It’s kinda embarrassing but really funny at the same time, but as I was watching your video I got distracted by something on my bed and when I noticed I actually said sorry out freaking loud as if you could hear me through the internet 😂😅. Great video once again man!

Nice! You know what, you're right about the top cover. I can probably make it out of a stronger material. Gonna give it a shot. One question though. Where are you going to locate the speaker at?

Cool. Let me know. I printed a couple for someone before, and I think they may not have realized that it needed the extra love to get to fit. I’ll probably design one of my own and post it at some point. It’ll be a really simple design/print. Oh the speaker :) . Man I’m really happy with how that worked out. In the video (kzitem.info/news/bejne/rHuuraqXqqh-fqQ) you can see it on the back, half behind one of the decals up against a side of the battery. I have the “grill” going through the decal.

I noticed that the screen is bigger than the cutout in the shell. Is that normal for Freeplay screens and how do you properly center it? Only thing that comes to my mind is the overscan setting, or cutting/filing away on the shell. In the latter case the screen cover still would be to big, right?

You got it. By default the kit is setup to overscan the screen to fit the original screen opening of the GBA, and the glass screen and bezels match. We can use the entire screen if we want. I’ve done this full screen mod on my last few builds (videos up on the channel), and I’ve found a few ways to do it along the way. My first time, my Vita Sticks build, I did it the hard way. I moved the Y button post a bit and did some extra filing on the button wells to get the screen to be centered. That’s shown in build log of that build. Since then I found this post forum.freeplaytech.com/showthread.php?tid=4721 . He removed the “extra” white plastic from the ribbon cable side of the screen. I tried this and it is sooooo much easier than the way I did my first full screen mod. Doing this allows you to easily center the screen, but you still need to widen the opening. This is just cutting and filing. More filing than cutting if you’re like me. For the bezels on the glass you there are a couple ways I know. the first is to use a razor/craft knife and scrape away the parts of the bezels you don’t need to thin them up like in this post forum.freeplaytech.com/showthread.php?tid=4743 . I tried that this time, and it was working well, but I slipped and wrecked it. It’s a good idea to make sure you have a good straight edge to help get those new lines right. So instead I used acetone to remove all of the adhesive from the screen, and scratched off the rest of the paint. Then I covered the screen in transparent tape (regular packing tape), marked the new bezel areas, but those lines with a craft knife, removed the tape from the bezel areas, and painted those exposed areas with enamel spray paint, The next day I removed the rectangular tape from the screen area of the glass. I mounted it to the shell using some left over screen adhesive backing (I think I show that in a video I’ll have up in a day or two), but I’ve tried using regular double sided tape in the past and haven’t seen any issue with it.

Been wondering why did you flatten the back of it did that make more room?
@jivinhipcat

Just to decrease the size for pocketability. Also, the GBA is really comfortable, but it always kind of bothered me that there was so much empty space in there. If I did another Freeplay build I’d probably opt to keep the original shell size and fill that space with something else like a bigger battery or something.

No worries, everyone make the error of the wrong side at least once. I always have trouble with step bits, it always jump from one step to the following too fast when using the drill press, the manual way works great ;)

Oh I wouldn’t be able to; I barely have time to knock out mine :) . I will try to help out with questions and things if I can though. Since it’s your first build I’d recommend to not try to go too fast. You can focus on 1 thing at a time and try to get that 1 thing done as best you can. That’s pretty much what I still do. Do you have the parts?
