The screen is smaller than the original but it’s not crisp and bright that with the included glass lens it looks great. I only have a hobbyist’s level of soldering ability but the ribbon bridging isn’t terrible with some patience. Retro Future on YouTube has a tutorial for this installation on his Metroid Gameboy Video.

The Game Boy Advance SPGBA SP), released in Japan on February 14, 2003,sixth-generation handheld game console developed, released, and marketed by Nintendo that served as an upgraded version of the original Game Boy Advance. The "SP" in the name stands for "Special".Game Boy Micro, which was released in September 2005.

In 2005, Nintendo released an improved version of the Game Boy Advance SP in North America, featuring a brighter backlit screen instead of the previous version"s frontlit screen. This GBA SP was Nintendo"s first internationally-released handheld system to feature an integrated backlight. (However, there had already been a backlit system years earlier with the Japan-only Game Boy Light, which was essentially a Game Boy Pocket with an electroluminescent backlit display.) The AGS-101 was never officially released in Japan, however, as the frontlit AGS-001 models were still available on the market until the end of production.

In 2006, the AGS-101 backlit model also saw a very limited release in Europe.Game Boy Advance-compatible Nintendo DS one year prior. The European version was released in "Surf Blue"

Unlike the North American release, the European box does not feature any prominent text to distinguish the backlit models from the older frontlit models. In addition, only the "Surf Blue" color was unique to the AGS-101, the other two colors "Pink" and "Tribal" had already been released as frontlit models - for these reasons it can be very difficult to identify a European backlit SP. Apart from the AGS-101 model number on the base of the unit, the only other obvious distinguishing feature of the European backlit model is the large picture of the Game Boy Advance SP featured on the front of the box. (The European frontlit models of "Pink" and "Tribal" only feature small pictures of the Game Boy Advance SP on the sides of the box and Flower/Tattoo patterns on the front respectively.)

The AGS-101 Game Boy Advance SP was the final Nintendo handheld to have backwards compatibility with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games in North America and Europe.
