DS screen in GBA

Since they both use digital screens, would it be possible to put a DS screen in a GBA or GBA SP? It would be nice to be able to play all Gameboy games on the DS's nice backlit screen.

There's a mod out there for backlighting a horizontal GBA:

Why would you rip apart a $100 DS just to get its screen?

Someone please lock this.

not sure if this is serious or not, but I'll assume it is.

Digital is proprietary, not like a composite signal. Lynx, GBA, GBC, calculator... they're all digital. It's possible that they're compatible, but I really doubt it.

Why bother with a DS or a second system. Either replace your GBA with an SP or get the afterburner mod. Look at it this way: less pain-in-the-@$$ Nintendo screws to deal with!

Dude, the SP is NOT back-lit. It is front-lit. Play a GBA game on the SP. Then play it on the DS. The DS's screen will have much better quality.

Hey, I've got nothing better to waste my money on.
And the afterburner is not a backlight it's a frontlight.

It's STILL better than no lighting!

But still, I already have an SP. I just want to give it a better quality screen.

your right the gba is front lit but its still lit quality is about the same in my opionion your not going to find a how to cause onley you want to do it but perhaps its possiple if so your going to have to figure it out I wish you good luck with your destroying expencive electronics to give a bareley notasable inprovement to a gba/ april fools joke

Crap. I'm wrong again! Maybe I should make a trademark "useless thread" about being wrong.
