Is there any way to make a gameboy micro faceplate?
Moderator:Moderators
I have one, however it has some light scratches on it and I'd like to make a new one. Is it possible? I've tried looking on Ebay for a new one, and they're the hardest thing to find =_=

Nintendo stopped making these awhile back. The only new ones out there are Japan collectable face plates that cost $60 to $100. I have been searching for my own new faceplate for awhile too.
To make your own you would need a knowledge in case making. I have never seen a homemade Micro case.

I don't have a gb micro so I'm not sure how the faceplate connects to the unit itself but as long as it's not too intricate yeah you could probably make your own out a variety of materials. If you could post pictures of the front and back of the faceplate that would be helpful.

The only problem I see is that it's curved.

I'd be fine with a completely clear one, and if it's simple enough to make them, maybe I could work some skin making skills and apply different skins over top the clear ones. Who knows.
The clear window like part is part of the faceplate, it's not just the screen :\

You would need a CNC machine to do all that for you.
