange for art 

Shot in the dark but does anyone have a GameCube they're not using that they want to trade for some art?? my Wii that I've had since 2007, that I've had repaired twice now, stopped reading my GCN discs and I'm so sad about it lmao

idc what color it is or anything, as long as it has all its cables and works. I have controllers and games. DM me or email me at dynamo.deepblue.art@gmail.com, I guess if you're serious? I don't have a lot of money so that's why I'm offering art rn.

I'll do a full body, banner or themed badge for you if you want to trade 🙏🏾​

im sure im not the first person to make this joke but it came to me in a dream so i was compelled

@Hearth i will say it's kind of cool to even be able to consider doing this stuff myself, back when i first got these consoles it didnt even cross my mind that i'd be opening them up

i wonder how moddable the old fat ds is. i'd love to replace the screens in that thing someday if i can

@Hearth it looks like there are replacement cartridge slot modules available to purchase online (e.g. amazon.com/Reader-Module-Repla) that don't appear to require soldering to install... if it gets really bad maybe i'll consider that

@Hearth that sounds like a finickier operation than i know how to do... maybe i'll take it to a shop

@Hearth the 3ds seems to see the cart pretty consistently when i turn the console on with it inserted, it's mostly just when i remove and reinsert it that it sometimes fails to see it. so i'm wondering if the mechanism to detect insertion of a cart is going marginal

@nytpu okay... i shone a flashlight in there and there didn't seem to be anything obviously awry with the pins. the 3ds seems to see the cart pretty consistently when i turn the console on with it inserted, it's mostly just when i remove and reinsert it that it sometimes fails to see it. so i'm wondering if the mechanism to detect insertion of a cart is going marginal. i can't disassemble the thing any further right now because i'm missing my really tiny screwdrivers
