(Not mine) how do people make these teardown shadowboxes? Like I know "take the console apart" but how do you mount everything? Is it glued down to something?

Question about collecting old game console
So I’ve been thinking about this for a bit, but I really want to start buying older systems that I didn’t get chance to actually grow up with (NG4, GBA, SNES, etc.). I know with certain older consoles there can be a lot of versions or editions of said console that don’t hold up as well (I specifically know about the 2 different versions of the GBA SP’s). So in general, are there any things I should be looking out for whether I’m shopping online or at a local game store? This could apply for basically any video game console really

Zelda Collector's Edition with El Gato Video capture
Hey! Sorry if this is not the correct sub but I figured I should ask anyway.I just hooked up my gamecube to my original el gato video capture and as soon as it boots it goes into a black screen. Every other game works fine btw. Is it because it's limited to 60 Hz? And is there a way to make it work? I live in PAL region btw

Some of my rare/expensive titles.
Picked up a lot of these for relatively cheap. Never see Manifold Garden come up for sale much though, how big was that release?
