Hey! Just a tip for the spray paint quick steady strokes!! Keep making these videos!!

[@retrostashrepairs]

Thank you. And yeah I know better but had limited space and was by myself recording. 😆 and it was all good until that clear coat. Gladly the only part that got too much was under the battery cover. If not it would of all looked like trash. Next time ill be more careful, it was wierd though because it didnt happen with my shieka slate mod 🤔

[@Elisetchi]

Amazing stuff dude. Do you do anything crazy like turning tamas into usb c rechargables? Could you?

[@AdrianLignos3D]

this is so sick, kudos to you! Would it have been possible to remove the grid from the final product?

Another excellent video

[@RescueKatz]

Hello, I want to do this, and thank you so much for the video. I bought some DMG backlight kits and I am waiting for them in the mail. There is one thing though, this video skips the part where you solder the red and black wires of the DMG kit. I do not know where the rest of the wires are supposed to go. The speaker is very straight forward from the video. But at 4:03 I can see a red and black wire from the back of the motherboard and behind that another red wire as well. So it would be amazing if you could help me out with this. I think this is basically the coolest thing ever

[@RescueKatz]

Basically it looks like there is two red wires here, one brighter then the other if I am not mistaken. Also, I see the tip of the black wire soldered at 4:03, so the black wire from the backlight kit is supposed to be soldered there? And then I guess if that is true I am not sure about the red one. Anyways yeah look forward to hearing from you

[@mopete9830]

Hey I want to backlight my tamagotchi connection 2024 and I was wondering if you could tell me where to solder the wires to like what pins they go to and where would you solder the switch to cause I'm good a soldering I'm just not sure where to put the wires.

[@fluorescente]

I want to do this too but there is so little info on this

[@MrInjector_yay]

Yo what’s the song your playing in the background ? It’s a bop ngl

[@AlexRettig]

What material do you use to create the new backdrop that is reflective but also let's the light of the back light pass through. That's were I get stuck.

[@retrostashrepairs]

I use one from a broken ds lite screen and cut it to size.

[@D_DaDude]

Where do I send my tomoclauchy?And how much do you charge

[@nayuki-rn]

Is the light powered by the battery in the Tama? And if so, how long do you think the battery would last?

[@retrostashrepairs]

Yes it is, and no idea. I havnt tested it enough.

[@chriscarrillo967]

Nice work! I have a tamagotchi keitai kai (aka tamagotchi plus / tamagotchi v3) - would there be a way that I can send to you to add a backlight?

[@retrostashrepairs]

Thank you! ") and you can dm me on insta.

[@zeudysonatori4294]

Super❤ I’ve had this idea in my head for a long time too but I’ve never had the courage to try to do it.. did you use the backlit LCD panel for the game Boy?

[@retrostashrepairs]

I used the lcd led bar for the dmg kit. And used the internal thin hard plastic diffusing layer from the ds lite lcd. ")

[@hawkfeather6802]

That's really cool!

[@retrostashrepairs]

Thank you ") yeah, it makes it look way nicer

[@Amanda-iw8sh]

THE SHELL PAINTING HURT ME-

[@adamo.dambro]

Yeah.. so I guess I won’t be doing this

[@segagirladventurespico]

I bought a smile v tech v smile motion, and it was working turning on, and now it's not, and i can't understand why :( Also i cleaned the inside of my Sega pico but i broke the handle off by dropping it in a video :( it does work and im happy i found a second sega pick with box complete for 50 cad dollars in Canada lol

[@retrostashrepairs]

I wonder if something just came loose inside or something. 🤔 And aww man, thats good you were able to find that deal though ")

[@segagirladventurespico]

@@retrostashrepairs ya im not sure :( i looked for the vsmile how to repair it and no video its like the Sega Pico there was zero video i mean 1 lol on KZbin how to clean the inside i did it now it works but sucks i broke the handle handles are not fixable on the sega pico lol

[@janizky]

Wow

[@khiclark31]

Sharp

[@sunniiai]

tamagotchi should make like an og gen 2 that you can plug into your computer and run a program so you came make sprites/code in more features with coding blocks for kids to learn how to code. sorta like scratch maybe?

[@EyeLuvMakeup271]

Msg sent on IG just now

[@sucaNaitoraven951]

a shit. also rip battery soon

[@retrostashrepairs]

Yeah it drains more battery life for sure. But thats why I added a switch to be able to turn it off and on. 👍
