Holy Crap!

I should have 'em in about a week or so. I'm putting together a thread right now so I can start taking orders ;D

Sweet. I'll even supply donors for most of it. GBA internals, GB shell, GB cartridge, etc. I would prolly have about 70% of the parts if that makes it cheaper/easier. :P
The frontlight doesn't work on the GBA I have though. Can you buy new frontlights? Or will that be a problem?

Wait, you want a Gameboy like I'm building? I mostly talking about front and back light mods. I'll gladly do one-off stuff, but the price will go up significantly.
As an FYI, I probably have about 10-15 hours in this thing already, and at least a few more to go.

Hey that's a great start to the instructions! If it's just a minimal amount of soldering involved, maybe I can buy a kit and get my engineer friend to help me solder it.
Have you made or seen a GBA with the backlight that has one of the semi-clear shells, like Glacier? I ask because I don't really want to mod my original, but I have a semi-clear one that I think would be awesome as my backlit version. I just want to make sure the light doesn't spill out of the screen area so much that it's distracting.
Also, that GBA in a DMG is freaking awesome... I'm very anxious to see how that turns out.

Just ONE solder point ;) It is pretty tiny though :-\
I just did a neighbor's. It looked good to me. I'll grab it tomorrow and snap some pics. Been meaning to anyway.
Thanks man! I REALLY wanna get it done. It's definitely the most complex console mod I've done to date.
