- Is there any difference between the two different verison of the radica, can I use the first version (blue) and use the same diagram?
- To put a catridge slot on, do you just solder according to the diagram leaving the chip on the board and run it like you would before?

Well the fact that I can use the buttons/speakers is good.

Using the entire GBA would be a lot better than the alternative way I had planned (100x more bulky)

Could I make it use the GBA cartriges AND another system's?

Does anyone know how to make the LCD from the GBA work..

I'm completely new to this... but I have a broken GBA and it just seems easier to use the speakers, pad, buttons, and LCD from the GBA to make this than anything else.

The LCD is a ribbon cable connected to the board.
