1st step : Speed modeling, creating the Sheikah Slate using 3ds Max

2nd step : Printing 3D model

Once the model done, we print it in 4 parts.

3rd step : Painting the Sheikah Slate

Here are links to print you own :

void Awake() {
        if (!GameSettings.hasLaunched)
        {
            GameSettings.hasLaunched = true;
            if (PlayerPrefs.GetString("last_launch", "") == "")
            {
                // first launch
                PlayerPrefs.SetString("last_launch", DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString());
                PlayerPrefs.SetInt("number_of_launch", 1);
            }
            else
            {
                if (PlayerPrefs.GetString("last_launch", "") != DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString())
                {
                    GameSettings.newDay = true;
                    PlayerPrefs.SetInt("number_of_launch", PlayerPrefs.GetInt("number_of_launch") + 1);
                }
                PlayerPrefs.SetString("last_launch", DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString());
            }
            PlayerPrefs.Save();
        }
}

if (GameSettings.newDay && PlayerPrefs.GetInt("number_of_launch") > 3)
{
	GameSettings.newDay = false;
	GameSettings.coins += 10;
	PlayerPrefs.SetInt("coins", GameSettings.coins);
	PlayerPrefs.Save();
	Snowman.instance.message("+ 10 coin");
}

After years of debugging with cable I decided to find another method since I have only one USB-C cable with my phone (Mi-4c).

Here’s how I push my Unity game to my phone, this can be used by any other Android developement platform.

1 – Download WiFi ADB

“WiFi ADB – Debug Over Air”
It requires root but you can find other that don’t require it (I don’t try other apps).

2 – Connect ADB to your phone

Note that you need WiFi enabled on your smartphone and your PC needs to be in the same network as well.

Launch the command line “adb connect 192.168.X.X:5555” in your batch/powershell or use this script :

$ip = Read-Host "End of IP ?"
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
$cmd = ".\adb connect 192.168.1." + $ip + ":5555"
Write-Debug $cmd
Invoke-Expression $cmd
Pause

Note : You may need to change the beggining of the IP in the script

connectADB.ps1

Then Right click/Run with PowerShell

3 – Enjoy !

You can push your games using ADB

If you have time you can write your own scanner to find the good IP or use a fixed IP Address for your smartphone setted by MAC or any other method in your router for example.

Feel free to improve the script

Good coding

Then a second image appeared on Reddit by an unknown source :

You can noticed that on both images, an adhesive is present on the console.

At first, David here at Noname Games (Idriss2Dev on Reddit) thinked about making a video with a 3d printed version of the fake in which removing the adhesive, the word “FAKE” would have been discovered behind. So that a new image (By Frank Sandqvist) was released we decided to make reveal video that it was a fake.

Video:

After it was revealed as fake, the guy who created the 2nd fake made a making of:

Funny reactions then appeared:

At first we didn’t thought that much reactions. Initially the console would have been put on David’s DeviantArt.

Render of the fake :
