Gameboy macro xl case with speaker holes8/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Then desolder one or both sets of speakers marked below. Once it’s out, push the screen out from the front of the case (just push against the plastic), and it will come out, speakers and all. You can either cut it, or roll it up and slip it through the metal ring. You’ll need to remove the ribbon cable holding the screen in. Once it’s open you should see something like this. I usually start at the hinge since that’s easy to separate. Just do the same as you did on the case and slowly work around. Now you need to flip it over, and pry the back off. Get the top screen and remove the covers marked in red. You can test it if you’d like, but it should work now. Guide by John Sparks, credit to Fibbef for speaker method two.There is some double sided tape holding the right side of the bios module down, so it will be slightly tough to remove this gives you a fresh screen, be sure to remove the bezel from the top part of the touch screen and place it back on. By removing the top layer of the touch screen you will be left with the portion with the little dots on it, a grid that tells the system where the stylus is on the screen, worry not as you can nearly see them. You are done, I suggest removing a thin layer of the touch screen, as it is probably scratched. place speaker in desired place and presto. Scrape up a piece from around this area and solder your second wire. Solder a wire to this point and the other wire to any ground. next to the "SELECT" SMD tactile switch, there is a solder point "SPR0" this is your right speaker. If you do not have the top screen or the ribbon was cut, then this will be the only was to get sound. Place the speaker in the front side under the A/B buttons. Connect the ribbon cable and bend it backwards and fit it in the shell as you place the motherboard back in the bottom shell as you prepare to reassemble. Solder wires to the speaker contacts and pcb. If your DS had the top screen still attached with the ribbon undamaged, open the top half and remove the ribbon cable along with the small PCB. The way I place the resistor has less of a footprint then the other methods and is more convenient. Others solder an LED instead of the resistor. This involves having the ribbon cable intact and disassembling the top screen to harvest the LED ribbon cable. (NOTE) Most people salvage the led's from the top half of the screen and leave them attached to the little PCB to get the system to turn on. Place in back half of the shell, insert the battery and turn the system on. If not cut it will make the case hard to close, not to mention it will snap the resistor off and it could ruin the system. This small piece on the shell serves to support the motherboard from the back side. The direction the resistor is facing does not matter.īe sure to cut off the small part of the back shell seen here. Place the resistor on the back side resting on the motherboard and bend the leads over.Ĭut off the excess leads and bend down and solder to the points. I have made my own method for placing the resistor on the board. Next to the "START" SMD tactile switch, you will find solder points LED C2 and LED A2, this is where you will need to solder a 1k ohm resistor. Now that the shell is done, time to power up the system. Once ready for paint, prime, paint a color of your choosing and apply a clear coat to protect the paint. Sand the shell fully to get a nice and even surface for painting. it makes it lighter not to mention it causes less problems when closing the shell if you filled in the cart slot on the back side of the shell. (OPTIONAL STEP) - Remove the DS cart holder completely from the motherboard. On the back side, fill in the pen hole and cartridge slot as you will not need it anymore. Once fully apart place everything in a plastic bag to not loose any piecesĬut down the excess top screen hinges and fill in the holes left over with epoxy of your choice.īE SURE TO NOT FORGET to make speaker holes in the front side under the A/B buttons. Take apart the DS completely but keep the DS bottom screen connected. ![]() I will keep the guide quick but throrough. They are very different and there is virtually no room inside this shell, the space is really compact. I will be making a separate guide for the DS lite. The nintendo DS need the top screen to turn on, but in this guide you will find how to trick it to think it is. If this is the case then the DS still works. If it flickers and turns off this is due to the top screen not being connected. Please use a DS that turns on and preferably has the top screen still attached. Let me Explain a few things to save you some trouble: Click to expand.This guide is for making your own Gameboy MacroĮssentially a bottom screen only DS original with the top screen cut off.
