I wonder, has anyone ever made a clone of the GBA that has a nicer screen that you can actually see without standing on the surface of the sun? Or do you just have to play the games on a GBA SP if you want any form of lighting at all?

It's a shame the backlit (as opposed to frontlit) SP is so rare.

@noiob that actually looks really good and we might get one sometime

Follow

@Felthry it adds a bit of extra bezel

I first saw it in this video, there's some good footage of it near the end: youtu.be/WG8loyh-kFw

@noiob yeah that's really nice

we have an old broken game boy color sitting around somewhere that we need to replace the speaker on

might end up replacing the screen too now!
