From Woozle: I’ve been working a lot on the full case, it’s pretty much done. If you press down on the cartridge guide it clicks which is annoying but not sure how to fix that. It sits on top of some SMD components on the gba board which make it wobble like 0.5mm when you press it. No way to stabilize it without another printed part. In normal use it should never be noticeable unless you mash on it.

All that’s left is the plexiglass, I gotta reposition the holes and just double check the shape outline by printing a mock up piece.

I get my Digi-Key order on Wednesday which has the parts to test the 32 pin adapter. Also has the full case front panel power switch so I can double check that it fits.

A main board pcb was sent to the 3D print guy so he can test fit the LCD replacement version of the consolizer mount. So those might start production very soon as well.

I’m going to leave the sale page up until I have 50 kit orders, but since it’s taking forever i’m going to go ahead and put in the order with the fab once enough have sold to cover costs, maybe like 5-10 more orders. Sitting at 18 order right now.

I’m going to do a run of GCDual kits. I will leave the sale up until I get at least 50 pre orders, but if that happens right away i’ll leave it up for at least 2 weeks and order as many as are sold at that point.

GCDual the GameCube 240p/480p HDMI Internal upgrade kit

Kits are sold out!!!!
I will have pre modded consoles with #HeightDefNES installed for sale soon though.
Those kits are slowly trickling in, mostly top load versions at this point.
#kevtris is making more kits now so stock should come back in 2-3 months.

GBAConsolizer kits are with Woozle being programmed and tested now.
One pcb set is on it’s way to me so I can test fit them with samples of the 3D printed pieces needed for the kit.
Once they are confirmed good fit I will put in the order for the required pieces for the pre orders.
This includes full case version as well as the regular console LCD replace version of the 3D printed parts.
There will be various colors available that the parts supplier has available, but we can request others if need be.

I am reworking my main computer so I will not have any YT vids up about this any time soon, but I will start posting them once I have the puter up and running again.

Boards have arrived at @Woozle64 so programming and testing will start asap! 3D printed parts samples should be showing up at my door soon as well! No we do not know when the next pre order will happen yet. 🙂

From Marshall:

The boards are now going through customs, the flex are in progress but
delayed. It’s unclear if they will be shipped before or after the
chinese Spring Festival. In any case if the boards require rework
(they probably will) then it’ll take some extra time for that
regardless.

I am focusing on HW2 now and these boards will be built at a new fab.
New flex for this version has IGR builtin and also works great with my
proto.
