I would have suggested getting a big controller, either from onr of those Tv video games, or like a ps1 controller, and remove it's guts, then cut a square just to set your ds in, making holes and slots for the headset, slot cover, and stylus. Then you can probably get some kind of rubbery material, like silcone placed in the square to keep the ds snug and secure. Then again, theres a grip already sold in gamestops that even carry an extra battery inside for your ds. Good luck on this, mate. Hope you can make a nice, kick-ass looking grip .

well, After I put em in, I want to put in a anolog stick or so

[seikene]

Ohhhh. Well that changes everything. But wouldn't you have to rewire the analog to the ds itself? I thought this was going to be a dettachble grip, but in any case, it would be very sick to add an analog to the mix, hehe. I really hope you pull this off, I'd probably ask for help to try it myself if it really comes out tight

or, I may put in rumble for the grips

N64 FTW!!

Good luck,I tried something like this,but much harder,with no avail.It was a whole ds integrated into a 64 con...didn't happen.No con and no case now ^_^

[seikene]

Ouchies, mate. Well it'd be cool to use something like the PS2 rumble, but only if it didn't make your whole ds shake like an earthquake, so I'm guessing you might have to find an old cellphone, break it apart, and get the vibrator some in there.

Motor. Vibrators are meant for other things xD

[MARIOPARTY53]

oh yeah, btw, updates are at top so.......

[FreeK]

nice so far

i remember a while back, i bought a grip kit for my phat ds that youd just clip on the back, but this is a whole different story

and a Q
are they permanent or can they be put on/taken off when wanted?

if theyre perm then it destroys the whole compact pocket fitting design

[Aricado]

For rumble search instructables for ds rumble.You just need a pic a rumble and some other stuff.Looking good so far,good idea to use the n64 grip,practice with bondo(polyphiller?) to make your grip look stock and then paint it.

[MARIOPARTY53]

I said I would clean it up, and Its a paintable substance

[Timmy]

well im glad your not being very obscure about this

here that pspkicks, its a "paintable substance"

that means it cleearly must be melted candle wax

no, chaulk lite,for Plastic and Painting

[rocky]

thats a really good idea,  I think you should paint it that would look cool and maybe add leds and usb ports

[MARIOPARTY53]

[PspKicks316]

HA that made me laugh,I like MPs better though,it may not look as...good,but it looks more comfortable.

[MARIOPARTY53]

, that, looks ugly, and, it doesnt look very comfortable

[Grottenschrat]

What is this white material you used?

And why don't you solder the N64 3D-stick to your D-Pad? the third Grip in the middle would be great, screw the GBA slot and do this :>

[MARIOPARTY53]

no, chaulk lite,for Plastic and Painting

read the topic a bit more next time

[PspKicks316]

No offense but it looks like crap,I LOVE the mod,all I'm saying is try making the edges more smooth,try sanding them down

[MARIOPARTY53]

I will later, but the cam makes it seem like bubbles around the edges, plus the paint has the sparkle color thing

[PspKicks316]

Oh ok,post pics when you do that,it looks great as-is but just around the edges...

[MARIOPARTY53]

go check now, i took it with bros cam, it still does need work, but yeah, part of it is the cam 

[Timmy]

just use some 800p sandpaper (or 1600) Wet/Dry

that'll fix it up nicely
