GBA SP

Post by RyaNtheSlayA »

Hey I was curious how many people here have the rereleased one that came out w/ the GBA micro, I thought there was only one version but i guess i have the AGS-101 with the DSLight/Micro screen in it.

Yeah, I do. I love the brighter screen. But I think it has a bit more motion blur than the old SP.

it does the refresh rate is lower but the colors are more contrasted and vibrant too, worth the trade off in my opinion.

Makes fast-paced action games much harder though.

I have a 1st model GBASP and I've never had a real issue with the brightness of the screen (it beat the crap outta the GBA on any day) plus I love the clamshell. :D

But if you were to see a 2nd gen SP, you'd realize how foggy your screen is.

It's true. I'll never go back to a first gen SP.

We've got a pair of the brighter screen SPs. They're really nice. My kids' friends come over with their older versions and the difference between the two side-by-side is unbelievable.

Well like you said, "Makes fast-paced action games much harder though.", and that alone is reason enough for me to keep my eyes ignorant so to speak. :roll:
Besides, I usually emulate or play GBA on my DS-L these days~ I actually haven't used my GBASP in over 2 years...

The DSLite screen is very similar to the SP2's anyway, so you get the idea.
