    Rare gaming accessories you own. Good and bad ones.

    My brother used to work at a used video game store, and I had him keep an eye out for Gamecube component cables for me, because why not? I never actually thought he'd come across any, but in a span of a couple months he found TWO sets. I paid ~$20 combined for them. Granted, this was around 2010...

    Hardware Backlighting a GBA... looking for help/info

    Yeah. Back-lit screens won't work with the motherboard in a front lit (-001) SP. Where did you get your screen/adapter cable?

    Hardware Backlighting a GBA... looking for help/info

    Make sure the adapter is in the correct way. When I first did this mod to my GBA, I initially installed the adapter upside down. Since there are only contacts on one side of the adapter cable, it shouldn't damage the screen, it'll just not do anything. Either screen type should work with the...

    It's hard to tell from the screen shot, being white text in a black background. If you're talking about the different 101 screens, one kind does need some additional mods done to the GBA board to get it to look right. Maybe there are cables now that compensate for that-- it's been a while since...

    Hardware Pearl White AGS-101? Is it real?

    While it is true you can't hook up a 101 screen to a 001 motherboard, you most certainly can move both the 101 screen AND board into a 001 shell. I did exactly that to make my NES edition SP back-lit. Although it is interesting, in this particular case, that the sticker says AGS-101 instead of...

    zelda oracle of ages/seasonc gbc patch

    So, I know a patch for these games exists that forces the game into gba mode, which allows access to the gba shop even if its run on a gbc. But is there any sort of patch with the opposite effect? Meaning the game runs in gbc mode even on a gba? The main reason I'm looking for something like...
