Hey everyone, there seems to be a bit of confusion. This isn’t the first SP consolizing kit. The gbaHD supports both the original and SP CPU. This kit is the first SP kit that I personally looked at and featured on this channel.
I'm finding it hard to keep track of myself. The no-solder one looked pretty bad visually-speaking but is of course the easiest install. The one that puts an HDMI port on the GBA itself also looked pretty bad, and the dock mod was just an extension to that, but it's the only one that keeps the console portable if you want to use one system for both like the Switch. gbaHD is the hardest install but also the only one that offers a 1080p output. It being open-source means it has the potential to get more features later as well, plus potentially cheaper and more varied boards for sale. Woozle and Gamebox seemed pretty much comparable. Tito didn't talk about gamma correction on either of those videos, but the options are there in the menus so I assume they can match the "GBA" color option the gbaHD has. Maybe they're purely brightness though and not quite comparable? Don't have one myself. I would say gbaHD > Woozle/Gamebox >>> HDMI portable > no-solder That's without factoring in cost/installation difficulty though.
I tell ya, the flat flex cables (and the ability to make them/have them made cheaply) that have been coming with modern hardware mods have completely changed the level of accessibility for modding consoles. It's really awesome to just "solder this flat flex to the only places on the board that line up" rather than "strip and solder these 30 wires to hack in this modchip"... so awesome!
@@mancloud19 sorry for the confusion. This is the first SP kit that I looked at personally. I mention in the video that the gbahd supports both original and sp
I just have to say immediately that I really like how they made the top of the unit look like the bottom of an SP, with the fake battery door and shoulder buttons. Very nice!
My god man I just got my hands on a GBA from a old retor store took the best unit they had which unfortunately was beaten pretty bad this will give it new life and I can finally beat Final Fantasy Legend 🤣. Ty for all the work you do I have to say that intro hits all the Nostalgia nerves perfectly.
What is up with GameboxSystems??? I ordered this product from them back in April and even sent them multiple emails to which they have not responded to for over 2 months!!! At this point they pretty much stole $180 from me unless there is a good reason as to why they have not responded I would not suggest buying anything from their website TO ALL THAT SEE THIS COMMENT. I ended up getting the gbaHD from consoles4you which is outside of the US over in Switzerland and I received that in exactly 10 days after payment, yet Gamebox who is in the U.S hasn’t sent me anything in nearly 3 months.
Im in the same boat as you. I ordered in late February and they also stopped replying to my email in April. I actually ordered one through Zedlabz and got it at tue beginning of june. Im trying to figure out how to cancel my order i made directly to them.
@@benpregentlet me know if you figure out how to cancel your order with them, I requested a refund but they never responded, my bank also told me there is nothing they could do and that I need to keep reaching out to them, which is just a waste of time because they refuse to respond.
Oof, you had me until the price. I love seeing this kinda stuff but when the kit costs over $150 I start considering whether my money would be better spent on a mister (or in this case, lcd mods or an analogue pocket). In the last couple years I’ve sorta come to the conclusion that I really prefer playing portable games on portable systems. Blowing up the picture onto a 55” just doesn’t do it for me anymore.
This a cool option, but I personally plan on installing PicoBoot to my GameCube. With Pico I’ll be able to use my GBA player without having to buy a new disc.
Good to see the SP getting the consolizer treatment, even if it isn't the first time. I wonder if Game Box will address the shell issue in a future update?
For fuck's sake guys. That's $160 for the kit (OR $320 FOR IT PREASSEMBLED!!!) plus $60-$100 for the donor SP that you need to source yourself! I wonder WHY NOBODY BUYS THESE THINGS!? These people are OUT of their damn minds with these prices!
Another consolise GBA kit 😱😱😱!!! Jokes apart, I think we've got enough solution to play GBA game on tv, it's time for the other one, like Nintendo DS, PSP or 3DS (Vita have the PS TV so I don't ask for). I know than Game Box have plan to do Consolize version of both the handheld I say so I very curious to know What's going to happen when DS-HD, PSP-HD and 3DS-HD are been release in 2023 and 2024 😁😁😁.
