Giving the Nintendo DS one screen for no reason 

Be sure to watch till the end 😉

Now instead of being a DS, it’s just a S.

Next on the Retro Future: "Giving the 2DS 3 screens with 3D Functionality for no reason"

next you should take the top screen off a 3ds and turn it into an S macro, which serves no purpose except for displaying the home screen

Oh my gosh when Ashens came up I thought Autoplay turned back on and I missed one of his videos XD What a wonderful surprise guest!

Next up in the series: Giving the N64 64 cartridge slots for no reason

“giving the atari lynx a smoke detector for no reason” - would love to see that one day

My old DS Lite was one of the unfortunate systems with a broken hinge, and I usually take good care of my stuff, too, even when I was a kid. I actually forget how it broke, but oh well, that was like about 15 years ago.

I can certainly see the appeal of this. It's a good way to recycle DS lites that have a broken top screen. I just feel that doing this to fully working DS lites is a bit of a waste.

Its evolving just backwards

Thank you for keeping us sorts of people happier

Rate the ashens appearance at the end the mans a national treasure😂

“I don’t think it’s necessary” At the end of the day, what really is? Fun is the operative word with MOST, if not all projects like this. There always is an easier, though less fun, way to do things.

Ok, first we had a Gameboy SP with two screens Now we have a DS with one. EVERYTHING IS WRONG

In the future when the switch is retro tech I can’t wait for his 4K holographic mod for the switch!

Me: Oh hey I finally have a use for my broken old DS Lite! *realizes that I need specific tools and knowledge to keep the sound* Me: oh *also realizes that I don't have any Gameboy Advance games and the only two I had, I lost or my cousins stole them* Me: Oh no

i never knew how much I needed an Ashens cameo in a Retro Future video until now thank you

I didn't know you could do backflips

1:52 oh I just realized I was in this video while rewatching it

“Giving the switch 0 screens for no reason” - I want to see this

I love how you instantly regretted saying "get filling, yo!". Personally I think you did an excellent job, to say you are not expert in filling and spraying.

And then there was me, learning how to rebond the plastic and salvaging new hinges from something else to keep my original DS alive 😂

The backflip was impressive, really good form and completely caught me off guard 👌🏾😂

I absolutely love the beat you have been using for these videos, and the content too of course!

I wonder if this is what every kid thought before they ripped their ds apart in 2009.

My cart finally made it to the big time! Thanks EC, I appreciate the shout out 👍🏻

Well done in creating your Game Boy Mirco. I hope you had fun making it

This is the most energy I've seen you having and it's refreshing!

meanwhile i couldn't even get my ds lite to turn on after replacing the shell

Ah, yes. The Nintendo S. My favorite.

THE FREAKIN BACK FLIP

You always makes such interesting videos and are just a lot of fun to watch keep up the good work you’ll be at a million in no time !

I see what you did with that title

FINALY, have waited for this mod from you. Thanks a lot 😊 👍

Dude I don’t know how you do it but you always get the coolest most chill music on your videos. Almost look forward to the music selection as much as the actual videos!

When I was younger I actually broke my pink ds 's top screen and for awhile I could still play gba games until the screen started acting up. The hinges on my ds's would always loosen up and break.

New content format? Big fan. Loving these projects Elliot!

Cool! Was thinking about doing one of these mods one day, this video will be helpful!

I love the new case mod projects...its a hard skill to learn and your doing awsome

"Oh no, it's a DSi"

Olay the ending threw me off xD I thought Ashens video played after yours -lmao that was very wholesome to watch. Thank you so much for the video.

I think your general content quality has gone up recently. (I mean your videos have always been great) Keep up the good work. You always have one extra subscriber.

I'm here for all the "for no reason" videos.

“I am fairly well read in this subject area” 😂 Top tier British sarcasm

i remember when u tried to paint a gold gameboy and the paint job wasn't the best, but now, your work is amazing, great saw the improve

Love your content, man. This was a great video!

"Today we will be removing 3D function from this Nintendo 3DS, making in 2D only - a 2DS if you will."

12:26 use the spin dash mate

I really like thesse kinds of videos. Keep going! and dont lose the mood!

5:34 nice backflip tho

Next Video: “Giving the Nintendo Switch 3D for no reason” Or “Giving the DS 3D for no reason”

Nobody: The retro future: t i n y s p e a k e r t h e f t

That in a darkish blue would have looked SICK! Good job, Mate!

