All four of the #Wonderswan handhelds were alive! A little hard to see in two but they work. Time to recap and order some #IPS screens! 🕹️📺😎

How about these blasts from the past? I don’t usually take on just repairs but the customer had no expectations they could be saved. And saved they were! 🕹️

Made another small batch of the #SNES decoder kits by #BennVenn. These are aimed at adding an external controller to #AtariLynx but you can use it for other consoles too! 🕹️😎😻

The mod parts for tonight's stream were delivered to the wrong address and the USPS is trying to track them down BUT Saturday is now open again so we'll move ALD Retromods back to the normal 'sidehustle slot'

Replaced the original IPS screen in this #PSP with a much brighter after market version. The tiniest solder pads to short, but overall an easy mod!
