Would the guts of the new Backlit GBA fit into the case of the old "Lit" GBA?
« on: February 05, 2006, 10:14:16 pm »
I like my NES edition GBA but the new backlit screen of the GBA has me feeling as though I'm using sub-par equipment so I'm wondering if I can transplant the guts from the new to the old so I can have the best of both worlds.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I have no idea, but on my GBA I installed a device called an afterburner which lights up the screen as if it was backlit.  It was a number of years ago so you may not be able to find one, but if you can I'd recommend going that route first. 

Heres a product description of it so you know what to look for, unfortunately its no longer being made and so it'll be hard to find.
