    Default Gameboy Advance SP - headphone/charger splitter?

    Is there an adapter for the SP that lets you listen on headphones AND charge at the same time? If I'm playing quietly at night I'd like to do this (to save the battery).

    Yes, there is. I have at least one. I think that it probably came with a 3rd party charger originally, though I got it in some bundle or another over the years.

    Yes, there is one made by Madcatz. Here's a picture of it:



    One thing about this: the audio quality this thing produces is worse than that of a GBA or a GB micro. I don't know if this is caused by the GBA SP or the adapter. I've never used a first-party headphone adapter before.

    The last time I looked for one of these a couple of weeks ago, the only one I could find was around twenty bucks. I found http://www.quickerbuy.com/products/g...pter-599685308 just now, but that item is expired.

    It's also at http://www.goldenshop.com.hk/AI-trad/gba/sp_2in1con.htm , but that looks kind of sketchy.

    Thanks all - I found this one:

    Looks like cheap crap but I might just get it anyway, unless somebody can recommend a good one.

    If I can locate it, I can probably send you mine (just the adapter thingy) for shipping or so. Or if you have a spare wall charger, I happen to need one right now so we could do a trade.

    If you're going to order one, do you think you could please order a second one? They only ship Priority to Canada, and I'm sure we could work out something cheaper. PM me if you're interested.

    Can anyone at least figure out which Mad Catz kit might have included this thing? It's not the Starter Kit SP, nor does it appear that it was sold separately.

    EDIT: Ahh, it's the Macro Kit! Unfortunately no one is selling one.

    Yep, I ended getting that one on Ebay for pretty cheap, not quite a year ago. Does the job.
    Though, wiggy's modded model GBA would be the best
