Clear DS...
flooky | 1:48 AM on 08.21.2009 24 comments


So I modded my DS to have a clear housing...

I never really thought it was the coolest thing in the world but when I posted it in IRC people went bat shit sorta.
And by people I mean Vexed_Alex.

So I guess I'll unveil to you all my grainy shots of my clear DS taken with my N800 tablet....











God that is a terrible camera attached to that little fucker, sorry about the quality I'll hopefully update tomorrow with better...clearer pictures. BADUMCHEE!

Well I've had it like that for about 2 years... I think... I don't really remember when it happened actually.

I just remember the screams of horror when I couldn't get the screen to turn on for like an hour after I put it all back together. Then I checked all the connections and found a few loose ones and fixed it.

I seriously DO NOT suggest you do this to your DS unless you know what your doing it took me for fucking ever to get the springs to sit correctly in the left and right buttons.

Cool DS and Krow WTF? why?
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
How long did it take you to do this? I want to switch out my old case for something new but all the guides online look very time consuming. And there's the chance I could fuck up my DS lite.

Although if I do, it would give me the excuse to buy a DSi.
DaedHead8's Destructoid Blog
That's freaking awesome! I wish I had the technical know-how to pull something like this off.
Mushman's Destructoid Blog
Krow wins, I couldn't help but cry with laughter when watching the video, the sheer randomess of it set me off for some reason.

So, yeah, wtf Krow?? ;)

It took a couple hours all together, it wasnt that hard. Its easy if you just look at a disassembly guide do exactly as it says and then just do the guide backwards in the new case. There isnt any unsoldering or soldering to do. A couple places that will give you trouble are getting the ribbon cable in and out of the hinge because if you rip it your fucked for an upper screen and you now have a flip top gameboy advance lol. Another one is the upper screen it has very strong adhesive puff strip thing holding it in and you will think you broke it when you first pop it out but its ok you can man handle that thing and it will be fine. And also the springs in the left and right flippers holy crap it will take you for ever to set them and when you put go to put the back on again they will just pop out of place so i that will take a while before you get it just right.

What the fuck. You made this?

That's epic!
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
Awesome. I JUST ordered a see through blue one, along with a whole bunch of random shit from DealExtreme.com including a set of retractable metal styli, a mini bluetooth dongle for my netbook, and some other crap that I can't remember.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!
GuitarAtomik's Destructoid Blog
Wait...Flooky blogs? Also awesome.
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
If I give you a virtual boy, will you do it for me?
themizarkshow's Destructoid Blog
Nice. If I had the patience to do that, I still probably wouldn't. But I'm glad others do so I can look at them and be like "eee, its pretty!" without any work on my behalf.
flooky's Destructoid Blog
if you give me a virtual boy will i put a clear case on it? do they even make cases for those things?
flooky's Destructoid Blog
I miss you topher!

 about me


My names Leah, but all the cool kids call me Flooky. I love to draw hands and eyes. I like to think of myself, not as awkward but as mystifyingly perplexing. I play bass and guitar. I knit, make clothing and do art, there close to being all my life is about. I have a N64, NES, PS2, dream cast, sega genesis, sega game gear, game boy color, and game boy micro I'm a retro gaming nerd ^_^. I love a ripping good game of cops and robbers. I Love Love Love classic cars. I'm a greaser. I love ska. I'm a rudegirl of sorts. I love to skank! I love horror movies. I collect records, I love classic rock. My favorite song of all is LIKE A RAINBOW IN THE DARK by DIO. I have 5 cats, 2 dogs, and a bunny. There my company in this boring world. I do have a tendency to fart with the fragrant sent of Rainbows and your God. Quantum Physics tickles my mind. I study the work of Albert Einstein. My two true loves in life are Joesph, my amazing cat and Optimus Prime my pup. People often say I'm a few bricks short of a load I'm not allowed to use sharp objects and I should be locked in a rubber room.
