GBA Screen Hacking

MariomanDS · Post by **MariomanDS** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 5:45 pm

These are a few questions I have about hacking the GBA and I have already searched for these questions.
-Can you do the LED mod on the GBA if you use some sort of pf reflective surface behind the screen like tin foil.
-Can you hack a gba or gba cartage to take in AV with out the adapter?
-Can you cut down the GBA mother board with having it still work normally?
And
-Can you make your GBA plug into your TV and still work as a portable?
Thanks for the help

in theory you could hack your gba by putting the cart inside it this would work but it would be very hard and it wont look good i dont know why i even suggested it

If he is right then it may be possible to LED mod it.

I have a GBA just sitting around, maybe I should try it sometime.

just do a back lit with flat white leds and ither a peace of white paper or some other thin thing that glows while lit.

Why dont you just take the backlit screen from the DS then the colors arent washed out and you dont have to do a LED mod

For tv output you need a TV tuner attatchment that you have to hard-wire to the GBA mobo.

Why not build an SP with a built-in flash cartridge, and instead of a cart slot it has a USB plug?

And if you are going to want a backlit GBA, why dismantle a DS if it already plays GBA games?

Or you could build a Game Boy Player into your GCp?
