Good job! This is not an easy feat for an amateur!
- Thanks! I've built a MGBC, a DMGC, a Funny playing GBA so I have some experience (though very much still an amateur).
  
  Did you use a heat gun to get it off?
How the fuck did you even begin to solder that?!? That's incredible
- Thanks! Getting them off was probably harder than soldering them on. It took quite a bit of heat to melt the existing solder. After that, line up the pins and tac it in place and use drag soldering with plenty of flux.
