Modding the Game Boy Advance of My Dreams!
Ғылым және технология
Something different for me! I wanted to try my hand at one of the many options that exist today for making modifications to an old handheld video game system. In this case I decided to use the Laminated IPS 3.0 screen made by funnyplaying.com, along with a new shell designed to work with it, and a USB-C battery upgrade. This was a fun project and I couldn't be happier with the result!

as a dude that also loves pink.. YOU CAN NEVER OVERDUE IT!
Grey is the complimentary color to pink. No wonder it looks great. Very nice work. I love seeing old systems revived to today‘s standards.
I love to watch you do cleaning projects, but I really enjoyed watching this modification video. You do superb work.😊

Thanks so much! 😊
Awesome restoration. Two thumbs way up 👍👍
That's really cool how some content creators get inspired by others. Greate video mate.
damn, the end result looks so great !
Oh, i remember about this idea you had, and it's nice seeing you putting this project to work. Also really cool to see that you found pieces that are easy to put together, almost tooless, which makes things even more easy! Yeah, ordering something and receiving it different sucks, but a glad it worked out better in the end. I would say that in this case, the wise words of a wise man applies: "just a happy accident".
This was a cool mod! Great job
I love MachoNacho's videos! They were really helpful when I was modding my gba sp's. The new blue shell looks great!
Woow god work man NEW NOW ❤ from future
Great video! I've been really inspired by MachoNacho's content, too. I upgraded my old Advance SP in a similar way thanks to his videos. FWIW I think the parts just don't fit together as snugly as you might be used to when working on OEM consoles. Everything looked perfect to me, I think just trying to cram a load of third party components together will never feel as snug as those from the manufacturer. Would love to see more mod videos in the future!
I have gotten 2 B buttons all 4 times ordering kits. They will send a replacement if you email them. Nice job love the colors.
Wishing you and your family and friends a Very Happy, Peaceful and Holy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year Robert.

Same to you!
I like the AA batteries over battery pack unless it's like a pack that uses the AA connectors
you should add an affilate link to kapton tape to the bio so you can get a kickback when i order some since im gonna get some because of this video!
Great vid, homie
Nice build man, my only note is I would suggest going back to rechargeable AA's for a few reasons. IPS screens use significantly more power than the OEM screen and that battery is only 1500mAh which is less than a single cheap AA. Latest USB C kits do have play and charge capabilities but they do not properly accommodate for the current draw when plugged in and playing, so your battery will be overworked and lead to swelling very quickly as shown in countless Reddit posts I've seen. The most reliable rechargeable batteries I've come across are the IKEA LADAs or Eneloop Pros. Don't buy the fake AA's that claim over 3000mAh because I've bought and tested several and they come in at 2300-2500 in actuality. But again, nice build and I hope you reach out to the seller of those buttons so you can get the build you were wanting!
see, I did something similar with the full custom GBA thing, but I went with a GBASP screen and went full black out for the shell and buttons. GBAs are actually pretty easy to mod, and there's a decent aftermarket for em, too. I got most of the parts for mine from BoxyPixel.
My only wish would be to preserve your pristine GBA, and for a project like this, use a cosmetically damaged one with a working board to use with such a mod.

That's exactly what I did with a pristine GBC I bought and modded. Best of both worlds really.

Yeah I wrestled with that decision
I love your mod
Personally I think it looks great, and you did a great job. As for it not fitting together correctly, I feel like the additional 32pin is probably putting a tiny bit of extra thickness along with the kapton tape, then the little white frame on top of that. Everything being new in there is probably why it felt wrong, but it's just a matter of a lot of stuff in a little spot.
back in the day it didn't seem so small.
I really want to do a Xbox Series X controller mod to give it a more Xbox 360 color scheme
wow it's so strange to see how small this thing actually is.
Hey sorry for the offtopic question but I was wondering what camera and overhead stand you are using to get those top down shots. They look AMAZING!

No problem! I am using my iPhone 15 to film. Not exactly sure what the stand is. It is like a boom mic stand.
I think your issue with the screws is probably that the posts were not threaded. If the posts aren't threaded on a shell, you are literally using the screw to create the threads on the post, and it is a gigantic pain in the ass lol
also isn't it ironic that u and Macho Nacho both used pink gbas?
How do people not know about rechargeable AA batteries? I bought a set of 4 of them and a charger for $25 and they last like 2 years or more. That way I don't have to be tethered to a cable when charging. Better then semi permanent installs, I see people doing.
Pls clean ps4 pro :(
Pink is not my color to girly
