Turn Your GBA Into A Game Console

Posted by simoniker on from the almost-the-size-of-a-nomad-now dept.

Kon writes "Here's a site that has photos and describes some very nice mods for the GameBoy Advance (original model), which make it function more like a video game console, yet still remaining portable. These mods include a Neo Geo joystick attachment, power management mod, and an RGB LCD monitor attachment. If you're not too squeamish you can try them as well, using the instructions which are provided."

    I'm serious, that guy is a genius.

    I've actually been working on a similar project - turning a notebook into a computer. I don't have any pictures at the moment, but in a nutshell, it pretty much involves tying a ball and chain onto my PowerBook G4. How do you like MY apples?
