Decided to finally try out the Arcade Stick I bought a year ago. Funny enough, except for Jet Set Radio, every other game (House Of The Dead 2, Quake 3, Shadow Man, Crazy Taxi) worked with it.

Only Jet Set Radio didn't let me use any other button than A, which is jump.

In the Menus all buttons ...

Seeing as it is a seperate unit from the GC, could it be possible that with a slight modifcation of the AV Signal Out and its own external power supply, it wouldn't need the Gamecube to be used on a TV?

Haven't got the time really to play my GBA on the go anymore, so playing it like a seperate ...

Well, I did give up to actually do this mod after I came across this:

It's called the Dingoo A320, costs around 80 bucks, but does a lot more than an NDS.
Ok, it doesn't have a touchscreen, but that's what I didn't want in the ...

Thank you for the reply, I'll go to work then.

If I remove the C-Stick and will cut off the rumble, will it still work or will that mess with the console/gameplay?

(Currently working on a miniature Ikaruga Arcade Cabinet for my cousin and only need the Control Stick, Y-, A- and B-Button.)

That would be great, thanks!

That;s what I don't like about this place sometimes. Nobody is concerned with giving information, they just want to try and convince you not to follow through with a project. :P

Well, I asked them for help, not the other way around. They are not obligated to, but they do respond more kindly than ...

One more thing: Why not just use it as a DS, too? The DS is a REALLY nice system, tons of sweet games, and all manner of homebrew and emulators if you get a flashcart ($10). You can also use them to play backup copies of your games.

I'm somebody who's got a huge issue with the whole play-at-two ...

Two tips:

If you do end up doing this, remove the touchscreen layer for greater clarity, and get a normal screen cover.

Will do. There's not much use for it after this mod anyway.

Also, why not get one of those neat backlit GBA SPs? They are brighter than the DS phat, the same as a DS Lite or ...

Wow. Sounds like I won't have to use any Homebrew Software then, that's great! Thanks for your response!

A Setting? Is there an Option Menu in which this can be configured?

I'll PM him then, thanks for that. And the GBA Games wil be displayed on the bottom screen?

You could just buy a micro. :D

That's it, that's exactly my problem. I'm somebody who has a huge problem with that *$%&ing tiny screen. I'm already short-sighted and wear glasses, don't need to strain my eyes any further.


What you are wanting to make is a Landscape backlit GBA correct? If so ...

The Concept of this Project will be that I want to downgrade a Nintendo DS into a Gameboy Advance that won't use the Top Screen.

I know, that's why it is called Insane NDS-to-GBA Project.

But, before this crazy attempt gets ...

Sorry, but all I have is a Third-Party MemoryCard.