Some of these have been out for a while and I’m just getting to them. The gbahd was a project that started a while ago but no commercial kits were for it until recently. I think a lot of people really like the gba so that’s why it get a lot of support
Man.... The 3D prints for these shells clearly need refinement. They absolutely need to do that before shipping these out. There's no room for fitment errors like this or the need to modify ports to make them fit. They really ought to team up with Laserbear or Game Tech to get some more refined 3D Prints going perhaps? Having someone who has worked on upscaling via FPGA would help as well to get those variable input lag numbers down to zero.
Dude I wish I could build a GBA SP that can switch between handheld mode and plugged into TV mode. You know, like the Nintendo Switch. And then get all my favorite GBA games on it.
I got one of these kits, followed your tutorial and online tutorial. I got to the testing point and the display won’t register. I checked all my connections, the SP turns on, and it still won’t display. Any help on this? They don’t have anything yet for troubleshooting and this video is the only one I can find.
This is right up my alley with the exception of the case, and if I had access to a 3d printer I would, as Macho Nacho put it, make it more cuboid and likely give it a good smoothing and a nice coat of paint to the point of looking like an official product. That said, the issue of the shell that comes with the kit likely could just have some tweaks made to the cad file to make it fit better. Oh and thanks for the reporting on these fine products.
I wonder (having found this channel and all this stupidly amazing handheld mod scene in the past few days, so I might be missing some context) if they could design a shell where the cartridge could be inserted from the top verticall, with the sticker side facing forward, just like in an old school console. I imagine it would require some daughter board and a hell lot more soldering and desoldering, to remove and relocate the cartridge slot, if its even possible. It would look pretty cool though! Having the cartridge sit flat against the console is a space and comfort compromise when you need to hold the console in your hands and it needs to be as compact as possible to be able to put it on a pocket or backpack without weird things at 90 degrees. But as a table console, that restriction is gone.
All of them are capable of using the cable but some of the adaptors may not be compatible due to the shell design. This one is compatible with all link port accessories.
This looks so much simpler to put together than the GBA HD kit in your recent video. It would be really cool if we got to the point where you could mod a GBA to easily plug and remove from the FPGA in question so you could still use it like a GBA, kinda like the Analogue Pocket with its dock.
The gba sp had a classic nes edition released along with several nes games ported over, so kinda hope they'll release a shell that leans into that maybe with a door over the cartridge slot too.
Sell me the one in the video 😅. I want a GBA consolizer specifically for one game although I’d play many others. I don’t want to emulate the game either. It’s Crazy Taxi: Catch a Ride for those that need to know. My Wii emulator runs the game a bit slower than original hardware but I’d prefer the actual game anyways. MNP how much?
Something I don't see anyone talk about is how they completely botch the grid lines and scanlines effects. The grid does not actually outline the actual pixels from the original image - it looks like a checkerboard is just placed over the video output without any rhyme or reason to where it should go. Looks absolutely horrible. For a real gridline to look good (see MiSTer, Analogue Pocket, or Q5 IPS), the grid needs to actually outline each and every source pixel.
Hey Macho Nacho if you haven't heard of it yet but Heldergametech just developed a flex cable for easy install of Pluto ii hdmi mod for Gamecube. Would love to see you do a video on the installation and hear about your pro/cons on what you think about the mod. Cheers champ!
Can this be used to play the Boktai games? Can't tell from the design if the necessary clearance is there for the solar sensor to be exposed. I ASSUME the native functionality still works since it uses the actual SP motherboard, but wanted to inquire.
Although this is somewhat nice to have,I cant support it. Here in germany,these GBAs are really expensive to get and in my opinion these kits just make them unnecessary rare. Its okay when you keep the parts and reverse it when you are finished using the "console" and potentially sell the GBA,but not when one builds a "console",throws away/sells the old parts and feeds it to the trash bin when it is not needed anymore or one doesnt want to keep using it.
9:00 um... if the instructions tell you that you have to cut that 3D printed pieces... 1. Why isn't it's design just already to the right shape? 2. If that shape a print quality measure, why doesn't it ship pre-cut?
