Great product

For USB-C Mod for Sony PSP 1000, 2000, 3000 and E1000

I have damaged mine, causing it to not work properly, but the USB charging works very well. The extra wire included in the packed could be placed in a more visible manner, I used a spare piece of wire instead.

Great product at a great price

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 2DS (all models)

I wanted to USB-C mod my 2ds and my 2ds XL I have, but didn't feel like spending a bunch of money on a specialized kit. I also didn't want to buy a generic breakout board (even with the 5.1kOhm resistors to lock it at 5V charging) and spend several hours trying to get everything to fit properly. This kit was very generously priced and works great, both of my 2ds systems now charge without issue using a simple USB C cable.

The documentation the seller includes in the listing (PDF document) is also very helpful. Not over the top / too detailed, but certainly includes enough detail to instill confidence. I would recommend watching some YouTube videos or similar to get an idea of how to perform this particular mod just to lessen the chance of you accidentally damaging something.

Worked Well

For USB-C Mod for Sony PS Vita

Not sure why but I had issues installing fitment and all went well. Couldn’t get data wires hooked up so I just did power only. For some reason the fuse popped and took me a while to figure out because my meter wasn’t working properly. I can definitely recommend it just be careful.

Hard to install, but worth it !

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

Hard to install, but worth it ! Had to move the board manually because it doesn't fit with the 3ds XL. Soldering + and - in the center is impossible if you don't move a bit the board. I also had to glue the board on my 3ds because I lost the metal plate at (according to the installation guide) 1–3–5–6 on the mother board, so only 2 and 4 are soldered on my 3ds, but it works (but it's my fault (I think)). It's just a bit expensive for €12.

good

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

Have not installed it yet but it looks great. seller provides detailed instructions on how to install it.

Awesome product!

For Nintendo Wii: Power Board USB-C Mod

Installation was very easy and the mod works wonderfully! For the Wii U, the pin pitch of the console's motherboard and the power pins from the mod board is slightly smaller, so you might need to bend the pins together a bit to fit. Otherwise, there were no other fitment issues. Bravo, Giltesa!

An Excellent Mod!

For USB-C Mod for Game Boy Micro

The incredible design of the flex PCB allows for a clean, factory-looking installation that is backed by a fantastic installation guide. There is simply no better way to accomplish this mod, excellent work!

Joseph | Feb. 27, 2025

Absolutely wonderful seller and product

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

I ordered one of these about a month ago and installed it on my New 3DS XL, and it turned out fantastic! I wish I could add photos on here because the precision and effort going into making these boards isn’t justified by the photos.

I highly recommend this to anyone over all other USB-C models, as it’s highly documented, regularly updated, and the seller communication is very fast! Thank you Giltesa!

Nifty little mod! Straightforward install

For Nintendo Wii: Power Board USB-C Mod

This was such a fun little mod! Shipping was reasonably fast from Spain to US, well packaged. The installation itself requires some basic soldering knowledge, but is fairly straightforward and well documented with good photos. The mod works perfectly, and I've been running my Wii off my UGreen 65w GaN charger for the past week without issue!

Edit to add: Make sure to either trim the pins down or trim the Wii's shielding so they don't contact each other! I neglected to do this the first time and was quite confused as to why the mod worked great when testing but gave no power once the console was fully reassembled...turns out I hadn't trimmed the pins enough and the shielding was shorting the pins together. Definitely user error on my part, but I figured if I messed that up, someone else might too!

Just what ive been looking for

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

Was so glad i found this mod, my new 3ds xl drives me mad not being usb c for when playing away, however all the other mods lost the dock charging apart from this one, a little tricky to get the case to close nicely but i had a small grinder tool that fixed that, loved the aligning tool that made it so easy to get write first try. would buy mods again from you

Gentman | Jan. 29, 2025

Fantastic mod with highly detailed instructions

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

This USB-C mod fit my original 3DS and 3DS XL wonderfully! The board includes the two pull-down resistors connected to CC1 and CC2 that are required for USB-C to USB-C cables to function properly. Having a hot air rework station made the installation process easier. The components were also packaged very securely.

