Building a Modern Ultimate Gameboy Advance!

[@Stburrell93]

I added wireless charging to mine. Great looking build!

[@disuko]

sick build!

[@chubyduck]

Thanks for doing this build. I have 2 purple GBAs. One of them I've been wanting to mod and this video gave me the inspiration to start that project. I'm going to try and keep the original shell if possible because I love the purple but want to add a backlite screen and rechargeable battery. Going to do a little research to see what parts I need to order.

[@adamkane7513]

Good luck. I thought about it but ended up just buying the purple *Anbernic RG351P* instead.

[@eddarksoul5]

i'm thinking about doing the same

[@LavaCakes-g1g]

Yeah we all know how that went… don’t be cheap save yourself the hours of cutting and scraping the original shell to get the screen to fit. And even then once you’re done that plastic is 20 plus years old and extremely brittle… just save yourself the headache and the trouble and pay 25 dollars for a brand new Precut shell like any person with common sense does 🥲😂😂😂

[@karlalares8322]

Cool, love the look and the usbc charging port, very convenient as you can find those type of chargers anywhere 😊❤ great mod! 👏👏🥳

Nice. Where can we get the same shell?

[@seby440]

Who makes the crystal clear color shells for the n64 and the switch lite? That way I can have color matching shells with the gba and gba sp.

Where can i buy this amazing shell ?

[@walterwinter4184]

Love the videos

[@dedpxl]

1:30 how did you get it working though. it's edited out and he doesn't explain what happened.

[@retrostashrepairs]

It just needed cleaning on the cartridge reader. And yes I say it needs cleaning at 1:40.

[@retrostashrepairs]

I didnt specifically say the cartridge reader needed cleaning. But usually when games dont read its either the game or the cartridge reader that needs cleaning ")

[@Corey-mq1kr]

Idk about the stickers personally. Not all 3. They throw off the feung shuay(idk how to spell that) lol

[@travismoore7849]

why not use 2800mah high quick aa batteries?

[@craigharris9591]

How much do you charge for something like this?? I would love to buy a specialty GBA !!

[@retrostashrepairs]

Depends, not too much. You could msg me on instagram ")

[@ThatRetroRepairKid23]

Unfortunately I can't get any thing do to how much it's out if my budget but if I get the funds I'm going to but these!

thnks trainer tips for the video

[@jamesprimmer355]

Why does everyone make this look so easy? I'm too dumb for this shit. I'd totally give someone $50 to do this for me lmao.

[@retrostashrepairs]

Lol well with practice bro. Its not easy for anyone first few times. I do accept commissions btw ")

[@therealwildace2025]

I've been thinking about fixing and upgrading my old Game boy advance but I don't know were to start not to mention the L and R buttons stopped working and I don't know if it can be fixed. Any Idea?

[@LakesidePressureWashingMI]

Fixable but better be really dang good at soldering not an easy fix at all. If your wanting to sell it Lmk.

[@therealwildace2025]

@@LakesidePressureWashingMI don't intend to sell it as It has sentimental value to me not to mention I've been doing research and planning to learn how to fix it myself

[@ZialShade]

I would recommend starting with a drop in IPS screen. A lot of them have touch pads so you can change the brightness without soldering anything if you're worried about that. But I would recommend picking up soldering as a skill using some practice boards that you can buy online because it opens up your possibilities! For your L and R buttons, it could just be that they're dirty and maybe cleaning with isopropyl alcohol will help.

[@MrMonoYT]

Mustn't the foam come between the glass lens and the screen?

[@chriswinters-ca]

Did you read your comment before posting? Why would the foam sit in between the glass lens and the LCD panel? How would you even play your games with a foam pad obscuring your view of the screen? Games are a lot more fun when you can actually see them. The foam pad isn't strictly necessary but it prevents any shorts by keeping any solder points or contacts on the board from touching the metal back plate of the LCD and also helps cushion the board a bit from accidental drops so that's why it's placed in between the back of the LCD and the board.

[@MrMonoYT]

@@chriswinters-ca Wow, forgot about this comment..... I was confusing the foam with the gasket thingy, but thanks for your reply. Foam is in the right place 👍🏻

[@benzeyne99]

It looked like the display is sitting in there loosely with no adhesive, not sure how he managed to keep it centered at the end there if it was just sitting loose in the shell. It seems the shell might just be perfectly sized for that display, I would still be worried about the display jiggling around though.