Oh, I didn’t realize they were also selling GBA FPGA boards, no need to butcher a GBA! Now if only they had a composite or S video version for use on a CRT!
make sure if the donor consoles still have working displays to offer those online as spare parts so no components of the old consoles will be wasted. also try to use ASP-001 models for these, not the ASP-101 models due to their better display lights.
Do you have two different music tracks going on? I'm two minutes into the video and it's like there's somebody playing the piano in the other room and it's super distracting
There's no denying that this is the perfect solution for perfectly accurate GBA capture, other than some minor fit issues. The SP was also vastly more popular than the original and thus has a huge supply of extra parts. If this was released 6 years ago, I could see it being an easy first choice for everyone with any interest in GBA games. But that's the rub... In the last 6 years, emulation accuracy improvements, combined with leaps in hardware performance across the board, has made it redundant. Unless you're a streamer trying to navigate the Nintendo legal ninjas, a preservationist trying to capture hardware accurate behavior for something like a test cart or distribution event kiosk, or setting up some kind of ultimate TloZ 4 Swords setup, you don't need it.
Why would you gut an SP... I mean, sure if you're SP is bunk go for it, but I wouldn't doubt people out there are gutting perfectly working and SPs. Heck, people have probably gutted an AGS-101. Tragic.
You have some freaking nerve to disassemble a Gameboy advance sp for a conversation. When I realize that's what you're going to do i freaking stopped the video. They don't make these consoles anymore and people like you make more it problematic to find an authentic one because you cannibalize parts from a working Gameboy advance sp to make a completely unnecessary device to play this on. For Pete's sake just use a GameCube with the Gameboy player attachment and don't freaking destroy these beautiful Gameboys for this!
I gotta run to work so haven't watched the video yet... but why would you want to consolize a GBA SP? Are the specs different? If not I'd preserve the SP since they are nice backlit portables. Consolize the original GBAs with no backlight.
HEY, I am looking for the way in which it works to simulate that you press the button with the pcb flex, does anyone know how it works? Curiosity kills me, I don't know if it will be adding voltage or connecting to ground, but I want to know, please help! 😆😆
So quick help. I got everything hooked up but the left press on the D pad and the left trigger are unresponsive. I will go back and solder everything again to be safe, but which Test Pads on the board specifically should I look to re-solder?
See, I don't really get why you have to bend anything. Why not just make the 3D prints more accustomed to the hardware so no modification is necessary? Sort of like the Game Gear case where you had to actually remove the controller port metal before putting the case on. That kind of killed my joy for the kit to be honest, as I'm just not comfortable using it without leaving the plug intact as it should be. I'm not really sure why the case wasn't designed to be be usable without having to remove it like that.
Hello sir, I'm in search for some answer, sorry to bother a bit out of topic here but, Do you think is possible to make an upgrade on the android version of the Kishi v1 cointroller from only charge type c to type c 2.0 at least? that way we might be able to connect an external display? like with an adaptor? MHL supported of course
Hey everyone, there seems to be a bit of confusion. This isn’t the first SP consolizing kit. The gbaHD supports both the original and SP CPU. This kit is the first SP kit that I personally looked at and featured on this channel.
But you said there is no other gba sp consolizer. The normal gba sp mod use the full gba sp board too and not only the chips
What about full e reader support?
No link to this new product?
@@jamesstapleton8526 it’s in the description dude
@@leoalex50 Yeah you're right thanks brotha
Wish there was a tier list of all hdmi mods, at this point there are more mods than the GBAs out there XD
I'm finding it hard to keep track of myself.

It‘s refreshing to see a kit that utilizes the SP instead of the original GBA.
Agreed, this is the first kit I’m looking at based on the SP!
@@MachoNachoProductions that's not true. The gbaHD had GBA SP from the start almost two years ago
@@mancloud19 sorry for the confusion. This is the first SP kit that I looked at personally. I mention in the video that the gbahd supports both original and sp
Agreed
The SP is very underrated and kind of neglected when it comes to mods
@@JuanguarMostly since it doesn’t absolutely require modding.
I'd rather see more sp's used for consolization. The original gba is better off with an lcd mod bc the form factor is better suited for handheld play.