Thank you I love you

For USB-C connector for Nintendo DS Lite

I ordered this because I lost my DS charger and couldn’t just be normal about it. The pdf on the product page was super in depth with clear photos, making it incredibly beginner friendly. It made for a fun and straightforward afternoon project and it feels absolutely amazing to plug my DS into my phones charger and just have it charge up. It’s so cool. Shipping took a reasonable amount of time, it did have to cross oceans to find me, but the seller had the package in the hands of the postmaster in record time. I’ll be recommending this shop to all my buddies with older handhelds!

George | Nov. 24, 2024

Worked Perfectly!

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

Instructions were clear and the adapter works great! Now I don't have to be paranoid about losing my AC adapter :D

Jeremy | Nov. 21, 2024

Awesome mod

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

This mod is great,
simple and easy.. even those learning to solder and wanting a little challenge could do it

Joseph | Oct. 27, 2024

Semi difficult install but flawless product

For USB-C Mod for Sony PSP Go

The removal of the original port was as easy as removing every other Port from a game system, Small pain in the ass. However, once you have it removed the install, it's pretty easy. I did have a small amount of trouble with the data lines but once you get them set right it works flawlessly. It arrived very quickly and I'm very happy with my purchase. I just should have bought one of the GameCube USBC power plugs as well. I did my PSPs and totally forgot the GameCube lol

Joseph | Oct. 27, 2024

Easy install & Works flawless

For USB-C Mod for Sony PS Vita Slim

I wasn't aware of the out of country usps rules requiring signature, and didn't know it even arrived. However that's no fault of the seller it's on behalf of the shipping industry..

The install was super easy, The removal of the micro port was as all removal is so so.. But it looks great. It works even better. It arrived in a reasonable time. Very happy with my purchase.

Daniel | Oct. 14, 2024

Great Product, easily the best GC USB C Solution

For Nintendo GameCube: Power Board USB-C Kit

Easy to install, with a 3D printed bracket of excellent quality. Really love the extra fan header - makes it easy to install a more capable case fan. PCB is high quality, and it's hard to tell that the GC didn't come stock with USB C power when it's all installed; I really couldn't be more pleased!

Jeremy | Oct. 11, 2024

Awesome kit

For USB-C Mod for Sony PS Vita Slim

Was fun to install, the wrap around ribbon cable is genius. The hole definitely was the hard part. I wicked the anchor point holes on the motherboard clean and made sure to flood the solder to the other side

Benjamin | Sept. 12, 2024

Works perfectly

For USB-C Mod for Super Nintendo

Bought this for a restoration I was doing that included a shell and some other bits. Installed easily, worked as advertised and makes not needing the Nintendo power supply a game changer.

Benjamin | Sept. 12, 2024

Works like a charm!

For Nintendo GameCube: Power Board USB-C Kit

Bought two. Installed two. No problems whatsoever. Fit perfectly with the printed fan shrouds I used for the xs-1. Will buy again.

Brendon | July 14, 2024

Very simple and easy

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

I bought this mod for my original 3ds and was not disappointed. Very simple to do with basic soldering experience. If you are trying out this mod, be careful when filing away at the plastic. You have to be careful to get it perfectly fit.

Carl | July 3, 2024

Never received item.

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

Item shows shipped but nothing ever happened. Be careful with ordering. Shipper didn’t confirm receipt and it looks like they didn’t ship it correctly.

Response from The giltesa's shop | July 3, 2024

I cannot know your order number just by your first name, Carl. In any case, if there's any issue with the shipment or product, the best thing to do is to contact me so that I can provide proper support. Since I don’t know who you are, I can’t check the status of the shipment, whether it was attempted to be delivered and you weren't there, if it was at the office waiting to be picked up, if it was returned to me, if it got lost, if I've opened an investigation claim on the shipment, if I've issued you a refund, etc. As you can see, there are many things that can be checked before writing a bad review, and it’s a shame you didn’t follow the correct procedure to resolve the issues.

If you are from the United States, you will see in the Tindie shipping information that the tracking numbers don’t work with USPS for all states, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been shipped, left the country of origin, entered the destination country, attempted to be delivered, etc. That’s why it’s important to request support properly to investigate what might have happened. I handle about 150 shipments a month, so it's normal for some shipments to be delayed or lost. If it happened to you, it’s simply bad luck, but again, there is always a solution.

