Back when the GBA was still newish, I bought and installed a front-light kit for mine. After that mod, the display was still utterly terrible and useless for fast-moving games like Sonic and Metroid, but at least you could SEE it.
(I still have this GBA and loan it out to my kids on long car drives. It sounds like its tour of duty is coming to an end, however, as my oldest is saving up for a Switch.)
- coldpie 5y agoThe Afterburner kit[1]? I installed a small number of those for friends back in high school, was good fun. I remember the scariest moment while working on a friend's device was accidentally ripping off one of the buttons' contact pads while trying to solder onto it, and having to carefully scrape away the paint over a nearby trace to solder onto instead. He never knew :) [1] https://www.gameboy-advance.net/accessories/gba_afterburner_internal_light.htm https://www.gameboy-advance.net/accessories/gba_afterburner_...
