Excellent work! It looks like that one made by the guy who has a company rout his cases for $300. Only this was cheaper.

You sure like black right now. Looks great and it's an addition to the list of portables that use the Hip Screen. Great job.

Um, I think that was Megaman X3.

It regularly goes for about 60-85 dollars on Ebay.

I would like to have a copy, but splurging that much on a cartridge doesn't sit right with me.

Ooooh X3 and man with good(and expensive) tastes :D
I got my copy for about 30-35 US(was about 50-55 CND) in a store used, complete with box and manual(though the have some price stickers on them).

Quick question, is resoldering the cart slot really worth it? If it was, is it really that difficult? I'm thinking about doing it, but i may do mine in GBO style(aprrox. the width of the controller and height of the SNES mini mobo)
SNESp - 100%
Protable X - 15% - I need money :(

relocating it i think was worth. and it wasnt to hard as long as i took my time. i made sure to get all the solder out of each lead and tinned each wire then put a little flux on each tinned wire. it goes by pretty quickly if you tin and strip all of the wires first then get to work
