In this video I'm taking an old Game Boy Advanced SP and making it look as good as we can without replacing the shell. This Game Boy Advance SP is in decent shape considering it was released in 2003. In a future video It will get a shell swap and also an IPS/usb-c upgrade.
But for now let's get it looking better!
Here's my Gridfinity Parts Trays if your interested.

Gate Keeper is a new security program in OSX 10.8, 10.9, and 10.10 that only allows the install of verified software made either by apple or the developers that publish to the app store.
Disabling this is very easy. I will show you 2 ways to do it the first is a one time install and the second is to permanently disable it.
This is my how to video for soldering the mechanism inside the ultimate useless machine by frivolous engineering. this took me a total of 30 min and on a 1 to 10 difficulty scale it would be about a 4.

****If anyone runs into the problem with Windows 7 forcing the fat32format.exe to have a file folder on C:\ before it would put the actual .exe file on the C:\ thus making the cmd not able to read it since it's C:\fat32format\fat32format.exe
***To solve this, simply click and drag the fat32format.exe file and drag it straight to the C:\ drive, then follow vid.

All you need to do this is a system that already has 10.7-10.10 on it because as part of your original install it created a recovery partition and that is what we will be using.
REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR DATA! Following this tutorial will wipe your hard drive clean and you will loose all your data YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
IF YOU GET "THE ITEM IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE"
The reason you get this message is YOUR apple id is not associated to an apple operating system.
In the 4 choices you get click "GET HELP ONLINE" This opens Safari.
Click icloud and sign in with your apple id.
Now you can go back to installing screen and the downloading will finally work because you have now shown apple id you've logged in from your computer.
DO Not use someone else's apple id. You'll get all their apps.
