gameboy advance lcd screen for sale
Introducing the sharpest Game Boy Advance display yet. Gone is the blur of early 2000s hardware. Enjoy your favorite GBA titles with this startlingly crisp and impressively vibrant backlit IPS LCD display by Funny Playing.
Please check out our tutorial for instructions on how to install the IPS LCD (centered and offset methods) and the built-in brightness controller. Updated pictures with the V2 ribbon are forthcoming.
We strongly recommend testing the display before installing it in your Game Boy Advance. Once the foam tape is applied to your shell, it cannot be safely removed. Please confirm the kit is working before connecting the foam, bracket, and LCD. We are unable to accept returns on kits that have been installed in a console. Individual replacement parts are available above in the "Included" section.
Unlike the AGS-101 display, the IPS LCD is much thinner and has a larger bezel on the left side. Since most of the display is not supported by the shell, we have designed a 3D-printed centering bracket.It"s also available separately.
The IPS panel"s viewing area is slight larger than that of the AGS-101. In order to make the entire display visible, the LCD requires a lens with a slightly larger viewing area (~1 mm on each side). We sell silk screen centered lenses with this larger viewing opening.
The interior left wall (D-pad side) must be removed to center the viewing area on the display. We now offer this trim for the centered IPS LCD installation for all our GBA shells.
Avoid placing pressure directly on the screen. Hold the edges of the LCD carefully when installing it in your console. Do not pinch the screen between your fingers when manipulating it
Too much pressure can permanently damage the screen and result in rows of dead pixels. Do not force the shell closed around the LCD. Ensure the shell is properly trimmed for the IPS LCD before attempting to install it.

Lastly I enjoy how the screen it ships with does not say anything other then Game Boy Advance. I have seen many companies say something different on the screen, like their company name or just random things. This one keeps to the original and it"s very appreciated!
Got the screen kit, along with my shell and buttons today (03/20/20). The screen is nice and bright and has great viewing angles. I would recommend to anyone who"s into modding and is interested in the GBA.
Very easy install with outrageous visual results. This is without soldering for brightness control, but I can"t imagine needing it. The screen is plenty bright and crisp.
Modding my original GBA was easy with this kit. I couldn"t be more happy. Also it"s worth noting the screen didn"t have as big of an impact on battery life as I thought.
The purple gba has the ips lcd v2 and the spice orange has the old ags 101 lcd. The difference is amazing!!! The new ips lcd is much better and easy to install!
Great screen. I also have a 101 modded GBA and this screen is just so much better. A world of difference. The pixel density is higher, but also the tiny lines between each pixel that are present on the 101 aren"t present here. The picture quality is amazing, the brightness control is super useful and the kit comes with absolutely everything. You even get a centered, glass shell which already proved way more scratch resistant than any plastic shell.
A GBA with this v2 mod feels a bit like having an emulator with modern, high DPI screen but in the shell of an original GBA. Paired with a brand new, pre-modded shell this kit really gives you a 2019-worthy GBA.
I ONLY use these screen kits now, by far the best backlit solution for the GBA, GBA SP and GBC. Nothing else offers the quality of the IPS coupled with TEN levels of brightness (6 on the SP) and relative ease of installation.
The screen quality is superb and the kit came with all the materials you need to perform the screen swap (but remember you need tri-wing screwdrivers - they have them too).I will definitely order again from the store.
The screen works flawlessly. It is bright and crisp. After testing it out I decided I didn"t need to solder the brightness controls to the mainboard, out of the box it is at perfect brightness for pretty much all playing conditions. Honestly, this makes the original GBA a perfect handheld system... the one Nintendo should have made in the first place.
- The double sided tape that holds the screen to the shell will hang over the plastic a little, this will be covered by the bezel on the lens. (I was worried and tried to trim it)
- When applying the glass over the screen it can be tricky to get them both 100% dust free. I was able to attached the glass and lift if off 5 times. Each time I pried it back up with my thumb nail in the bottom right corner. I got it perfect on the 6th try.
The V2 is a really great screen. It looks beautiful with its lack of borders between the pixels. I like the slight size increase, and if course there is no screen tearing on this version. It is kind of hard to install, especially if you want the brightness control. The video instructions provided are hard to follow but there are plenty of other resources on YouTube and elsewhere if you need them. Overall, I recommend this product as long as you are comfortable with the tricky install.
Beautiful screen, but theres like a somewhat dark spot or something in the corner, I have no idea if it was there before or after I installed it, but its not that noticeable at all times, i just hope it wont cause further damage going forward.
The quality of the screen is great, and the installation went pretty smoothly! The only tricky part is soldering the wires and fitting everything inside the case if you want to use the dimming feature (but that"s optional).
It is very good. I see some screen tearing while playing Super Mario Bros. The white cloud left many white dots even though the cloud has already passed.
Screen looks super crisp, colours are clean, vibrant and correct contrast etc, absolutely no ghosting or tearing. Default brightness is perfect for me (as I didn’t feel confident soldering the brightness adjustment controls), so worked great as a drop-in plug and play option. Came in a really sturdy case for safe transit. Very happy with it.
The rubber adhesive pad sent to adhere the screen to the shell is so strong, and the display is so fragile, that if you don"t center it correctly the first time you place the screen then too bad. Trying to remove the screen from the shell will just ruin it.
I love it! It works perfectly . The screen tearing has obviously been fixed but in some games, there has been some ghosting. I"ve seen this when I was playing mostly NES games in my EZ Flash Omega. I tried it also with my Famicom mini games that came in Red and White game cartridges. Not really annoying for me, but it might be for other people.
Having difficulties when soldering the cable for brightness controller. I even broke the soldering point on the flexi-cable. But soldering the brightness is optional, and the screen is working fine with the default brightness.
Good work on the bugs. The second version of the screen is great. I really like. No jelly effect in fast games. No tearing. Great colors and brightness. I recommend.
This LCD is absolutely perfect! The default brightness is at least as bright as an AGS-101, and thanks to the IPS technology, the screen has far lower, nearly zero, ghosting than it. And no screen tearing at all as promised. It took 18 years for the GBA to finally get a perfect screen, and words cannot express how thankful I am for it.
Perfect upgrade for your GBA! Install this backlit IPS screen to enhance your enjoyment of the popular Nintendo handheld. See for yourself the enhanced brightness, colour and clarity.
To install this kit there is no soldering required. Screen is plug and play. Pair with an IPS ready GBA shell from here to make the install even simpler.
1. 10 levels of brightness are available with the soldering of 3 wires. IPS screen will still function normally without these wires if you choose not to install them.
3. The 3M gasket included with the screen is only suitable for the FunnyPlaying shells. If you choose to use a RetroSix or other shell and would like to stick the screen down (after testing) check out Perth_Retro_Gaming ""How to"" GBA series on YouTube.
3. A bigger lens viewing hole than standard is required to accommodate the IPS panels larger screen size. The IPS shells have this included. An OEM shell will need trimming. A IPS sized glass lens will also be required.
4. Please test your screen kit for faults before installation, photo or video will be required for potential warranty claims. Any issues are to be reported before installing inside a shell or adhering to gasket. Once stuck down it will not remove without damaging the screen or the ribbon.

