Game Boy Advance portable cord mod

Post by Shawn Carr2o » Sun Feb 06, 2011 12:28 pm

Does anyone know if Ben Heck can make a special cord mod to make my original Game Boy Advance portable work on either a small Playstation or Gamecube portable lcd screen?

I have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy which effects my muscles, movement and strenght and this would greatly help me play portable gaming and I would really appreciate this help. :)

I wonder if the Playstation or Gamecube lcd screen can be modified to work on all of my consoles and portables. AV ports for consoles.

I own these,

Consoles

Nintendo Famicom Toploader AV Model
Nintendo Model 2 (Will be getting this AV modded)
Sega Master System (Will be getting this AV modded)
Sega Genesis (Will be getting this AV modded)
Super Nintendo
Nintendo Gamecube
Nintendo Wii
Nintendo 64
PC Engine Duo-R
Sega Saturn
Playstation
Playstation 2
Playstation 3
Xbox
Xbox 360
Sega Dreamcast
Supergun (Has AV and S-Video)

Portables

Game Boy Advance
PSP 3000
Game Gear
Neo Geo Pocket Color

Gaming is so awesome! and I collect consoles, portables and arcade hardware to play. :mrgreen:

PSP slim 3000 models have component AV cables which won't need modding. So there is no way to mod a cord port to a my original Game Boy Advance and mod a cord port to a PS1 or GC lcd screen to play GBA games on? :)

These reason why I want to play GBA games on a PS1 or GC lcd screen is that this portable has no front-lit or back-lit screen like the GBA Sp does and so I thought that using a GBA as a controller pad would help. :)

You can use a psone screen(really any screen) on a GBA but it needs a GBA Transverter which I can't find anywhere. You can frontlight a GBA, here's a guide to do that. Here's a site where you can use a psone screen and other cool mods for GBA.

I can frontlight the Gameboy color and gameboy advance and neo geo pocket as well as add backlights to the gameboy and gameboy pocket.
PM me if you are interested.

I wonder if Ben Heck can make a small GBA console with PS1 lcd screen add on with a Gamecube controller port for those Hori Gamecube controller pads and what he will charge for this mod? I do have a GBA cable that hooks up to the Gamecube to use as a GBA controller pad. :)

It would be cool to have another PS1 lcd screen with AV/S-Video for my consoles and Supergun arcade unit a friend made for me back in 2009?

Ben Heck really sure knows how to build awesome! mods. :mrgreen:

I was thinking of using this for a GBA mod.

Or this might be a better one.

One of these would make a good mod with AV and S-Video for my consoles.
