I made a working gameboy advance sp out of LEGO bricks!

[@retrostashrepairs]

So apparently im wrong for saying legos. I wasnt aware there was a correct term for them. Although many people still say legos. Lego company themselves do and prefer always the term "Lego" like lego bricks or blocks. 😆 what did you call them growing up?

[@karlalares8322]

I called them legos 😅 ALWAYS! I mean, as a kid how were you supposed to know unless you were corrected? 🤷‍♀️

[@retrostashrepairs]

Yup, and according to the internet. Its an American thing of calling them legos 🤔😆

[@lancelotlancelot]

I say legos and I’ve never been corrected

[@retrostashrepairs]

​@@lancelotlancelot yeah same, Ive always heard many people just call them Legos

[@edtuckerartist]

Always Lego. and always will be until the sheeps come home.

🇮🇹 hi, I'm writing to you from Italy. man, I don't know if you understand that you have alien DNA. I've never seen a project like this on a console. I am speechless! you were amazing! have you tried contacting Nintendo to present your project? it could become a special edition to be sold to collectors, not a shell but a Gameboy designed and created specifically for the collection.

How to fix more friction in the lid? Well, try to not Dremel down the friction ridges on the black Pins 😉😁

[@retrostashrepairs]

Nah, I tested it both ways and it was the same. I didnt want to but had to since the lego white hinge pieces had to be glued down since they would come off easily and didnt want to end up breaking the screen or the ribbon cable 😆 and well I sanded the middle so it could go through both hinge pieces, if not it would only go through one

[@shaneazam2667]

I am a big fan of your project.u can do any thing with retro console.amazing super amazing.wonderful

[@retrostashrepairs]

Thank you very much!

[@Goopy731]

Amazing build, but does the screen grind against the legos at all? I presume you have it designed in such a way the clamp keeps it from touching, but maybe something to keep it from smacking into the button or the lego? I'm more curious than anything honestly, as I really like this idea, this should be a shell that you can just buy.

[@retrostashrepairs]

Yeah, the screen never touches any buttons or any lego. 😊👍 if it did, my ocd would of kicked in and changed it 😄

[@Goopy731]

@@retrostashrepairs Ah so you're like me then when it comes to perfectionism. I get it, I need things aligned down to a t too, haha.

@@Goopy731 yeah 😁 I have an art degree lol. So im one of those, when I used to paint or draw and I wasnt liking it. I would just start all over 😆

@@retrostashrepairs Explains a lot, glad to see your skills coming to play in your hobbies honestly, I love a good mod, but more projects like this in the future might be worth pursuing, as you have the potential to give things a flair that might shake up the scene a little. I definitely have notifications turned on for you now before I forget. Do you plan on more projects like this at all or other interesting shells?

[@rairch4683]

This is truly amazing! What a build! How long did it take to plan the build out? Seriously cool ❤️

[@retrostashrepairs]

Thank you! Well I had planned to make this video a few months ago, but finally got around to it. But the actual planning, I just brainstormed ideas while I had my childhood lego pieces on hand. I didnt get started until I bought a new box a couple of days later. 😊

[@conrad5342]

Some time ago I was thinking about creating a shell for the GameCube made out of Lego, but the step size of Lego made it impossible without cutting and gluing pieces.

[@retrostashrepairs]

Yup same with the sp 😁 it was quite a challenge

What was that red wire you attached?

[@retrostashrepairs]

Its for the Ips screen, which guves you 10 brightness options.

[@julieboruta]

If it’s made from Lego’s then explain to me how the circuit board would turn on a screen if Lego green circuit board and Lego black screen are used. This is why the title of saying completely out of legos is a bit misleading.
