Use original DC power jack for charging

Post by Cannikin » Sat May 14, 2016 9:23 pm

I'm planning on keeping the case as stock as possible and am planning on reusing the DC charging jack and tapping that into the PowerBoost. I figured I'd have to make a custom USB-to-DC jack adapter but these guys have the exact thing we'd need! http://www.nintendorepairhut.com/access ... ndods.html Granted, it's not as convenient as exposing a micro USB port, but I'm hoping on getting the PowerBoost into the battery compartment so I can always plug in there if I don't have my handy new cable lying around.

They've got a bunch of other GB parts including a brand new shell and buttons for $12. It's a replica, but looks good from the photo: http://www.nintendorepairhut.com/repair ... items.html

Interesting, thanks for sharing! It'll probably look more elegant than if you spliced the cable together. :D
