What’s the difference between a plastic or glass lens? Could I possibly get some comparison pictures? Also what would be the price of a clear red.
LikeLike
The glass lens is just that, glass. It’s far more scratch resistant. I’m still waiting for the product to arrive, but I’ll post comparison pics once they arrive.
A clear red unit with the 2-way switch is $165 shipped within the US. If you’re interested, let me know and I can send you an invoice.

Hello, I am from the UK. I am very interested in having my gba modded for light only. .. maybe with brightness setting? How much will this cost me? Is it worth the cost of shipping my gba to you or sending me a pre modded one of your own? Hope you can help. ..If not can you recommend any british manufacturers that specialize in this. Thank you.

Thanks. I will put a deposit down as soon as you send the invoice or if you want to send a Paypal payment request its just the email address that you should already have.

Someone just reserved the one black unit that I have on the way. If you’re ok with waiting a bit for it, then I will source another for you. I’ll send an invoice and if waiting for a week or two is ok, then go ahead and pay. Otherwise just ignore the invoice.
LikeLike
It will probably be more cost effective to have me mod one for you versus sending yours to me. I figure roughly $20-25 of my price for the cost of the units themselves, and shipping yours to me will most likely be pretty close to that. Save some money and have an extra GBA to boot. But yes, I can most definitely sell/ship one to you. I’ve actually filled more orders overseas than I have domestically 😉
Is there a specific color that you want?

purple ideally. ….I have 2 purple gameboy advances in new condition, Dont need another to be honest. Can you give me a discount at all? Apart from that what prices are we looking at exactly? Thanks

Wait, you want a purple or DON’T want a purple?
I’ll have to look at shipping as I’m not sure off the top of my head. Typically a pre-modded unit without any special options or anything is $145 shipped within the US. $5 of that is what I figure for shipping, so it’ would be $140 for you plus int’l shipping.

ok then after reading up i will be interested in a new purple case – new glass screen (Which is better and less scratch resistant i understand it to be) and 2 levels of backlight brightness. Packaged + postage to the uk
1. Original New Purple case
2. New GBA Glass Lens
3. 2 way backlight switch
4. Packaging

Hey I just came across this and I’m dying to get my hands on one of these. Is it still possible to get one? I’d love to get one with the glass lens and two-way switch.
And just out of curiosity if it’s possible as far as custom paint goes would it be possible to get one with a color scheme sort of like the graphite GBA SP (sort of a dark metallic grey with black buttons)? That’d probably cost quite a bit extra but I’m curious how much. If it’s not too much more I’d totally be willing to go for it. But even just a plain old black GBA with the backlight would be great as well. I’ve been wanting a replacement for my old one since I sold mine years ago.

Hello GBA-god ;-),

Is there any list of mods and work you do that I can buy?
I am very interested in a modded (transparent red (green?)) GBA with backlight. Also in your micro-faceplates (mega man).
Would be cool if you could help me out here :)!

I’m putting together a list. Been so busy that I just haven’t had a chance to spend any time making the blog a little more user friendly, among other things.
The GBA and micro faceplate are no prob. I’ll have to double check, but I think I’m out of the Megaman faceplates from the first batch. I’ll gladly take a small deposit to secure one from the next batch though.

Any currently incoming that will be available? Preferably looking for Standard Glacier or Indigo, but open to whatever may be available soonest, no brightness setting switch, just set on brightest setting (Any idea of battery life on this). Live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T3C 3T6. Possible to send me a quote on price an timeline? Thanks so much!
Oh, was also just curious, is this similar to the AGS-101 GBA SP, just in terms of the brightness not washing games out, etc. like the old Afterburner and Halo kits? Really looking forward to getting one of these from you!

I’ve only been making them to order, since I can’t make them any faster in order to keep an inventory on hand. But that’s something that I am working on and WILL have in the future. I still need to do a battery life comparison. It’s on my list of to-dos.
It uses the same LCD as the 101s. It’s not quite as bright as the 101 when installed in the AGB-001, but it’s still VERY much so usable and NOTHING like a front lit unit. WAY better image 😉

Hi, I have a couple of questions:
1. Do you have any limited edition Pokemon GBAs in really good shape?
2. Can you paint the buttons?
3. Is there /any possible way/ to increase brightness beyond the level 2 you have pictured; like to GBA SP 101 max brightness level? I would probably be willing to pay extra for whatever type of mod required to get to around that brightness or greater.

Hi, I have a couple of questions of you don’t mind:
1. How much does it cost to change button color?
2. Do you have/have access to any limited edition Pokemon consoles in nice shape for not too much money?
3. Do you have any way to make the brightness equal to or greater than a GBA SP 101 on max? By any, I really mean /any/. I would most likely be willing to spend whatever to get a modded GBA to that level (but not an insane amount). I look forward to hearing back! Thanks!
LikeLike
I don’t have any limited units on hand, and I don’t typically keep items like that around. I’ll normally only order something like that if a customer specifies that they want one.
I can make a set of buttons for ya (cast plastic parts). I only offer the D-pad & A/B buttons at the moment though.
Level 2 is it for now. I’m sure I could build a voltage amp or something to get it to the level that the SP displays, but I honestly don’t feel that it’s worth the trouble or money. It’s very usable as is 😉
LikeLike
Hi, thanks for the response, and sorry for the double post (I didn’t think it worked the first time). For me, it’s difficult for me to use my SP 101 at lower brightness, and it seems like the GBA+ level 2 is about that or a little less. What would it cost for you to enable the console to get to SP level brightness? Although I /love/ lthe GBA form, I can’t give up my SP’s brightness. Thanks!
LikeLike
Yeah, level 2 on the AGB GBA is somewhere in between 1 & 2 on the SP 101.
Unfortunately I don’t have the time to attack the R&D needed to brighten it up any more at the moment. It’s something that I will gladly look into, but it’ll have to be a little bit down the road.
