(apologies if this thread is in the wrong section, I looked around and couldn't quite tell where the best place to put it would be.) Hey guys, I still have my old handle TheJorsh on these forums, but I'm more commonly known elsewhere for making music, modding game systems, and fighting people under the name Josh-Shmosh. I run a small business custom-modding game systems and circuit-bending stuff for people. Like 80% of what I do is commissioned and the most popular/most often requested system is the original Game Boy, so here are some of them. Starting off with this one, a commissioned system for the band Curious Quail. Inspired by the hit Gaijin Games (now Choice Provisions) series, the BIT.TRIP BOY: CandyCaneBoy? CandyCaneBoy. This one's actually kind of funny. I recreated a super-rare limited edition Game Boy that was given away on a UK game show in the 80s and had one of my friends pass it off as the real thing on NintendoAge last April 1st. Even after revealing it to be a fake I was offered a decent amount of money for it, but it got lost during Greyhound transit last Christmas (along with 90% of my personal belongings, money, and presents for family. It SUCKED.) This is one of my personal favorites. Backlight, transparent shell with case LEDs, PCB-mount prosound, and a variable clock which you can see in action here. This one reached just over $7000 on eBay but got taken down 12 hours before the auction ended and I was perma-banned. Full story here. Maybe I'll post the rest of the photos of this one later. We had a lot of fun with it. And last, here's one I'm particularly proud of at the moment, the Splatoon-themed Nintendo SquidKid. I'm doing a limited run of 25 of these, each with a unique paintjob, new screen cover, backlit, and packed inside custom-designed paint can packaging along with a squid carrying pouch and a couple other goodies. *cough*youcanbuyonehereifyouwant*cough* That's all for now, but I'll be posting more soon~ Some newer systems, older consoles, and maybe even a few electronic children's toys. And I suppose it's worth mentioning that if anyone here would be interested in ordering any custom commission stuff, feel free to shoot me a PM here on the forums, or email me at [email protected]. More stuff coming tomorrow-ish!
Thanks for the kind words, guys~ Here's one I just finished recently for the chiptune artist Dream*Eater. I have a couple more in the works that I'll have ready to post over the next couple of days, and I'm also just getting started on a Mega Man Legends-themed PS1..
