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."

    Don't forget about the PocketNES emulator for the GBA that allows you to play over 8000 NES games on the GBA in full speed. One 256Mb flash cart can hold over 1000 NES games.

    i would have found a sega game running on a nintendo platform using a sony ps1 monitor odd.

    amazing how the competitive markets change.
