The Ultimate GBA Mod

**Razor Blade** · September 12th, 2004

And here you were, thinking how much better the Gameboy Advance SP was over the good ol’ GBA. Good god, how wrong you were. Didn’t you know that the GBA can interface with Neo-Geo controllers, a PSOne LCD monitor, and your TV via video out? Well, it can now, anyway. See? Old dogs do learn new tricks!

Here's some pics to show you what this is all about.

There's tons more so check out more pics and info here

That bad boy looks nice Razor.

Now that's a cool way of putting old stuff to good use.

**hushypushy** · September 12th, 2004

and people make fun of nintendo for putting so many expansion slots on their systems

**Razor Blade** · September 12th, 2004

I guess all those people who just have the original GBA can laugh at the SP owners now

zman982 · September 12th, 2004

Yeah, they can say, "Check out my NeoGBAStation."

**hushypushy** · September 12th, 2004

well i have both the GBA and the GBASP so it doenst matter for me

That looks sweet....bet it sucks up battery power though.

Still doesn't beat some good ol' fashion emulation.

September 15th, 2004

yes it does.
hardware ALWAYS beats emulation

**Bgnome** · September 15th, 2004

i saw that while ago.. it is pretty sweet though. i think it would be nicer if someone found a way to directly interface a screen with the gba hardware instead of relying on a tv adapter..

It's pretty big and all, I think I prefer my GBA with an Afterburner installed :P

Too big in my opinion, how you are gonna play it in bus or something?

with all that stuff the category 'handheld' is loosing its meaning

**Razor Blade** · September 17th, 2004

Well I think it's meant for those who wanna just play some good ol' GBA games on their couch or bed