Really like your videos they gave me an urge of doing something myself and decide to get some game boy advance sp to repair👌🏼👌🏼

Giving the Nintendo D(ual) S(creen) one screen. lol

5:35 *show off*

Love that ending!!! Thank you

I just wanted to say thank you, this is the video that got me into console modding! And now I can finally replay all my gba games!

"Giving atari jaguar *Jaguar Fur* for no reason"

Really like what you have been doing these few years

I’ve been here since before 2k subs. You’ve done a great job Elliot!

Would love to see "giving the 2ds 3d functionality for no reason"

“I don’t think this is necessary ” from the creator of the two screen gba sp and the extended gameboy. I love your vids btw why not try and make the ds lite play original game boy games

always loved this idea lol looks sleek man!

I mist the piece where you used the dremel 🤭 Superb video! I love the honesty and modesty! Keep on makin these videos! I think I am not the only one that likes it!

I used my soldering iron to poke holes for the speaker

LOL of course

The fact that you got Ashens was bloody brilliant.

Cool build. Everyone needs a hobby and you definitely have a cool one.

When I was little I had the DS Lite and one night I was playing Mario Bros DS and I kept dying to the dumb spiders from world 8 and I got mad and bend the top screen back really hard and it broke off. 😱😱😱 I started crying like hell and I showed my Mom and she was pissed. A little while after that I turned on the DS and the bottom screen still worked so I would play GBA games on it. The games I had were Spongebob Lights, Camera, Pants which is a really good game and LEGO Star Wars 2 the original trilogy. So my DS turned into a weird GBA which was kinda cool. A few days later my Dad saw it and threw it out cause the wires were exposed. And I started crying again :(. But don’t worry there is a good ending. A few weeks later my Mom took me to ToysRUs because I got a $20 gift card from my grandparents as a early birthday present. So we go to the electronics section and outta no where my mom buys me a DSi !!!!! I started losing my shit and freaking out at the store😂😂😂. And I bought LEGO Batman 2 with the gift card I got and got home and played the hell outta that game. It stinks that they removed the GBA slot for the DSi though. So whoever is reading this thanks for reading this long!!!!!!!

Next video: “Turning a nintendo ds into a nintendo switch”

Your background music on this one sounds like a jazzy crossover hip-hop track by Macklemore. Diggin' it! The Ashens cameo at the end was hilarious too. :D

i love this channel bruh ive just found my old gameboy from when i was 8 cant wait to mod it?

This is the fastest I’ve clicked- first view! Haven’t seen much of the vid but this sounds cool so far!

This is not the last video I have wa---- *Gets Hit by random train*

I'd have to say the most impressive thing in this entire video was that backflip. Well done.

5:37 omg you have the exact same shoes as me. The stefan janoski SB Nikes.... I bought them because I thought they looked cool and I wasn't ever expecting to see anyone else with a pair. This is the very first time in 2 years that I've actually seen someone else with them. Very cool

Imagine playing sonic on this

My friend literally did this in a dumb way. He just riped off the top screen

I made one of those some time ago, but a little different. I used the two speakers and made a few horizontal cuts for de sound (you have put the speaker and then you have close it XD). And for the light, I used a little clear lego block :) Good video man!

This is incredible! Amazing! Somebody should sponser you.

This reminds me when I expediently made my own game boy macro by braking of the top screen of my DS while I was playing Pokémon emerald on the bottom screen and to my surprise the game was still running fine unfortunately after I turned the console off and back on it was not able to start again the screen only flashed on white and that was it

That’s pretty good for a first try, it looks pretty awesome

Super paint job there!!

would love more of this!!

I think you actually did really good job

This is extremely cool. I love the look of it.

3:23 THANK YOU Nice job with the mod

Love your channel dude. i love that it seems like you're bothered by your viewers lmao. Its refreshing as hell, keep it up

I love the sarcastic/light hearted vibe of this video....I can tell the quarantine is gettin to ya bro lol regardless, great work on the mod & video elliot!

I love the video, especially Ashens part hahah

Wow that led light mod is smart it looks great and as if someone put extra work into it not less.

Huh, didn't expect the back flip. My two interests combined unexpectedly (parkour+DIY tech) Nice technique as well

'And get filling, yo.' You are something else mate 😄

That Ashens cameo got me 😂 I thought the video auto played something else from my sub feed.

super cool and fun. I'm subscribing

I've been waiting for you to do a video on these. You should also make a video on the front metal shell and screen lens that boxypixel makes, those look amazing and they actually make the macro look like an official console. I cannot wait until someone figures out how to take one of those after market ips gba screens and adapt it to work in one of these
