Can you make a video of you playing a game on it? Very cool.

I will do,

However I have broken it :-(

During the build I got some dust in the LCD. So I popped it apart and managed to royally scratch the font light bezel. So now it is looking really nasty.

So I have a choice. Abandon the project as it was just a lazy Saturday job. Or buy another GB Advance on eBay.

Don't suppose anyone here has a GB Advance SP they want to sell me?

Not working is fine, I just need the screen!

:-(
 
Thats very cool, regarding a replacement game boy check out CEX or Gamestation if you have one local, they normally sell of cosmetically damaged ones VERY cheap.
 
I've got a gameboy advance, not sure if it would work (it's one of the old ones with the buttons on either side of the screen).

I'd happily exchange it for a couple of laser cut side panels :p

Edit: don't worry if that's not possible though, e-mail me (in trust) if you need it.

Cheers guys.

I snagged one for £5.57 on eBay.

I am leaning towards a dedicated Sega Outrun mini cab too, my fav game really.

Saying that I may still need a GBA SP (the little fold up ones).

I can send you the cut files, honestly makng this out of mdf is easy to cut. Make it out of cardboard too - that will work.
 
Everyone should have one of these :-)

I am not the 1st to do it, so when they are ready I will be sharing all the info needed.

Cut one yourself, or rent some laser time :-)

Copy away!
 
Just ordered a tri-screwdriver from the bay and started designing a case in sketchup. Sorry for copying but it's just soooo awesome I have to make one :D. Will be for a GBC though.
