    Default FS Modified Gameboy Advance Systems SALE!

    I've got 3 modified Gameboy Advance systems up for grabs. These have all been modified to use a Gameboy Advance SP backlit screen (otherwise known as the "101"). Each unit comes in an anti-static bag. They are then cased in a pair of Universal Game Cases that have been modified to fit the purpose. The bonus is that the case not only serves as packaging, but is a great way to store the unit or take on the go, since there's extra room inside that could easily store a few of your favorite games. Each case also comes with a silica packet so that you can store your GBA in its case feel secure knowing that it's protected from moisture. A fresh model sticker and unique serial number have been applied to the back of each. I've dubbed this product the "Gambeoy Advance Light +". Anywho, here they are!

    1) Orange SOLD!
    2) Black SOLD!
    3) Clear Red SOLD!















    I also have the kits for sale as well if you'd like to modify your own.

    Kits - $75.00 shipped




    If anyone wants a reference, here's my eBay ID.

    I have more of these to list, just need to snap some pics and get 'em up. This thread is NOT dead. Please do not lock/kill

    Just wanted to say nice work on these! They look outstanding, especially that translucent red one.

    I will definitely consider picking one of these up eventually to round out the GBA collection, just trying to budget for the holidays now.

    Thanks guys!

    The red one sold on another forum in about 15 minutes, and based on response from everyone else, that seems to be the top pick. I'll make sure to make more of the red available ASAP

    These are pretty cool. Are the screens as bright and brilliant as the GBA SP2's?

    Slightly dimmer.

    Brighter setting on both



    Low setting



    Basically, the low setting on the SP is as bright as the high setting on the normal GBA. This can be tweaked slightly via a potentiometer on the GBA, but I wouldn't screw with it too much. In my experience, at plenty bright enough for most any situation except for direct sunlight. It is still playable in direct sunlight, its just not as bright as the SP 101.

    I'd bite on the red one for $125, maybe even for $150. I think I'll pass on the black for now though and wait to see if you get more red.

    EDIT: I just noticed that's a custom paint job, so it'll be interesting to see the price if you do more of those.

    How hard is it to put a kit in? Do the kits come with instructions?

    Wow! I am very impressed with those GBA's! Love the sticker on the back "Made in Japan, Modified in the USA"-Like Nintendo themselves gave the go-ahead.

    It requires that the shell be modified fairly extensively on the inside to accommodate the screen and the switch, a handful of rather small solder points, and some careful nudging, folding, and a little hot melt glue. If you're comfortable with a Dremel, hobby knife, and soldering iron, then it shouldn't be too tricky.

    I'm putting the final touched on the manual. I went sorta WAY in depth, as if I were trying to instruct my mother to perform the mod :P So you can bank on it covering EVERYTHING that you'll need to know and then some

    Wow, very nice product! Somehow I missed seeing this when it was first posted. I'd be very interested if GBA was something I ever got into much. Anyway, just had to say what a nice looking package this is.

    I asked if he could front light my wonderswan crystal. Hopefully he can because its hard to play it in bed and lean over under my lamp.

    I wonder if he could color it too maybe a satin metallic red color.
