My GBA SP's right trigger died on me a whole back and yesterday my Saturn's right trigger died too I also have a friend who had the same happen to his DS lite. I assume it has to do with it being the one pressed the most out of the trigger buttons and all those 3 things having the same type of clicky buttons.
Anyone fix these before or have any suggestions?

Re: Fixing those clicky shoulder buttons
take apart an old VCR or something else that has the same kinda clicky buttons and desolder them then put em in the saturn pad. i dunno about the SP but i think it uses the same kinda button too. i had to do this with my saturn lightgun, the trigger was fucked so i changed the button and it's good as new. (im gonna microswitch mod it later on though)Pullmyfinger wrote:My GBA SP's right trigger died on me a whole back and yesterday my Saturn's right trigger died too I also have a friend who had the same happen to his DS lite.

I just started playing my DS lite, I've only played GBA games (which is what I have) so far. Should I be worried about damaging my R button and is there anything to keep in mind to avoid it?
Something else, not so related, should I get a screen protector for the touch screen before I start using it with the stylus (I haven't touched it yet, as I say I'm playing GBA only for now - and on the top screen, it seems better indicated if you're only using one screen to use the top one, a la GBA SP).

It was probably dirt or something trapped inside, I doubt there is a 100% sure way to avoid that happening, just don't play with dirty hands, both my GBA SP and Saturn controller came second-hand, so I don't know exctly what they've been through.
About the DS, get the screen protectors, mine are pelican brand and cost around $5 at gamestop, if you play lots of games like elite beat agents, bomberman land or trauma center, you are sure to scratch it sooner or later. As for which screen to use, I don't think it really matters, just use the one that suits you best, I only play GBA games on my SP because of the screen size.

I also recommend getting a screen protector. They're only about $6.00 (after taxes) and worth every penny. Playing KirbyCanvas Curse and the Super Mario 64 DS mini games can end up scratching your screen.devilmyarse wrote:again i highly recomend gettin a screen protector. For the amount they cost its better to be safe than sorry!
Ok I guess I'll get the screen protector before playing a stylus game.
Is there anything else you guys advise? There are some packs that have a protector and other junk that may actually be useful. I think the 2 stylus that came with my DS will be more than enough (it isn't really the sort of stuff that gets worn after a while, is it?)... I also have some improvised "pouches" to carry it on (usually a bit of bubble wrap, enough for the casing not to get scratched when I put it in my pocket or my backpack).
