Friendly and awesome work and service

They were super friendly. Before ordering and after receiving the xstation mod installed, I had a lot of questions I asked them through WhatsApp and always got an answer quickly. The mod was done quickly and professionally. After service was also awesome. Definitely recommend them for any console mods!

Excellent service!

I ordered a couple of retro fighters defender controllers and one of the receivers had a non-working led. I received them on a monday here in the netherlands. When i told them it wasn't working properly i was sent a replacement receiver for free and it arrived 3 days later. Excellent service!

Don't update stock on website.

Item showed as in stock on their website. At no point during the order phase or confirmation did it mention it wasn't in stock. It was only after going in to look at my order page after ordering did I notice that it said "back order".

Unfortunately, that was a bug in the shop. For some reason, it allowed to order the item even though it was not in stock!
This happened after an update - so I'm now checking where this bug was implemented and will try to fix this ASAP!

I'm sorry about that, that shouldn't happen (and isn't normally the case - if our site says it's in stock, that's normally true!), but bugs can happen.

Perfect delivery

Shipped really fast to Italy. Extremely well packed! All merchandise (retro videogames) delivered in excellent conditions, without a scratch. I'm really satisfied.

Fast Shipment, and helping out the customer

I’ve changed my rating from 3 to 5. I thought this was a review for the whole package. But trustpilot is just for rating the store.

And ones again, I really recommend this store. Fast shipment, answering questions, helping me out when the product is not that great and offer to replace it because he believes in this product.

Old review:
The shipment to the Netherlands was really quick! The quality of this display for this price is not worth it. The GBC won’t turn on at the first 2 times, there is a blink/flicker every now and then in the display. The display is sometimes a bit ‘slow’, the display can’t handle Tetris DX all the time. And I’ve test is with 3 different GBC, with normal AA with the battery mod of McWill and my own battery mod. I won’t recommend this display. I do recommend this store!

Hi,
just a quick addition: To rate the product, please use the product page in the shop.
This is just purely the service for the shop, not the product :)

That said, I'm a bit surprised by the issues you have. I'm using the mod myself. Switching it on two times should only necessary without the USB mod. The reason for that is that the backlight needs more power - so the voltage breaks down on first switch-on and the GBC then thinks the battery is empty and switches itself off. Once the capacitors are full, it works reliably - which is the reason it works on second try :)

With the USB mod, this shouldn't happen. Additionally, the display shouldn't flicker or be slow. I'm playing mostly action games on my GBC (Mario 2, Pinball - Revenge of the Gator, Duck Tales, etc.) and never had an issue of the display being slow or even flickering. I also haven't heard anything like that from the a customer.

Did you try ONE mod in different GBCs? Maybe the mod is faulty - in which case I would suggest to replace it (on our costs, of course). As that clearly doesn't sound normal.

Please do contact us if you want to try a replacement :)
