What to do with an old GBA...

[ReRuss]

I got one of the old "limited edition" platinum GBAs and I never use it , yet I have the SuperCardSD (which apparently works better for DS)

I'm wondering if I could possibly mod it somehow to make it a lil better , maybe a backlight , but from what I hear it has this screen that would cause a glare , but would one of those screen protectors which seen to have this glareproof look work with a backlight mod?

Or possibly some other mod that may be useful?

The only way you'll get a backlight in it is to steal a screen from an SP2.
There's plenty of FRONTLIGHT mods, though.


Anyways, the screen protector is only an issue with external lights. Mod implies internal, so no worries.

Are the screensizes from the sp and the orginal gba even the same size?

I know that the shapes of both screens are different.

Ummm, what?
They're both rectangles. With identical resolutions.


As I understand things, the SP screens are the exact same size as the GBA screens.
The MICRO screens, of course, are much smaller.

I DON'T know that the screens are even remotely interchangable, though.

Well, it sure would be awesome. I love the way the old GBA feels in my hands, I like it better than any newer handheld actually.

Crap, I meant to say the borders around the screens are different. But that shouldn't be a big problem though.