Great! Now I can recharge my DS anywhere!

For USB-C connector for Nintendo DS Lite

Years ago I bought half a dozen different USB-C ports, and none of them were quite right. This one fit perfectly.

Soldering it in was easy enough, could be tricky if it's your first time soldering. I have zero recollection of de-soldering the USB-C port, too long ago.

Quinn | April 18, 2024

Did not line up with solder points

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

The tool did not line up the contacts properly and ended up breaking halfway through leaving stray plastic inside the port.
My 3ds' motherboard is fried

Response from The giltesa's shop | April 18, 2024

Hello,

If you wish, you can open a ticket regarding your order, from there you will be able to attach images of your installation and I will try to help as much as possible. Your 3DS shouldn't be fried unless there has been some short circuit, and if so, most likely only the protection fuse has been affected.

Perhaps you missed a step from the installation guide since you are the first customer to encounter problems after more than 600 units sold.

Kind regards,
giltesa

Very Easy to Install

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 2DS (all models)

I've done USB-C mods on DS Lite, 3DS XL, NN3DS XL and NN2DS XL. All 3DS family mods were from this Giltesa store and the NN2DS XL was the easiest one to do.
The documentation is only for the original 2DS but using the iFixit tear down is all you need. Make sure you do because there are certain ribbon connectors that will break if you open them. Once opened, they WILL NOT close again.

There was an issue with the website not correctly showing stock numbers and the store owner replied and got it resolved the same day. Definitely recommend this mod and this store.

Andrew | Feb. 4, 2024

Great Mod

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

This mod is easy to install and only requires basic soldering skills. The bracket to fill the gap is also a nice touch, it fits great and looks much better than having a hole (I wish the 2DS mod came with one too).

Make sure you follow instructions correctly because there are ribbon cable connectors that must not be opened. Once you open them they WILL NOT close again and the 3DS will not turn on. The guide does a great job showing these specific connectors.

Nathan | Feb. 2, 2024

Works well

For USB-C Mod for Game Boy Advance (Audio supported)

Works well, install was easy and straightforward. Pads lined up, the spacer went in as it should.

Thanks.

Juan | Jan. 27, 2024

Amazing mod for the 3ds systems

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

Its such an easy fix for an older system to bring it back to life I really love the item of being able to add type c to an older system making it easier to charge everything about the transaction was amazing as well.

Sergey | Oct. 27, 2023

Easy mod with compherensive instruction

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

I liked everything about this mod. It's well thought out, works well and easy to do (except reconnecting the ribbon cables, which is a bit tricky). The packaging is minimalist and neat.
I had some issues with the bottom shell bulging after installation, so I wrote an email to giltesa and they responded very fast on the same day and provided tips regarding removing some of the plastic in the area, which helped. It's bulging a bit still but it's good enough.
I'm happy with the end result. I recommend it.

Thomas | Aug. 24, 2023

Simple and efficient

For USB-C Mod for Game Boy Advance (Audio supported)

Simple to install if you have a few skills in soldering, and works perfectly. The size is perfect, and the contacts are perfecly placed so you don't have to think about what to solder where

Xun | Aug. 16, 2023

The best type C kit for 3DS

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

Installed on my 2 consoles and both works perfectly. Needed meticulous soldering/filing/polishing techniques, but all the efforts pay off.

Benjamin | July 5, 2023

Works great for the original 3ds

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

Had to remove more of the shell but it works fine. Great little board. Would definitely buy again if needed, especially since parts for the original are so scarce.

Brian | June 10, 2023

Worked perfectly!

For USB-C Mod for Nintendo 3DS (all models)

Worked perfectly! Thank you! Installation was relatively easy on the new 3DS XL, just go slowly! One re-assembly tip: the top-lcd ribbon cable (the right angle connector of the 2 that connects to the back of the motherboard) is GOLD SIDE TOWARDS THE PCB. The rest of the ribbon cables are obvious which direction they go. This was super annoying to fix, since you basically have to completely disassemble to access it.

EDIT: I've now installed this mod in an new3DS XL, new3DS LL, and a regular-sized new3ds. All went smoothly!
