    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    You could if you can find the space in there. But id weigh the effort that it takes, vs the benefits. If you would be setting up more than one battery u gotta be careful; like Keylitho mentioned, they need to be set up in parallel (otherwise you have to worry about load balancing; remember LIPo...

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    Nice, thats pretty neat too. The only thing that id be worried about is having 2 battery cells. This charge board is not the best for charging multiple cells. Eventually the 2 might go out of sync and one might get overcharged. LiIon cells are very picky, and they overheat. You have to make...

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    So i know its been a while, but i just had time to finish a build and i took pictures of the perf board. I have connected the led leads to the side pads to connect led lights to the outside of the shell for the charging indicator. The mounted board: The battery above is a 750 mAh drone...

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    I cut it to the shape of the opening in the AGB logic board and put just a bit of hot glue, which is more than enough to make it a whole solid piece. I will upload a pic when i build by next one.

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    Yup, I already use Perf board to add surface to accommodate the additional components. And perf board is nice because if you connect the dots with solder, you can make kind of like a circuit without needing to use a lot of cable, so it looks really neat. I think that there is enough space...

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    I use a perf board to add surface to logic board on the opening where the battery compartment is. I think that there is some space between the screen and the perf board. The only thing i can think of, is to put the charge board on the side of the logic board where the screen is, and the battery...

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    Thats would be a little tight, if you look at the pics that i posted, the battery is use is around 40 mm X 34 mm X 6mm. I wasn't comfortable with putting the battery on top of the charge board, the thing gets hot...

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    Wooohhh, thats a lot of battery lol. Consider stepping it down maybe, you can get a looooot of hours with just a 1000 mAh battery.. the AGB does not have a lot of power demand. What are the dimensions if you don't mind me asking?

    I almost forgot to add my comment lol. The adafruit components are nice. I am still using the generic charge boards because i bought a whole bunch. But i was actually thinking of changing over to the adafruit micro LiPo charger. They are tiny and well built, this one...

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    Yup it is the positive out. So in between of the charge board positive out and the positive lead of the AGB. Remember that these Diodes are directional so you have to get the polarity right. Not a big deal if you don't, its not gonna short anything, its just going to stop the current from going...

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    Hello, I don't have a schematic handy, I could try to draw one when i have some time. It's really straight forward though. The hardest part is cutting the shell, oddly enough lol. Here is a picture of a cut back shell: Here are some pictures pictures of some just recently: And this one...

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    Fast6191 is correct, the diode goes between the positive power out of the board and the positive lead of the GBA. And make sure to get the direction of the diode correctly since these are one waay diodes and can only be installed in one direction. If you have the polarity wrong, dont worry is...

    The castlevania games are definitely worth playing IMO.

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    @zigaboo Yea I know all that hot glue makes it look really bad. I have some ideas on bettering the design and making it look cleaner. As for the battery of your choice, it all depends on how big the battery is physically. You don't want to put the battery over the charge board. The IC of the...

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    I can only speak of my personal experience, but none so far for me. LI-Ion batteries are very susceptible to overheating and also catching on fire or exploding if wrongly connected, but assuming that you set up the connections properly so that nothing shorts you should be fine. I have been...

    Gaming fake Pokemon GBA carts more common than real ones; any good?

    Well, the Pokemon games use the battery for time events only but I think there are other games that use it to save. There is this post from @NintendyFan that has a list of such: https://gbatemp.net/threads/gameboy-advance-gba-games-requiring-batteries.322803/ Fire Red and Leaf Green don't have...

    Its not that bad a mod, you can get it done yourself if you have a bit of affinity to soldering. @Sliter, if you want to clean your shell, use a water and white vinegar 50/50 mixture. Vinegar is a week acid (acids doesn't react with ABS plastic). Submerge the shell in the mixture and use a...

    Let me know when you want to do it Sliter and I will try to help you with links of the parts and directions if needed. Thanks gnmmarechal, The original AGB001 can go for cheap, even the good condition ones. Although it does start piling up when you do the backlit and battery mods. The one...

    Hardware Integrated Rechargable GBA mod

    Thank you Sliter and Bernex. I recently just got one of my favorite Castlevania games, Aria of Sorrow. So i fully charged the AGB and started playing it. I was able to get about 7 hours out of it without counting the time lost from dying in the game, so id say it lasts about 7.5 hours. Its...
