What do you plan to do to hide the hinge part? I have seen a few and they look great, but only when they do something with the mold (like your first image) to fix the damage done by the broken hinge.
Really looking forward to see what you do.

I'll be using bondo/hard drying putty after I cut the hinge off. pretty much what Anthony did.

Huh, I actually got another DS to try this out. Its quite damaged(light section is broken, screen wires are loose?) I'll need to open it and see whats up first. Though, you're doing an awesome job there Wes!

Almost done I used more putty to tidy up the top area of the front plate, I'm now down to the clear coat process. I have a speaker working but I'm not sure if it is worth putting it in the final build as it is really hard to hear.

Well look no further, she's done! I also ended up leaving the speaker in, as quiet as it may be.

That turned out really nice, great job!
Now when I see busted up DSL online I might think about buying it.

It was supposed to come out as a Yoshi green. Close enough.

I ended up changing the mainboard over with another unit, the one I originally used was running really hot and using lots of battery. The new one runs much cooler but has a sound issue, sound works on the DS side of things but no sound in GBA games. Weird.