I just have to say immediately that I really like how they made the top of the unit look like the bottom of an SP, with the fake battery door and shoulder buttons. Very nice!
This kit is perfect for me as I don't have a single original GBA but I have plenty of SP parts. So glad we're finally getting more SP consolizer kits.
My god man I just got my hands on a GBA from a old retor store took the best unit they had which unfortunately was beaten pretty bad this will give it new life and I can finally beat Final Fantasy Legend 🤣.

Picoboot and gba player is a fantastic option!
Please take a look at the AdvancedVGA kit from inside gadgets. Very cheap kit with low latency and proper scaling.
Sounds interesting!
This is a great idea because there's definitely loads of SPs lying around with screens snapped off or broken hinges that probably cost nothing
Good to see the SP getting the consolizer treatment, even if it isn't the first time. I wonder if Game Box will address the shell issue in a future update?
I think it would be great if the shell was upgraded to make the installation easier. For me, it was the most difficult part of the mod.
the GBA SP HD is my favorite among the GBA console mods for TV
For fuck's sake guys. That's $160 for the kit (OR $320 FOR IT PREASSEMBLED!!!) plus $60-$100 for the donor SP that you need to source yourself!
I wonder WHY NOBODY BUYS THESE THINGS!? These people are OUT of their damn minds with these prices!
As always a great break down and review of this consolizer. Well done Tito.
Thanks Eathen!
already the sp version? amazing🤩
The gba sp Version on the Gbahd exist a long time now
Thanks again for the content, Tito! Amazing video as always, we are glad to see a happy family of GBA consolizers for everyone to choose from now!
This is the kit I am using currently for my Gameboy playing switch dock project.
Nice!
Another consolise GBA kit 😱😱😱!!!

The company doesn’t even exist anymore I really wanted to attempt to buy/build this :(
I'm really not into this kind of things, but gotta say this video was really chill to watch
Has there been some kind of discovery about the GBA hardware in particular that is giving us this deluge of consolizer kits?
Some of these have been out for a while and I’m just getting to them. The gbahd was a project that started a while ago but no commercial kits were for it until recently. I think a lot of people really like the gba so that’s why it get a lot of support
This channel is a gem.
Thank you 🙏
Waiting for a Gameboy Micro consolizer kit to drop one day.
I have literal piles of busted SPs that I can just churn these out with.
As we get older our eyes age and it makes looking at a small screen difficult. Not surprised that these are so popular.
Great video, see you next year!
What's even the point of this thing? If you wanna play GBA games on your television with real hardware, you could just get a Gameboy Player.
Now we just need a kit for the micro!
I don't think so, they're too expensive to warrant it, even if it would be very compact. The SP form factor is good enough
It's good to see the SP getting some love. I have an SP board that can't charge, but can power on. This would be a perfect use case for it.
Didn't think of any possible reason someone would do this. That is if your EM8 and or fuses aren't bad
If only they could have kept the controls. Always loved them, super snappy
Mom can we have snes
Mom:No we have snes at home

Ah yes. Right when I get into xbox handhelds and ps2 handhelds we turn a gba into a console. What a time to be alive.
Looks like these are not available anymore...i would have loved to complete this mod though!
I've been sitting on an sp that I stole the screen from to upgrade my original Advance for ages, just waiting for a kit like this. Thanks for sharing!
Depressing to see another kit that requires you to destroy the handheld. Might as well use an emulator.
Do any of the consolizer mods have link cable capabilities
All of them are capable of using the cable but some of the adaptors may not be compatible due to the shell design. This one is compatible with all link port accessories.
This kit is awesome! Love the form factor. Found my next project 👍
Sweet! It’s a great kit, but that shell is tough to get on 😅
There are two wolves inside me:
“I don’t need this” and “I need this badly”
This looks so much simpler to put together than the GBA HD kit in your recent video. It would be really cool if we got to the point where you could mod a GBA to easily plug and remove from the FPGA in question so you could still use it like a GBA, kinda like the Analogue Pocket with its dock.
CubeBoy Advance!
I actually love that name!
What a janky kit. Good on you for making it work!
Regarding the flex ribbon's proximity to the one component, would it be possible to trim the edge of the ribbon to fit it flush against the PCB?
