    Anybody else jumped onto the Gameboy Advance modding bandwagon?

    Long story short - A lot of people prefer the look and ergonomics of the original Gameboy Advance over the GBA SP. But the original GBA had an absolutely terrible, non-lit screen.

    So what people do is track down a GBA SP (specifically, AGS-101 model because the screen is backlit) and transfer the screen into a classic GBA. For bonus points, add a rechargable battery pack and voila. Best of both GBA models.

    I have an AGS-101 and just need to get settled into my new house before I
    track down a GBA and try the mod myself.

    Oh I remember buying a GBA and trying to see that screen. I remember there wer allsorts of lights you could buy to attach to it. Must be pretty difficult to aquire a GBA these days.
