Looks nice, but I. Think I'd rather just get an AGS-101

On that note, can someone find me one?

[tonev]

well at taobao there are cheap 101 models also

But i like the original gba better because it just feels better in my hand

Oh and if someone wants to buy from taobao they can use this site

they are great

I want to get one of these eventually. I have an AGS 101, but the clicky buttons annoy me, and I find it way less comfortable to hold in my hands.

Any mention if the new screens are 1:1 resolution? On the first picture Zelda looks like it went some filtering, quite typical for a lcd screen that does not run on it's native resolution...

With GIMP or Photoshop you can do even more.

Im pretty sure its just a 101 screen with a ribbon adapter to install it to a original gba.

Yeah, that pic looks Photoshopped to me...

[L___E___T]

Clearly Photoshopped.

Spoiler

Gotta love conspiracy theories

Don't know if the picture is photoshoped or not but the cable looks real to me. ( the one that gives you the ability to use gba sp screen on gba )

[L___E___T]

I don't see any reason to believe it's photoshopped

[GohanX]

Pretty cool, although I'll stick with my SP.

[2A03]

I don't see any reason to believe it's photoshopped

Then why does the screen look like a blurry JPG?

[L___E___T]

Because the image is a blurry jpeg.  Other than that it just looks like Minish Cap to me

Yeah I contacted the guy from china 3- 4 months ago after watching a YouTube video of a guy who did the mod to his GBA its AGS 101 screen with a custom ribbon cable that attaches to the full bodied GBA and you have to solder 2 wires to a power and ground to to power the backlight
