My bf bought a gba sp at a flee market for 20 US dollars. I told him maybe he shouldn't, but go ahead if you want to. When he got home, it turned out to be a AGS 101 and fully working! BEST FIND I ever seen at a flee market. Good job mate! 👍
@angelac.e.589
@angelac.e.589 4 жыл бұрын
It didn't come with a charger, and the battery was drained so we couldn't test it. He would have to buy it and take it home to test it. If it didn't work my bf couldn't just return it easily because he lives on the other side of the state, so he was lucky enough to even get his mom to drive him down to hang out that day. We also didn't know it was ags 101 while we were there, and he literally said "I already have a lot of GBAs" while contemplating to buy it. So I was just letting him know the risk, but I wasn't going to stop him, and I didn't, and turned out to be a great deal!

I never grew up with a game boi but a few years ago, my aunt gave me a MINT CONDITION black game boy advance sp, idk if it was the 001 or the 101 cus that was the for time I ever heard of a game boy, to this day I cannot remember what happened to it its like it dissapeared one day, on the other hand we have a truckload of boxes in our garage so maybe it's in there? I swear if I happen to somehow find it I will scream cus I recently just paid $100 for a game boy advance sp 001 version, for some reason I just started to want to collect game boy stuff since 3 weeks ago Edit: if you want to see what it looks like I literally just posted a vid on it

This video gave me the confidence to upgrade my very own GBA SP to an IPS screen. I’ve never soldered before in my life but after a couple minor quirks I managed to do it without damaging the original board. And the brightness works great! Idk if it’s just me but I noticed my original game boy and game boy color games look fantastic where the GBA games look a bit stretched. Probably the bigger screen but I mostly play GB Color and older games.

I would love to buy one of these! Preferably already made. I miss my GBA... I'm really sad that it had to brick itself. Some hardware modifications (upgrades) that I would love to make to a GBA, if I had the skill, money, tools and patience: - A better battery (one that has higher capacity, better cycle life, etc...) - Mechanical button switches, instead of membrane (faster response and better tactile feedback.) - A better D-Pad. - Buttons with slightly different shapes so that it's easier for my thumb to tell which is which. - A texture on the case that makes it easier (and more satisfying) to hold. - A high quality screen protector, with an anti-reflective / anti-glare finish. - Addition of an IR port for older GB/GBC games that need it. - Addition of a proper headphone jack. - Adjusting the oscillator for the screen so that it runs at a true 60 Hz (or better yet, so that it runs at a refresh rate far higher than whatever framerate the game is actually running at, that way input latency and screen tearing are both kept to a minimum.) - Replacing the volume slider with a GBC-style volume wheel. - Replacing the power switch with one that can't get stuck in an in-between position. More ambitious upgrades that are also on my bucket list: - Replacing the main RAM in the system with much faster SRAM (256 kilobyte SRAM chips shouldn't be too difficult to get these days). - Replacing the ARM and GB-Z80 CPUs with much faster binary-compatible substitutes. - Replacing the BIOS chip with one that contains significantly optimized code. - Running the hardware at a significantly lower voltage (for example, 1.1v) instead of 3.3v or 5v (for GBA/GBC respectively) to improve battery life. A buck-boost converter or other voltage regulation system would also be used so that it could still safely interface with cartridges. - A custom PCB with extensive optimization of the various circuit traces, and increased resistance to damaging things like moisture.

Also, the IPS appears to be double the resolution which may seem better than the 101 but in person, it really isn’t. It results in an image with heavier aliasing, if that makes any sense. I’ve just modded mine with this display but will probably sell it for an AGS-101. I’m willing to sacrifice the better viewing angles and colours for the correct resolution.

Most AGS-001 shells crack that easily, as they are made from a very brittle plastic (same as gen 1 NDS).

Hey Elliot, I've watched quite a few videos from you and I decided to try to mod my GBA SP as well. I've done the mod highlighted in this video, and it went quite well as my first mod (my latest solder dates back in 2004, in "techno" class when I was 11). Next I'll try to install a jack port as you did, it's a tad bit harder though. Really like your channel, brings back so many memories from my childhood with every old-school gameboy or console your repair/mod. Thanks a lot for the videos, like many people I feel quite bored in these weird covid times and you've given me a lot of inspiration to get into modding and it's thrilling. Love getting back to my childhood and teenage games on these modernized consoles. Keep doing what you do, cheers from France.

I think u should be able to built in new speakers I think I actually saw a few getting troughn out there with the exact same size fit. So u might be in luck here I can't give u any source currently cuz it's been a while since I saw some or heard of them but there videos here I think wich are showing these mods.

@@WildVoltorb To be fair, the original Game Boy Advance DID have a headphone jack, but when the GBA SP was released the headphone jack was removed. I'm guessing this was done because of the smaller form factor of the GBA SP compared to the original, but it'd still be nice to have a headphone jack port in the GBA SP itself. (There are accessories that let you use the EXT. 2 port for a headphone adapter, but EXT. 2 is also used for charging meaning you can't use the charging and headphone at the same time, and it also blocks off access for the GBA wireless adapter which takes up all of the space on the back)

I just finished putting a new shell on my SP - if I saw this video earlier, I probably would have added a new screen too! But taking apart the screen area was such a pain that I don't want to do it again - especially since it's near impossible to do without damaging the little rubber screw covers. Maybe I'll get another SP and start a 2nd project...

1st of all, I grew up on GBC. 2nd of all, for the time, the lighting for the GBA SP wasn't awful. Considering the sad light that plugged into the GBC, the GBA SP did phenomenally well. And I still play mine, 80 minutes battery life and all, lol. But for a 13 year old console with internal battery, I'd say its doing alright. Much better than a modern phone
