GBASP new screen?

Post by ZoolSnes » Sat Jun 04, 2011 7:47 am

Hey everyone, I am new here as you can probably tell.

I currently have a GBASP that has a broken screen. I was wondering if any of you know if it is possible to hook it up to say... the gamecube screen (without the gamecube itself).

Thanks in advance

Nope. It is not possible. Just sell it to someone here so they can take the frontlight out of it, then use some of that money to buy a new one...

It is possible but really not worth it. This guy did one with the original GBA and Bacteria made one as well, but I can't recall if he used the original GBA or an SP. You would need a GBA TV converter like the GBA Transverter (or whatever the other one is called), and they are quite scarce now, for whatever reason. It's easier just to sell the backlight like Pkmnjunky7 suggested, wherein you'd get around 1/3-1/2 of the cost of another SP.
