Hopefully this makes up for the recent click bait thumbnail I made. I’m sorry :(

Enjoy!

Can't wait to see you make the DS with 4 screens

Wideboy is what I'd always call the GBA when someone was like "Oh you mean the GBA SP, " no dummy I mean the wide boy...
Now I shall call your creation the wider boy

“Purple, a real color that exists.”
Not something that I ever doubted before the end of that sentence.

[gameking]

I fully expected this to just be 3d printed and am I'm pleasantly surprised at the work that went into this.

This really had a perfect homegrown vibe, where anyone with a few tools could do this

[Pixelcraftian]

If there's the Long Boy then this would be the Long Boy Horizontal, amazing video! Gonna be honest I would buy this

[Gfreak]

The strangest thing about this, is that it could add a ton of space for additional mods.

[kramerdesign]

Real whiplash from the clickbait to an extremely 'what you see is what you get' title and thumbnail!

Respect for copping to that and resisting the urge

25 years in the future: “I’m going to be making this Nintendo switch wider for no reason! As you can see this uses a “screen” instead of the normal holograms we use today smh”

The fact that he could even do this, is just scary impressive.

[salmonator]

This is so awesome. I would legitimately pay for this. Having a wider gba for my bigger hands seems like a great mod honestly. Another one I would love to see is a lid that folds down to protect your screen when you arent playing... like the DS essentially. I would be interested in doing this myself but I think its outside my scope right now. Cheers!

[LucaBlightOfHighland]

Are you aware of the fact that these works of yours cross over into the field of art rather than modding? That is, to build an object for the sheer pleasure of doing it and enjoying its form, which has no function other than to exist... This IS art, Elliot, no kidding.

[daftward]

Good to see Clive is getting more screen time. His character development is all that I follow this channel for.

[RainWalking]

I was really confused. I thought someone has literally made a official shell. As it looks so good.

[Rowsdowr]

Legit, though. Wouldn't having your hands farther apart be beneficial for ergonomics? If so every GBA player should do this for their health.

[pallsmortion]

I've heard of this mythical "purple" but never seen it before, great work

[gmmalotus]

So, when I definitely do this mod, do I need to do the "Sanding, priming, filling, sanding, crying, breathing, and sanding, sanding" in that order?
