Five months later after mastering the first game, juggling between several other games casually playing including this one, I spent a good few days sitting down and actually playing this through more than playing it for a half hour on my lunch break at work. First thing I would like to say, whoever programmed the AI in that damn Monkey Soccer needs to be put in time out because that was HARD. Loved the New Game Plus Easter Egg of Spike coming back, was mildly disappointed when it wasnt the same voice actor, that would've been really cool, especially if Jake randomly showed up.

Anyway, not sure what the 3rd mastery will be, pretty close to finishing Parasite Eve, might sit down and really go for my Zelda ALttP playthrough, might even be Ape Escape 3 at this rate.

If anyone is interested in following me, my profile name is Ryuzimaki.

On the left is the old screen, on the handheld itself is the new screen sent in by Retroid Support. After a back and forth for about a week, $57 USD, and about 2 hours of research later, I managed to get it installed, up and working!

Like any other mechanic I had 2 extra screws, took me a bit to figure out where they went but eventually got it.

For those curious/wondering how to repair these yourself, remove the backing, remove the heatsink and fan, the right side joystick, unhook the ribbon, reverse order with new part. I strongly recommend angled precision tweezers for ribbon cables and other connectors in the fan. I personally have HyperTough 77 piece set.

If anyone has further questions in the process, I'm open to elaborate further.

Bought a PS2 on FB Market, Came with a few PS2 games. Went out of my way to hunt down a copy of PE1. A game store has a CIB copy. and disc 2 and 3 loose. Another store was only missing the demo disc and the booklet, had a black label box, disc 1 and 2. Managed to nab both for 170 since the CIB game store felt bad it took an hour for the other store to quote me selling the incomplete set as is. Dropped the CIB to 120, the other store calls me otw home to tell me 50 bucks.
