I still love playing retro games from time to time, so I recently kitted out my Advance with an upgrade.

There have been a number of screen mods available for the GBA over the years.
#Which gameboy has a brighter screen mod
Does anyone know if on the AGS-101 mod there is a different spot I can solder the backlight wire to to make the screen brighter Basically I want to try to have it be permanently as bright as the AGS-101 GBA SP on it's brighter setting. GAMEBOY ADVANCE SP BRIGHTER SCREEN MOD MODS : Gameboy 1 Posted by u/Dannerz 3 years ago AGS-101 mod with a brighter screen. More recently, a better alternative has emerged: a large, even brighter IPS LCD panel.įor a long time, the best improvement was to switch the screen out for the backlit screen that’s used in the Game Boy Advance SP. The larger LCD requires some areas of the inner case to be cut out to make space for it. I didn’t fancy trying to do that, so I ordered a special pre-trimmed shell from RetroSix, along with the screen kit. RetroSix manufacture their own GBA shells ready for the new LCD (they said most aftermarket shells aren’t very high quality), along with optional modifications to fit a USB-C battery pack. If you’re in the US, I’ve heard that Retro Modding are a good parts supplier.

Installation involved opening up the Game Boy, disconnecting the screen and discarding the old shell, connecting the new screen, mounting it with adhesive and a 3D printed bracket (to get the correct positioning), screwing it all back together, and installing a new glass lens over the top. Correctly aligning the screen when installing it.RetroSix’s own instructions were fairly barebones, but I found a couple of different tutorials online that helped to guide me through it.

Installing both the screen and the glass lens without getting any dust in between them.Now that it’s complete, I can’t help noticing that it’s a fraction of a millimetre down on one side. The 3D printed bracket wasn’t super precise.I did a decent job, but I can see one tiny speck under there. Overall though, I’m very happy with the outcome! Screen++ I had to file down some parts of it, and I ended up removing one piece altogether as it was pressing into the back of the screen and causing a light area to appear. The screen is just in a different class to the original. It’s really bright, very clear, and has nice vibrant colours. then I remembered NONE of those GBs had lit screens.

Upgraded IPS Screen - multiple levels of brightness My one pal and my cousin both had Game Boy Pockets, but as kids go. With everything being new, buttons may be a little tough at first but will loosen up with normal usage. The Color offered a better display but maintained compatibility with existing Game. In my opinion, it had a brighter, more reflective screen than the original Game Boy Advance, and the bright, simple 8-bit color palette was a good match for the screen. On the other hand, I dont mind at all with the Game Boy Color screen. All Gameboys, when complete, are tested thoroughly to ensure 100% working capability.