The GBA is part of the sixth generation of video game consoles. The original model does not have an illuminated screen; Nintendo addressed that with the release of a redesigned model with a frontlit screen, the Game Boy Advance SP, in 2003. A newer revision of the redesign was released in 2005, with a backlit screen. Around the same time, the final redesign, the Game Boy Micro, was released in September 2005.

Contrary to the previous Game Boy models, which have the "portrait" form factor of the original Game Boy (designed by Gunpei Yokoi), the Game Boy Advance was designed in a "landscape" form factor, putting the buttons to the sides of the device instead of below the screen. It was designed by the French designer Gwénaël Nicolas and his Tokyo-based design studio Curiosity Inc.
News of a successor to the Game Boy Color (GB/GBC) first emerged at the Nintendo Space World trade show in late August 1999, where it was reported that two new handheld systems were in development. An improved version of the GBC with wireless online connectivity was codenamed the Advanced Game Boy (AGB), and a brand-new 32-bit system was not set for release until the following year.Game Boy Camera.

Game Boy games can be played using the same selectable color palettes as on the Game Boy Color. Every Nintendo handheld system following the release of the Game Boy Advance SP has included a built-in light and rechargeable battery.

With hardware performance comparable to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Game Boy Advance represents progress for sprite-based technology. The system"s library includes platformers, SNES-like role-playing video games, and games ported from various 8-bit and 16-bit systems of the previous generations. This includes the 3D GBA games that push the limits of the hardware, including first-person shooters like a port of racing games like platformers, like

However, some games may have compatibility issues due to certain features requiring extra hardware. For example, games with built-in motion sensors (such as
The GBA is the last of the three Nintendo handheld systems to bear the Game Boy name, games developed for it are incompatible with older Game Boy systems, and each game"s box carries a label indicating that the game is "not compatible with other Game Boy systems". However, games designed for older Game Boy systems are conversely compatible with the Game Boy Advance, with options to play such games on either their standard aspect ratios or a stretched fullscreen.
Game Boy Advance games are compatible with Nintendo DS models that support them with a dedicated GBA cartridge slot beneath the touch screen, (specifically the original model and the Nintendo DS Lite), although they do not support multiplayer or features involving the use of GBA accessories because they do not have the GBA"s external peripheral port that these features require to function. The Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSi XL do not have backward compatibility with the GBA and a few DS games that use the GBA slot.
As part of an Ambassador Program for early adopters of the Nintendo 3DS system, ten Game Boy Advance games, along with ten Nintendo Entertainment System games, were made available free for players who bought a system before the price drop on August 12, 2011.Virtual Console games for the system, features such as the Home menu or save states are missing, since the games are running natively instead of in emulation. 3DS systems that have custom firmware installed can also install the ten available games available to Ambassador Program members.

