Transparent UMD ring mod by Everett (https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=2455.0)
I used hot glue because its temporarily and can be removed easily, but you can use super glue for a more permanent solution. I may have used an excess amount of hot glue so a small amount can do

DD: Read the description, its the mod done by everett, dont know if you were here when he was
but you still didn't do it the same way 4dP, he actually dremelled out 2mm perspex to the same size as the steel ring on the psp in a torus shape so he could INSERT it in the center, im sorry but the way you did it was very inaccurite just randomly sticking the circle anywhere, also the material looks very flimsy, like im surprised hotglue didn't melt a hole through it :fear:
You dont have to change the video if you dont want to but....yeah.....the above points were pretty obvious to me
POST DISCLAIMER
This is not an act of arrogance, it is constructive criticism
