Modded New Daily Driver

Finished my perfect GBA to daily drive. AGS-101 screen mod that I did way back when IPS screen kits did not exist yet, blue power LED, Funnyplaying everything else basically, shell, buttons, rubbers. Holographic stickers and glass. Also swapped my copy of Emerald's shell to one that matches the GBA, seeing as that's all I'm playing these days.

Very nice, I dig the solid and clear black color scheme. The holo stickers complement it nicely.

Yeah looks super clean! Love the 101 screen for the authentic experience.

While the ips screens are super cool and can give new life to an otherwise dead gameboy, I do love the original look

I went with the FP ITA mod for exactly that reason. Not quite as authentic than the old school 101 for sure though

Also a great option, and it doesn't require taking apart a now very rare AGS-101 model!
