Gameboy Advance SP Reviewed & Disassembled

looks good but looks like they will have to redesign the accessorys too for it :( completely different shape etc to the original so anyone thinkin of upgrading ya better sell all yer accessorys with yer old one lol :)
 
the accessories DO fit (at least the official ones) however owing to bad design they are inconvienent to use.

the gba link cable wipes out the headphone/power socket so gba link games can only be risked with a full battery, the e-card reader sticks into your hands a little and some gba flashcards as well as gameboy games tend to leave grooves (especialy the rumble cards) the unit when open looks like a snapped in half gameboy colo(u)r, the buttons are tiny and seem designed for young children, those with bigger hands will find they keep catching the screen part rather than the tiny l&r buttons

that said it'll still sell by the bucketload.
 
what works
game link
cubelink (but no mains power)
e-reader
flash cards

what doesnt
tv de go
tv tuner
mp3 player/recorder
power packs
headphones (needs adaptor)
battery packs
afterburner (obviously)
any kind of wormlight
screen magnifier


seeing that list you will appreciate that most of the FUN accessories made by third parties just dont work or in the case of the tv tuner overhang on the sides and prop the gbasp up on its end :D