US$20 and came included with Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Because it was released so late in the Game Boy Advance"s life, fewer than 20 games support this hardware. The adapter"s usefulness is most evident in Pokémon, as FireRed/LeafGreen and Emerald feature a "Union Room" where up to forty people can enter to battle or trade Pokémon. A Game Boy Micro version was released interacting fully with both models of the Wireless Adapter.
Game Boy Advance Infra-Red Adapter: This adapter was included with the game Cyberdrive Zoids, as it is only compatible with this game. The adapter was not sold separately. This is also currently the only Game Boy Advance accessory that has not been remade for the Game Boy Micro.
Nintendo DS. The cartridge is slightly broader than a normal Game Boy Advance cartridge and includes a built-in headphone port as well as an SD Card slot. Music or videos that users have downloaded from the Internet can be transferred onto an SD Card and slotted into the Play-Yan device. Nintendo has released several mini-games for the Play-Yan that can be downloaded from their website, although Nintendo later removed all minigame functionality through a firmware update. The Play-Yan was initially available in Japan only but was released in Europe as the Nintendo MP3 Player on December 8, 2006, with the MPEG4 functionality removed. The Play-Yan was never released in North America.

front-lighting system manufactured by Triton Labs and released in mid-2002.potentiometer or an integrated circuit could be added to allow adjusting the brightness of the light. When the initial version of the Game Boy Advance SP was released, it included a very similar integrated lighting system. This was replaced in the subsequent version of the Game Boy Advance SP with a backlit display. According to Triton Labs, the Afterburner achieved considerable success during the lifespan of the GBA, with many gamers buying it though the kit voids the system"s warranty, and the company had minor trouble keeping up with demand for the accessory during the 2002 holiday season.
WormCam: This device by Nyko attaches to the top of the Game Boy Advance and connects to the link port of the GBA. This device functions as a digital camera which allows digital pictures to be taken. The snapshots can then be uploaded to a computer with the USB cable and software provided. This camera"s strange shape prevents it from being used with the GBA SP.
In early 2003, Nintendo introduced a new form-factor for the handheld, known as the Game Boy Advance SP (model AGS-001). The redesigned unit resembles a pocket-size laptop computer, including a folding case approximately one-half the size of the original unit. It also supports a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a significantly brighter LCD screen, and an internal front-light that can be toggled on and off. The redesign was intended to address some common complaints about the original Game Boy Advance, which had been criticized for being somewhat uncomfortable to use, especially due to an overly dark screen.
Around the same time as the release of the Game Boy Micro, Nintendo released a new backlit version of the SP (model AGS-101). The switch that controls the light now toggles between "normal" (which itself is already brighter than the original Game Boy Advance SP"s screen), and "bright", an intense brightness level similar to an LCD television.
In September 2005, Nintendo released a second redesign of the Game Boy Advance. This model, dubbed the Game Boy Micro, is similar in style to the original Game Boy Advance"s horizontal orientation, but is much smaller and sleeker. The Game Boy Micro also allows the user to switch between several colored faceplates to allow customization, a feature which Nintendo advertised heavily around the Game Boy Micro"s launch. Nintendo also hoped that this "fashion" feature would help target audiences outside of typical video game players. Unlike the previous Game Boy Advance models, the Game Boy Micro is unable to support Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles. The Game Boy Micro did not make much of an impact in the video game market as it was overshadowed by Nintendo"s other portable, the Nintendo DS, which also played Game Boy Advance cartridges.
Upon its North American release, IGN praised the Game Boy Advance"s graphical capabilities and battery life, but criticized the system"s shoulder button placement and noted the system"s high price tag which "may be a tad bit too high to swallow," ultimately scoring the system with an "8.0" out of 10. They also pointed out the system"s lack of a backlight which occasionally got in the way of playing games.ABC News praised the Game Boy Advance"s graphics, grip and larger screen, stating that "You"ve never had as much fun playing old games."
Reviewing for CNET, Darren Gladstone scored the system with a 7.0 out of 10, praising its graphical performance and backwards compatibility, but being considerably critical of the system"s lack of a backlit screen, noting that it makes it "nearly impossible" to play in normal lighting conditions. Gladstone ultimately suggested the sleeker and backlit Game Boy Advance SP over the system despite noting that its cheaper price may "appeal to gamers on a lower budget."ROM hacks, fan games, and Homebrew games are still being developed by indie communities for the GBA.
Nintendo hoped to sell 1.1 million Game Boy Advance units by the end of March with the system"s Japanese debut, and anticipated sales of 24 million units before the end of 2001; many marketing analysts believed for this to be a realistic goal due to the company"s lack of major competition in the handheld video game market.PlayStation 2"s previous record of 20,000 units.
On December 1, 2006, Nintendo of America released launch-to-date information indicating that the company had sold 33.6 million units of the Game Boy Advance series in the United States.43.57 million of which are Game Boy Advance SP units and 2.42 million of which are Game Boy Micro units.
