My childhood dream setup is finally done.
Silver SCPH-5000x fat model
2TB HDD inside, full library via OPL - no more scratched discs
Playing wirelessly with a PS3 controller through that little BT adapter on the front
The thing with the screen is a MemCard PRO 2 - basically infinite virtual memory cards
It feels so good to have no cables, fast loading, and the whole PS2 library at my fingertips. This is honestly the best way to play PS2 in 2026.
Still rocking your PS2s or am I the last one?


Hello! I’d like to share two of my recent Game Boy Macro projects with you, both built using the Nintendo DS Lite.

The first features a black shell with pink accents, while the second uses a red and black color scheme. For both, I aimed for a clean, polished look while maintaining the signature minimalist Macro design.

On the pink Macro, I also added a hardware switch that allows you to toggle between the two screens. It was a small but interesting mod that sets it apart from the standard configuration.

Both projects are part of my collection, and I really enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations and modifications.

I modified my GBA with an IPS display and made it all black since I have an all white one, but it looks boring to me. Should I add white buttons to it? I think the white buttons open it up a lot more. What do you think?

Just wanted to share my DSi XL.
I’ve always loved how big and comfortable the DSi XL feels compared to the regular DS models.
Currently playing Mario Kart DS and it still looks fantastic! 🎮🔥

After some difficulties with the mod, I finally finished my MACRO mod for the DS Lite with a function to switch between screens while keeping the touchscreen. It took a lot of fiddling with CFW and patching ndstvout, but in the end it worked. I have some remarks on the case that I will fix, but I'm in a hurry to show you the final result!

Hello, this is my second macro I've made and I've run into a slight problem. I've added a switch button that changes screens and when I close the back panel the console stays like this. If I open it slightly down near the headphone jack or up near the left L button the console starts. I've isolated everything! Has anyone run into such a problem?

Finally took a moment to appreciate my Glacier White Game Boy Advance.
There’s something special about this color. It’s simple, clean, and in my opinion one of the best-looking GBA variants Nintendo ever released.
This one has been upgraded with a modern IPS display, making classic games look better than ever while still keeping the original feel of the console. Right now I’m replaying Super Mario Bros., and it reminds me why the GBA will always be one of my favorite handhelds.
Sometimes the oldest consoles bring the biggest smile.
What’s your favorite GBA color? 🤍

After waiting for the correct resistor to arrive, I finally completed my DS Lite Macro Mod. The first resistor I ordered was the wrong value, so the console wouldn’t boot properly and only flashed briefly. Once the correct resistor was installed, everything worked as expected.
I’m really happy with how it turned out. The shell, screen, and overall look came together nicely, and now I have a dedicated Game Boy Advance machine with a clean and compact design.
What do you think? Any suggestions for future upgrades or customizations?
