This is getting old. Every time a newbie comes here and asks questions that have been answered long ago, everyone gripes at them and tells them to use the search, etc. They aren't going to stop, so quit complaining about it! If you don't want to answer the same questions for the millionth time, you don't have to- just don't post anything.

Well why don't you come up with a general FAQ for this forum, and get it stickied, so not all the newbies come in with the same questions... Instead of just sitting there and complaining you could do something about it.

You can't use the LED mod on the GBA, because of the reflective backing (or so I'm told.) However, there is the afterburner lighting mod...

you use AA batteries 12v=8batteries use alkaline or rechargable.

You don't need 12 volts it can use as low as 7.2, 6 rechargable and 5 regular unless you use a gamecube screen.

since nobody decided toreply to my thread on it, could i use the aluminum backing on the Mobo to make a cartridge slot mount? i want to make the cartridge parallel to the board like a gameboy, and since that plate was already drilled for the holes...

What are you using to relocate your cartridge slot?

1. NiMh are popular. Li-ion are good if you want lightweight, but has some recharge difficulties.
2. No, and to answer your future question, the Gamegear cant be used either
3. No, you have to do other methods.

What are you using to relocate your cartridge slot?

my cartridge slot wasn't soldered to anything, it was connected to the expansion socket beneath the motherboard, i disassembled the expansion socket (remove metal covering (i ended up snipping the connection to the motherboard), slide off the black plastic, then pull out the pins with pliers with a soldering iron melting the solder holding them in).

i used my trusty dremel with a cut-off disk to take down those two posts on either side of the socket (i'll need it flush to attach to the aluminum), i then soldered each of the pins on the socket to about 4" of solid core copper wire (you might need more, depending on where you are putting the cart. slot), then connect those to the mobo. this works great because the aluminum plate has a hole where the expansion socket stuck out, making a nice way to route wires to the socket.

if you do not have a dremel, buy one now! if you cannot afford one, steal one now! there are very few things you cannot do with a dremel, you can even cut pizza with one (take that Ben! with your oh so mighty CAD machines!!!) as long as you wipe off the bits beforehand. the cordless ones suck the big one, buy a corded one with a flex shatf attachment (it's a cord that you can put bits on for mighty detailed work, so the bulk of the dremel body doesn't get in the way).

if i had a digicam and knew how to link photos from yahoo (it says i get unlimited hosting!!!) i would do a step by step

i was hoping to start relocating today but instead i must sneak into the whitehouse and steal his dremel (i bet hell have the lithium wireless 1) LOL
