If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.
GAAA AIM TALK BAD! please use real english the original GBA can't be backlit, you can find that out by searching. it can be front lit though so you might be able to use you camcorder light if it will fit in front of the screen if you can power it right (those need high voltage)
My bad. I just naturally assumed anything that lit a screen inside something less than an inch thick had to be lit from the back. Doesn't seem like there's much room for the afterburner to light a screen front the front while remaining inside the case...
