I was just wondering has anyone ever put the guts of a sp into a original gb to give a new system some old school Flavor!

So was I.. except I was busy playing those games on my GBA (original). O_O

Totally pointless.. but yes. The game did look a bit nicer on the GBA, and they had the (totally useless) extra shop. ^_^

I smashed up my old GBA not too long ago. With a baseball bat, cuz the front screen had come off and the LCD screen had cracked. Plus it was the pink one, which I did not want btw. I ordered a clear blue one for some site, but they didn't have one in stock so they sent a pink one. So yeah, I had an SP too, with I traded in with other things to get the DS Lite.

Its more fun if you dont put the fire out!

it is fun to not let the fire out.
i like watching the fire go out itself.
i only have the bucket only as a safety precaution.

kcajblue
November 4th, 2006, 06:28

hey about that afterburner, it works great i have it for my original gba tv tuner, it eats up alot of batteries though about 4 for the tuner and 2 for the gba + the afterburner makes it waste more batteries. U get about 2hours atleast of okay quality tv if u get a good signal out in the woods lol.

hey and that gb light is cool my friend had the gold one.

ps. do u know where i can get a original battery cover for my gbpocket also im looking for a screen since mines pretty scratched

Edit: hey I found this clip on youtube of The GameBoy ATAPI CD Player....... is that really possible?WTF sounds kinda fake cuz the quality is too good.

Edit: found out its real sounds like a really great nintendo mod :) if u have a spare NES u can mod it and install the CD drive to it so that it then connects to ur GB or GB pocket dunno if the GBcolor or adv works but this sounds like a very cool stereo kinda thing to make it involves a Z80 program and using a gb cartrige to connect to the pin connector

sry if this is old news but just sounds like a great mod and ive never heard of it ;D
