[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 564272, member: 32303"] I have never done this myself for a GBA but I have done similar things for other devices (readout tools intended for fieldwork usually), I would suggest white LEDs (they may be marginally more expensive that blue ones but the quality should be nicer (if you are coming from a DS quality is important) and try and find some strip LEDs or maybe even cable ones rather than the small bulb type, if it comes down to it though a couple of axial leaded LEDs wired in series and placed along the screens edge could work. I would suggest a direct (or somewhere en route) solder to the battery holder and depending on what sort of LED you get (the ones I tend to use take 2.5V forward and 5V reverse) you can install the resistor as part of the wire. Serial or parallel wired to the battery will depend on the LEDs position and the length of wire available, As for a switch you could try rigging it to the GBA switch but some people on a quick search used a jumper in the battery case which in my opinion sounds like a good idea if the actual switch fails to materialise. Somewhat ironically the afterburner installation and discussion threads/guides should prove a useful source of info and discussion. I would also invest in a decent set of rechargeables that keep the current nice and high for a decent amount of time. If this amounts to anything I would be interested to see pictures as well.

only ps5 updated to latest firmware can go on psn, jailbroken ones just don't use psn or they risk getting flagged or banned, altho spouting profanity in online play alredy does that
