I wish I could try this but I can’t if you could take apart a game boy player for the gamecube and mod it to connect to the gamecube by giving it a moded port to plug into? hmmm O_____o

All u haters out there: Hacks aren’t limited to computers and hardware/software. after all, what are hacks other than Modifying a program or system? aren’t we builders of 300gb iPods and non-portable GBA’s MODIFYING them?

> Is it also possible to use the gba as second display for my computer? with AV, (on the s-video).

Yes it is. You have to have this though: http://www.success-hk.com/pp/item_detail.asp?itemID={A0B3207F-0D21-4483-BE01-8C2AC2915E40}

> how much does a GBA use in: voltage, mA
The old GBA consumes 3V at around 300~350mA

Ok. Well, now that I’ve answered that I’ll be putting up two more tutorials(hacks). Watch for them in the upcoming days. I’ll give you a hint, one involves Google and another makes it more portable.

interesting, yet it looks ungodly ugly in my opinion, why use the gba as your second display for your computer when they are using a psone lcd for the monitor for the gba, there is already tutorials on the net for wiring up a psone lcd to a vga cable as a secondary monitor then tweaking it with power strip. just good “psone lcd mod” you’ll find it, as well it can easily enough with a dremel and a lil patience be modded directly into your computer tower.

Is it also possible to use the gba as second display for my computer? with AV, (on the s-video). i know you can buy special adapters but,, i wanna make it myself.

Keep the GBA and GBA SP hacks rolling in please!
This stuff is great!

Another killer GBA hack, well done!

It does look well, kinda Borg-like, but I’m not holding that against it, no sir.
That’s the good stuff right there! :)

it doesn’t completely defeat the purpose of a portable, you can still use it as a portable if you want but if all you’re going to do is sit in your living room playing your gameboy why not hook it into a TV and add a nice controller.

Not something I would personally do, but still cool none the less.

I think this site needs to put the deffination of Hack on the main page…just to show everyone who says “how is this a hack or this is sortive a hack” or any of that junk. Hack: the manipulation of software/hardware to gain classified information, the manipulation of software/hardware in a way nonintended for its use.

cool hack, i guess. but doesnt this kill the protable nature of a gba anyway? i mean, pretty much any one of those hacks pretty much will turn it into a console…pointless, yet obviously someone did it…i guess that defines a hack, somewhat ;p

Or maybe i’m just ranting because i bought an SP ;)
