adjust the potentiometer while the game is on, and test it during all those cases. When I did mine it took me a little bit to get it right.Hi guys!
Few days ago I bought AGS-101 LCD (white connector) to my 32 pin GBA. Connected it to adapter from Zerey (with single wire only to backlight) and everything looks fine expect one thing - scan lines. I tried "playing" with potentiometer, but I am unable to turn them off permanently, they just always are, sometimes more, sometimes less. For example, when playing Metal Slug and jumping, I see horizontal, light bars. When not moving, everything is ok. Is it LCD fault? Or additonal wire to sovle it? Or maybe potentiomete fault and I just have to change it?
Thanks.
It might be impossible to find a seller who knows difference between ribbons for third party LCD's or Original Nintendo LCD's, when I make a question about this (on aliexpress or ebay) they answer me with absurd answers.
Yup, like any non-official hardware.Ok so I just basiccally have to order it, and hope it works?
I just know that it will annoy me having to reset the brightness level every time I turn the system on, and to be honest I think two brightness settings would be enough for me.One thing to note about this cable, which I hadn't considered before - every time you power off and on the GBA, it will default to the lowest brightness level, so you will need to press Select+L sufficient number of times to reach your desired brightness. I had thought that it would remember the previous brightness level, but I guess it has no non-volatile memory.
Incorrect. Even if your AGB-001 motherboard has a 40 pin connector, you will still need an adapter cable. The pins don't match otherwise.so if i have gba with 40 pin cable i dont need to buy a other cable from the internet to put the sp screen in gba right?
Yes, I think it is something to do with power stabilisation. I read somewhere someone trying to play games from a GBC flash cart on a modified GBA with one of the cheaper cables, and it kept having problems, which I think was due to the extra power requirements of the flash cart. I believe that the more expensive gbaguan cables fix that problem, but I haven't tested this myself.My question is what exactly is the diffferent between the Professional and Aurora Luxury cables? From google translate I get the impression that the Aurora Luxury cable includes power stabilisation circuitry?
I'm hoping to buy one of the ribbon cables sold by gbaguan, and from looking at their listings on taobao here:-
https://shop103264363.world.taobao.com/
It appears they sell 4 different types of ribbon cables for AGS-101 screens
Standard cable

Professional cable with brightness switch
http://world.taobao.com/item/24351408753.htm
Aurora Luxury cable with brightness switch
http://world.taobao.com/item/24351728191.htm
Aurora Deluxe "Rainbow Edition" cable with 5 brightness settings which you can cycle through using L+SELECT
http://world.taobao.com/item/39228683802.htm
Each cable type is available with the following options to match your GBA motherboard and AGS-101 screen
-32 pin cable
-40 pin (A) Screen
-40 pin (B) Screen

I would just have just chosen the Aurora Deluxe cable, but after reading pelago's post

Luckily, there's an ebay seller, lee_chan1985, who speaks English and is reselling the gbaguan cables, or at least some of them. See my post earlier in this thread.I'd like to order from there too but the seller speaks no English, so I guess you'll have to settle for a taobao agent, those are pricy though :/
I agree it is annoying that the Select+L cable forgets the previous brightness. Ideally it would remember the previous brightness, but if that wasn't available, it would have been nice to be able to set a default preferred brightness using jumpers or a little switch or something inside.
Well, I've only got the one cable so I've not compared the two side-by-side. I'm not sure how the brightness levels on the five-brightness (Select+L) cable compare to the two-brightness (battery compartment switch) cable. It might be that the brightest level on the Select+L cable is brighter than the brightest level on the two-brightness cable - I don't know. Although it's annoying having to set the brightness when you switch on, at least you can do it while a game is booting up for example, or in the middle of play - it's not like the 3DS where you would have to go into an option on the home screen and interrupt gameplay.So do you still prefer the rainbow cable to the aurora one?
