Nice, hoping to pickup a boxed one from HK.

Re: Super Nintardbros!
The New 3DS circle pad really isn't good, is it? I remember the original 3DS one was alright. Just get angry trying to use this, it's far too slippery. Pushes the dpad into awkward position too.

Re: Super Nintardbros!
Yo Guys,
Really want to play Snes Zelda this year, but I would like a handheld solution for playing it.
I initially wanted to get a SupaBoy, especially when they fixed the 16:9 only issue with the newest model (SupaBoy SFC).
I do like the idea of playing my own cart, not really bothered that it looks a bit clunky.
However, the screen is not great, plus they are like £120 (maybe a bit less).
For not much more I could get a Switch Lite - where I have also only found out that there are Snes games with the online subscription, including Zelda! Also as a big Animal Crossing fan, there is a new version of that out in a couple of months, and also there is Katamari.
Let''s not forget STG's, and here is my question. For the normal Switch, you have that special adapter that allows you to play in TATE, so whilst I can't get that for the Lite, do any of you guys play STG's on the Lite, if so how -- do you like prop it up and use another controller, or is it possible even to use the left d pad and buttons (that would be really unwieldy right)?
This is doable on the Wonderswan just fine.

Re: Super Nintardbros!
We chatted about this since your post, but I’d recommend either the VC version on your 3DS or the GBA version on your micro.
I’m not sure how the GBA version’s “improvements” and cropping effect the original LTTP, so mentioning it here for anyone else to comment.

Re: Super Nintardbros!
I received a Dragon Injector over the weekend:
There's a few more pictures in the spoiler below:
The Dragon Injector is a payload injector to enable running custom firmware. Payload injectors are nothing new and have been around since late 2018. Payloads can also be injected via a PC or android phone. The beauty of the DI is that it fits in the game card slot and so you don't need to carry additional dongles around and/or a USB cable. It also has a RCM jig which clips into the cap and saves carrying one of those around with you too.
I've been following the project on GBATemp] and on discord and I've really enjoyed following along with the progress. There's been a few challenges along the way but I can't fault how MatinatorX has approached or handled any of it. The 'game cart' cases were 3D printed by MatinatorX from resin. Its the first 3D resin printed object I've seen in the flesh and the quality of the printing is amazing. There has been some issues with some of the retaining clip breaking on some of the V19 shells so MatinatorX is working on a revised design to ship out to those affected. For V20 he's looking to get the cases injection moulded. The dies for these will cost thousands but he's willing to stump up the cash to make the best product possible. He's truly a man after my own heart
Along with that, he's also working on a project called [DragonMMC].
This started as a project called Dragon Kicker to replace the OEM Switch kickstand with a replacement that could hold three MicroSD cards.
This then evolved to adding a PCB to the kickstand so that multiple MicroSD cards could be used and switched between. This has now evolved into DragonMMC:
Description from the GBATemp thread linked above:
The whole project is really interesting and I love the potential use of 3M 9703 conductive 'Z axis' tape for the solderless install of the proposed additional injection functionality, that's something I've never seen before.
I'm really looking forward to following this project further and watching it come into fruition
There's a few more pictures in the spoiler below:
The Dragon Injector is a project by a Canadian guy 'MatinatorX' who's pretty much developed and produced the whole thing single handedly along with a little software help by some of the guys in the community. It's been in development approx 18 months and has gone through a series of design iterations. This is pretty much the first public release and it's version 19!

Description from the GBATemp thread linked above:
Basically, it will allow you to have add two extra NANDS to the original NAND (three in total) and have a MicroSD card attached to each. All three NANDs/MicroSDs will be isolated from each other. This will allow you to run three installs, for example NAND 1 = Official Firmware, NAND 2 = Custom Firmware, NAND 3 = Android or Linux etc.

Re: Super Nintardbros!
Seems like there won't be a Animal Crossing Switch special edition, so Lite owners might want to get these beauties:

Re: Super Nintardbros!
1996 called, they want their styling back
I wanted a clear back shell for the DragonMMC install so I bought one by ExtremeRate. I had wanted some joycon shells that had a Dpad for a while too so I picked up some clear ones to match. The Dpad is quite concave but it's actually quite nice to use and a great improvement over the single buttons on the left joycon.
The heat shield needs removing to install the DragonMMC. It appears that it's not particularly effective/required as temps have only shown to have increaded by 2°C under heavy load. I would still like to use it though so I'm going to modify a spare heat shield to give some clearance and laser etch it.

Re: Super Nintardbros!
Yeah I'm not overly keen on the buttons/Dpad. I've contacted ExtremeRate to see if they sell coloured Dpads separately. If they do offer them I'll change out the Dpad and buttons.

Re: Super Nintardbros!
It was a long time ago but I did replay LTTP on the GBA, having spent a fair chunk of time on my mates SNES version as a teenager. Didn't know there were any changes, didn't notice extra croppingpubjoe wrote: ↑January 5th, 2020, 5:36 pm We chatted about this since your post, but I’d recommend either the VC version on your 3DS or the GBA version on your micro.

Every single tated handheld bar the WS has been dreadful with its built in controls. Novelty factor, not worth using. Use a separate controller.bloodhokuto wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2020, 10:57 pm Let''s not forget STG's, and here is my question.

Re: Super Nintardbros!
Battle Princess Madelyn just arrived from Limited Run Games. With no customs as it was shipped from a UK location! If thats standard now it makes them far more attractive buys.

My Garegga box did too. Shipping wasn't expensive either ($28 for quite a heavy box).
