Honestly I like this more simply because its a flip screen. I'll always prefer flip screen portable consoles because it protects the screen when not in use. Not only from scratching but from finger prints on the screen when you're putting it away, taking it out of wherever you have it or just smudging from being in a drawer or in a bag.

"this is the only soldering required"
continues to solder for power cleaner and A/V out

We're done with soldering... proceeds to solder more... and that's the last of the soldering.... proceeds to solder further....

The Game Boy Advance SP in black is definitely a beauty.

I get why the Analogue Pocket is so sought after - it's so luxurious! But it doesn't check the boxes that the GBA seems to. I'll be going for this mod for sure!

Hi Elliot, this video gave me the last little push to do my own mod. I wanted to do this for a long time, but after watching this i ordered all the parts i needed. I really wanted to have my own sp in a similar analogue pocket-style. And now it is finished: black shell, dark grey buttons, IPS V2 screen and a new battery. It was a ton of fun doing it and it is a ton of fun playing original cartridges on the original hardware. Thank you for all your work, it is always a pleasure to watch.

I like the fact that you let the hinges linger on for an extra second or two, the crinkling of the plastic baggie in silence sold me on the premium aspect of the mod

Constructive Feedback: based on the footage, soldering technique could be improved. Use more flux and less solder at a higher temperature. Be sure to use copper wool to reduce solder on tip.

Just ordered a kit to replace basically every part of my GBA from Retromodding. Next comes the SP. Wonderful video

[luthelunatic]

I'll be doing a mod for the first time very soon. This makes me even more excited for my SP mod.

[gabebykowski]

Your original GBA sp video inspired me to get into retro modding, so happy to see an updated revamp 2 years later!

[JayStoney]

Just got one today and it brought me back to being a kid. I had the original Gameboy Advance and to be able to play all the games from my childhood again idk makes me happy

[dangitnicky]

Your stylistic choices just satisfy me in a way no other mod-tuber has. The all white GBC and now the all black GBA SP-- so clean!

[thatonedudenamedvalentine]

Mines personally has a usb c charging capability along with the Helder’s power cleaner. Followed by an IPS screen installed and a bluetooth adapter. Looks very beautiful as it is a jungle green N64 themed SP!

Make sure to always turn screws left until they click into place before screwing them in. That sets the screw to the original threading and prevents new threads from being made and damaging the plastic.

I like how he says "thats all you need to sotter" then shows more, then says again "thats it done with sottering" THEN SOTTERS AGAIN

[reynaampp]

I love his ULTIMATE videos its so satisfying. Very underrated channel

[neonsky]

You look like the lead singer of Title Fight. Love the vibe.

[CYPHRsDMN]

For those wondering, the game in the thumbnail is Driver 3.

[WhatAboutZoidberg]

This setup is amazing and I just love how small and pocketable the SP is. I use my knuckles with the L + R so I love the form factor. Add in the new IPS screens and its fantastic.

Man now imagine if someone could get a bluetooth dongle to work like the wireless link adapter and you could just use wireless earbuds. Would be perfect.
