Making a custom GBA

Post by kingdedede117 »

I'm considering making a custom GBA (after an NESp), and I have a couple of questions.

1. How does the ratio for a GBA screen compare with most normal screens?

2. Any good 2" - 4" screens that you know about?

You cant use any other screens besides the GBA screen. The best thing you could do with it is make a different case. Which why would you want to?

You can't use other screens? Wow, that kinda sucks. I wanted to give it a lighted screen and make a custom case/button layout. If the screen can't be replaced, I guess I'd better forget it...

Sure you can use other screens. You just have to buy one of those TV-out carts from Lik-Sang.

there aren't any TV out carts. you have to open up your GBA and manually connect the LCD cable to the thing. it's about the size of a GBA, I think.
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

You can still make a lighted screen. You can either buy the arterburner kit or you can do something similar to the led mod.
Meh, I don't post much.
