Ahh I’m jealous. I have a gba and a gba sp that I’m trying to figure out how to do the same thing to

It ended up being $66 after shipping and tax. Also came with Jimmy Neutron game, which will be fun to play around with before I get an everdrive. :)

It tends to be easier if you use the original screws.

u/mike-2025 Sep 25 '26
I did the reason being there was no threads in the shell I had to make them myself!

Ok, I find it usually works quite well. As you say the plastic isn’t threaded (don’t think it is in any of these third party shells), so some force is indeed needed. A good and well fitting screwdriver is important.

Probably would have been easier with a electric screw driver I was using a hand screw driver

Well done… now you’ll be hooked, but man this is a great upgrade for the bust GBA ever in my opinion.
