USB C GameBoy Advance SP Mod (More advanced than an iphone?)

Today we make a Gameboy advance SP more advanced than an iPhone by replacing the pesky proprietary charging port with a USB type C port.

If anyone has a similar problem, you need to use a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter without a DAC.

Did you need to do that tiny wire because you changed the port or because you broke something?

Have you tried doing the headphone jack along with the usbc? I’ve done both mods separately and both work great. Recently I tried with both and I couldn’t get good audio out of my headphone jack and I can only think to blame the usbc charging port. Maybe I need a usbc port that doesn’t offer the audio out? Could that interfere with the headphone jack mod? Hope that makes sense, Great video!

Since the charging port is the same in the original DS you may also do the same thing on it XD

I'm getting no continuity between my usb-c port to the 3.5mm on the other side. I tried my analog usb-c headphones too and no dice.

I bought it from funnyplaying, if that makes any difference

Tbh, from the verrry little that I know .. ( I’m going to try a similar mod soon) you replaced the charging port …. So on a deeper level (what was that old charging port connected to in the first place?)

So if those pads were connected to (battery stuff) then ofc it wouldn’t work for sound

Now hear me out… that other port does certain things, like trading and connecting to other shiz… like the GameCube, so the other port can do certain stuff and this one can do charging . So replacing the charging port with a usb type C only really allows for charging with the type C ( Why? Cuz carrying 1 cable for everything is amazing, but that means that out of all the connections in that type C available, the only ones fully working ON THAG PORT are the charging connections.)

I’m saying this because I’m looking on eBay 2024 and there are hdmi mods (idk if they work) but imma try it out. And those mods to port picture are an easy ribbon cable …… but to port sound it involves soldering to the , to send that signal to the mod motherboard, so to my amateur a** it means its sending the (sound) signal to the audio port but by you connecting the solder wires the same signal follows the wires, to the mod motherboard, and it the inteprits it to signal or sound (because the mod motherboard is designed to do so) and then you can output the sound …

I say this because I’m learning about type C and I’d love to carry 1 cable for everything, but unfortunately it’s more complicated than that… even with type C, but atm it’s a step in the right direction(I think, hope..)

Tell me if I’m wrong cuz I’m tryna learn how to break this stuff down.
