What Have You Done To Your Gp32?

[DaveC]

I have noticed that the GP32 is the "Harley" of handhelds. Like a Harley, It is not the newest technology, not the fastest you can buy, and has its share of quirks. But like the Harley it seems to have a cult following and it seems to be customised alot. I was wondering what customisation you have on your GP32. Maybe you have an idea that hasn't been done yet, let's hear it.

Oh, and I forgot different Firmware on the list duh!.

I just have the glass screen on mine, it R00lz! I was thinking maybe of a joypad mod but the stick is not bad and I have gotten used to it.

i have a cool green sticker on mine. it RAWKS!

 

[Goity]

i made a scratch on the side of mine... when I dropped it :lol:

 

[davey g]

I have the glass screen mod, a botched one at that :angry:

I charge £10 inc. shipping to do my patented "cm long scratch on LCD" mod.

 

[IntenseWage]

Painted it and probably ruined it forever.

 

[cozmic]

I broke my power inlet.

 

[finraziel]

If firmware counts as a mod, then yeah sure I modded mine, I just received mine yesterday actually but I did stick slubman's fw in it .

 

[Quiest]

Thats a silly poll, because most people like me (glass & paint) have done more than one mod to their gp32.
And you can only pick one mod, so I`m not voting.

 

[taras]

Other - sold it

 

[Dozer]

I had my last one volt modded, but this one just has a small sticker. I have a chatboard which is in your poll for some reason though.

I have my GP since 2002.
I broke the latch of the battery lid and glued it back with superglue. Now I have to use a knife to push the latch down and remove the cover. :wacko:
I have also used a dremel tool to expand the joystick socket, so it would make diagonals.
I have changed the button/membranes twice. First using a membrane from a cheap gamepad, then using GBAX membranes, which are much better.
Oh - I have also added the glass screen (after I added the replacement GBAX plastic screen). The glass screen is much better.
And rewired the speakers.
And burned Firmwares - first the "no intro" hacked original FW, then multifw, then my very own PhodaFW (Windups 1.0 + Phodrive), the Slubman FW with Phodrive (of course). Slubman firmware rocks!
I have a made a GP32 Wormlight made out of two Gameboy Wormlights (it looks like an antenna) which were also modified using 10.000cd LEDs for extra brightness. Someday I will buy a BLU unit though.

I also tried modding a light deflection screen from an old Ipaq. It did not work.

My GP still works, in case you may ask.

i don't have mine yet but i'm ordering it with the glass screen and a voltage mod

 

[Phycho Doughboy]

I've colord my GP32 black [sorta dull looking, and the cover and a part of the back's color iz fading somehow... ] and I changed my firmware 3 times [ currently have slubman's firmware with phodrive] .
BTW : Where can I order a glass screen, and how the heck can you make lighting buttons?? That sounds cool, but I'm selling my gp32_console for $110 so I can get a European BLU.

Also: since my paint job ain't the best, has anyone done a paint job that came out very well? If so, what did you use?

Oh yeah, where can I get chatboard support?

 

[Axeman]

NOTHING! Cos I can't be arsed

 

[woogal]

I have a screen replacement (not glass, but one of the plastic ones gbax used to sell), and an official black shell

 

[lek]

All of 'em!

Although my current (i.e. working) GP32 is only volt modded...

 

[lek]

Something else as well, although I'm not finished with it yet. It only works with some extra wiring, which I've yet to solder in place permanently........

It'll be done when it's done

I love the spinning around effect!!! :lol: That would be a good mod though!

Mine is voltage modded and has 2 nice indents on the gray part by the screen from my clumsy hands dropping it. I want to paint it blue with yellow stars over the speakers but am Fearful of making it look like a POS! Hahaha like I did when I ruined 2 PSX controllers by painting them.... But that is a diffrent story....

 

[JRyouK]

i've broken my old gp's lcd connecter somehow. only some weird colour left on the screen. now i am soldering the wires ONE BY ONE back to the pcb. there are 50 wires~!
don't know when it will be done, or it will be destroyed by my clumsy soldering skill
