Gaming Having trouble with making a DS-GBA

[legoinventeor]

From my previous DS mod i had some parts left to soposedly make a DS-GBA. I had all the parts, exept for the top screen that broke (the ribbon cable and speaker). I built the system without the top screen (I still put the Wireless and microphone), but the ds just flashed and turned off. It will only work when I put a working top screen on the motherboard. So how do you propertly make one?
Please and Thank you!

IIRC you need to bridge 2 connections in the upper screen ribbon connector so it thinks there is a screen connected.

Alright. Thanks for your help!

Actually you aren't supposed to directly bridge anything but you need to connect a resistor to the ribbon cable for the upper screen. Just Google GBA Macro, you'll find lots of guides

don't bridge, you should put a resistor (or something like that, i remember reading about it), like above guy said, search gba macro, its the common term for a stripped down DS to use as a gba

@PoppaDre made one and has one for sell here at gbatemp, he might be a cool guy to help ya
