Bad ass dude. Best way to play pokemon in the dark on gameboy with the original feel. No more worm lights for you.

That is pretty wicked. I wondered for half a moment why it wasn't modded to fit GBA also but then I realized that would have been pointless without shoulder buttons.

Actually now i think were doing an rgb modded non portable n64 painted white with blue EL trim, you inspired me. It's going to be gorgeous! Eventually i want an all black painted dreamcast with an orange sega swirl in EL Lighting on the top lid :) with built in VGA and region free bios.

With this specific one, Nathan was looking for something that was incognito, soemthing that looked like a stock DMG, but played GB, and GBC color games, on a full color screen. Enabling the Advance Portion of the SP is simple, I would just move the cartridge slot up to make GBA games flush with the top, add 2 buttons on the back for shoulder buttons, and widen the screen bezel for GBA Games. I've built a few of these before, actually. Here's one of my early ones.
