Just got my three GBAs up and running. Still some work left to do on the blue #GBA, but for now they all play games and connect via link-port, and that's what's important! Mod parts are all from #Funnyplaying! Love their IPS kits!

#GameBoyAdvance #Nintendo #retrogaming #retromodding #retrorepair
Three Gameboy Advance consoles that have been modded with backlit screens, new colorful shells, matching buttons and membranes, custom 3D-printed grips, and soft-shell cases. The Gameboy Advances are all themed around a color, transparent blue, green, and red respectively. All display the title screen for Pokémon games, Sapphire, Emerald, and Ruby version respectively. Laminated IPS M2 kits, Laminated IPS dedicated shells, replacement buttons, and replacement membranes all from Funnyplaying. Replacement speaker, volume potentiometer, and link port (not pictured) used in repair of blue Gameboy Advance from Retromodding. Color-coordinated back stickers (not pictured) from Handheld Legend. Soft-shell cases from Amazon.
