AGS-101 in DMG-01
« on: March 06, 2014, 07:52:19 pm »
So I'm trying to enchance my tetris experience and I think this might be the answer.


sorry about the crappy cell phone pictures


I made a mistake trying to figure out the power switch and cooked the motherboard - got another in the mail


does anyone have any advice on setting up a remote power switch? I want to epoxy-putty a toggle switch where the original was if its possible to setup this way.

Looks great with that AGS-101 screen.   I have a first gen GBA SP that has the front-lit screen and it kinda blows. It was great when it come out, but then when the 101's were released, the visuals were night & day.

I'm trying to find a 101 SP now. :(

yeah the market price is STRONG on those ags-101's. for good reason though that screen is be-au-ti-ful

I say pull the trigger now before they get more expensive
