Ойындар

Please note that these kits are NOT compatible with the funnyplaying laminated housings! The mounting mechanisms are completely different and not at all compatible.

    Unless you want a specific feature or look, they all do pretty much the same thing in pretty much the same way. I have a wiki linked in the description that summarizes these kits.

    For some certain games I like playing on my GBA which has the Funnyplaying ITA screen but for the majority of games I prefer this one in the video, maybe due to the higher resolution. Using the pixel grid option you will have to bump up the brightness to balance things out, which in return impacts the battery life but even so from all the screens I've tried this one is currently number 1. But it's all subjective tbh

    All these kits use frame buffers so that's gonna be an additional 1 or 2 frames on top of whatever frames the kit is already behind on.

    I installed two of these kits recently. The top touch sensor never works when stuck inside the shell, only the bottom sensor works. I just cut both of them off and use button controls. Also one of my screens came with a dead pixel out of the box. Other than that the installation is much better than the FP laminated kit. The FP kit does have a better DMG color palette option than this one.

    Hey Makho, my R shoulder button wasn't working properly. Light presses worked every now and then. I tried with a q-tip soaked with IPA, pressed the button a bit and it worked since the shoulder button was responsive. But it lasted just a couple of days. I then tried to put more IPA inside with a syringe at the sides of the button but somehow it made it even worse and now it's working only if I hard press the R button. Should I just buy a replacement trigger or is there a way to actually clean it? For example for the DS Lite there's a way to do so (by bending the metal shield and cleaning the metal inside) and it actually worked on mine. Thank you!

    If opening the button and cleaning it doesn't work, buy a pair of tacts and replace both imo (so they match, not because you can only replace the one).

    There's no bracket behind the screen here but the LCD assembly is very thick. I'd wager they are about the same but with fewer moving pieces, this one is still gonna be a lot easier to wrangle.

    this kit looks like the screen is slightly pushed back so some angles end up having edges cut off, i was wondering if the funny playing laminated kit also has that or if it doesn’t have any of the screen cut off reguardless of the angle

  • @makho

    @makho

    Nah so with these screens, the LCD is laminated to a small piece of glass the size of the view window and then the glass spacer is laminated to the glass lens. This pushes the screen back (enough to clear the edges of the shell and allow this to work without cutting more of the shell out) but also kinda messes with the viewing angles since the LCD is so inset. FP laminates their LCDs directly to the lens and the result is more in line with what most people expect.

    hey Makho, think its possible to trim the funnyplaying GBA IPS/ITA Custom Shells that fit the funnyplaying 3.2 inch IPS LCD for this mod kit? It looks similar to this shell you used but has some posts I would need to get rid of in addition to the trim

    It should already fit that kit. The posts were oriented in such a way that you gotta clip one or two depending on the kit you're using anyway.

    Backlight kits make bad investments with how often newer iterations come out with new features. Get a kit you want for the build you want. A lot of the better kits require cutting your shell or purchasing a modified shell.

    I have a feeling you are the type to respond to comments… i have a gba that i recently did a laminated 3.0. I dont remember it doing this before the mod but since i have had to work the power switch multiple times before it will turn on. I have replaced the battery, reflowed the power switch and cleaned the power switch thoroughly… any recommendations?

    Hey Makho this may be a stupid question, but since this queation has always bothered me here goes. Since some screen mods use phone screens or the ds lite screen why not use the touch screen to implement/control the brightness on this original launch model gba? Seems to me it would save on soldering and make mods truly drop in. I mean u are already using an adapter board to make those screen work for the gba wouldn't make more sense to add a few extra components to make the touch work?

    @@Miroslawkrynda6477 they are removed. the dsi one is already a really tight fit as is. so, I couldn't imagine making that thicker with a digitizer and a larger board. then you would also not be able to have it laminated unless you had a custom front capacitive digitizer. but that gets into the too expensive and too much work for something that has already been solved with touch sensor/soldering to test pads.

  • @E-Box

    The digitizer is a separate assembly with a separate cable and would also require a dedicated controller circuit to handle all the functionality, in addition to the fact that digitizers are typically of a proprietary design specifically for the phones they were designed for, I don't know if it would be all that feasible to design and produce a brand new digitizer to retrofit an existing LCD. If you were to go that far, it may make more sense to design an entirely new LCD, though I can't say the high costs and redundancy would be worth it for a bit of functionality on a drop-in replacement that is already achieved with an insanely easy skill. If you can undo a few screws and completely reassemble a GBA, you can surely solder a few wires. Of course, I won't try to discourage you or anybody else from creating such a product and bringing it to market! 👍