It’s entirely possible. I’d have to see if there is enough clearance.
Tito, do 8bitdo controllers work on these? I'd love a consolizer but really want wireless controllers with it. Thanks for your answer and great video!
Yes, 8bitdo controllers will work 👍
The gba sp had a classic nes edition released along with several nes games ported over, so kinda hope they'll release a shell that leans into that maybe with a door over the cartridge slot too.
I've been wanting to do one of these for a while now. The only thing that's keeping me back is the price point. I still think it's amazing!
Very cool, the SP's form factor was the best. I don't really need something like this anymore since I have the Analogue Pocket, but this is great.
Hopefully soon we can get a kit for the DS/3DS.
Just what I've been waiting for, I never understood why the gba was the base given it's foot print
Gba is cheaper
I am glad that is reversible because most kits aren't. So if you change your mind you can go back to the old Gameboy Advance SP case.
Sell me the one in the video 😅. I want a GBA consolizer specifically for one game although I’d play many others. I don’t want to emulate the game either.

opening would be relevant if the GBA HD did actually use the PCB, but it doesn't, the company decided the form factor with the chosen PCB replacement.
True, the gbahd has flexibility in its form factor. The limiting factor would be the spartan board
Do you have two different music tracks going on? I'm two minutes into the video and it's like there's somebody playing the piano in the other room and it's super distracting
Awesome video as always Tito!!! Definitely using this to build mine 😁
Thanks Donald!
Gameboy player is still king.
HDMI is whack, real ones play it on a CRT at 240p with gameboy interface.
Damn, call that system a Gamecube.
I have to GBA SP, i was thinking of turning one into a console like this, after seeing the price, fuck that shit, it's expensive as fuck!
this man is a hoarder of the game boy advance
I must have them all 😅
Queria muito um aparelho desse pra transformar meu SP em console de TV, pena que no Brasil sai uma FORTUNA pra comprar um equipamento desse.
Is there any way to make it compatible with games like Four Swords Adventure or Crystal Chronicles?
How does the GameBoy advance adapter for GameCube works?
I mean, can it be used to make a console kit too?
Might start copping standard gameboys before the stock ones go extinct, I donut understand the point of this.
Don’t know why, but I imagined a tiny Game Boy Player when I saw the title and thumbnail.
Hey Tito have you ever heard of the visteon dockable entertainment system? Kinda pricey but a darn cool product I wish was more available

Does audio over HDMI now output correctly to capture cards, or the same as the GBHD Advance?

They don't make these consoles anymore and people like you make more it problematic to find an authentic one because you cannibalize parts from a working Gameboy advance sp to make a completely unnecessary device to play this on. For Pete's sake just use a GameCube with the Gameboy player attachment and don't freaking destroy these beautiful Gameboys for this!
I gotta run to work so haven't watched the video yet... but why would you want to consolize a GBA SP? Are the specs different? If not I'd preserve the SP since they are nice backlit portables. Consolize the original GBAs with no backlight.
HEY, I am looking for the way in which it works to simulate that you press the button with the pcb flex, does anyone know how it works? Curiosity kills me, I don't know if it will be adding voltage or connecting to ground, but I want to know, please help!
😆😆
Does the link to "Purchase The GGHD:" still work? I got a 404.
So quick help.
I got everything hooked up but the left press on the D pad and the left trigger are unresponsive. I will go back and solder everything again to be safe, but which Test Pads on the board specifically should I look to re-solder?
See, I don't really get why you have to bend anything. Why not just make the 3D prints more accustomed to the hardware so no modification is necessary? Sort of like the Game Gear case where you had to actually remove the controller port metal before putting the case on. That kind of killed my joy for the kit to be honest, as I'm just not comfortable using it without leaving the plug intact as it should be. I'm not really sure why the case wasn't designed to be be usable without having to remove it like that.
Hello sir, I'm in search for some answer, sorry to bother a bit out of topic here but, Do you think is possible to make an upgrade on the android version of the Kishi v1 cointroller from only charge type c to type c 2.0 at least? that way we might be able to connect an external display? like with an adaptor? MHL supported of course
