I did very briefly offer it as a kit back in 2016, but when I was doing that I ran into a lot of issues with people bricking their consoles and trying to return the kits after doing so. I personally think this is best off being sold as a complete unit, while also having tutorials available for building your own.

I used to offer send-in service to have your DS modded, but currently am not offering it because I just don’t have the time for it right now between work and personal obligations. It’s really just a huge time issue, if my work schedule frees up I will likely offer those options, but right now Macros are dependent on my free time so they come in sporadic waves.

I never really made this thing with the expectation of it becoming more than the one I built in 2015. When it randomly blew up I knew I didn’t really have the time to build them at a regular cadence, which is why I put the tutorials out there, it’s really cool to see how much the mod has spread over the years.

This would be so much better off as a DIY kit, because people already have the broken DS. You would be MUCH better off just putting together and selling kits consisting of the following:

-Shell
-Small Tri-wing Screw Driver
-Small Phillips head Screw driver
-330 OHM 0805 Surface Mount Resistor (or standard 330OHM resistor though this tutorial focuses on using a SMT resistor)

sell that as a kit and have a separate send-in service for people that are unable/don’t want to do it themselves..
