Ever fancied a redesigned Game Boy Micro? Well, if you leave your Nintendo DS with Anthony Thomas he will redesign it into this fantastic looking Game Boy Macro. Here’s plenty of images of the nifty little device to make you a little envious.
Here’s A Look At The Game Boy Macro The Unofficial Successor To The Micro
Its just half of a Nintendo DS lite…
Looks like the gamepad.
Yeah, that’s what it is actually.
This.
So you end up with half a DS/Lite that can’t play DS games…
Seems to me modding a GBA with a higher quality, back lit LED screen (I’ve seen them somewhere, though can’t remember where right now) would do the same thing. And you wouldn’t have to essentially destroy a system just to do it. And then you could also play GB and GBC games.
This really just doesn’t even remotely appeal to me, are these that good?
Sadly, none makes LCD kits for the GBA anymore. They’ve been permanently discontinued. That means no more backlit GBAs (original model, I mean).
Naw you can still make them. But you’ll have to do it yourself. Or steal it from another unit.
Yeah, that’s right. I meant to say that none produces them en masse anymore.
I would seruously buy the sh*t out of this if I could.
Just buy the DS lite and carefully snap it in half. Done.
^ Do not recommend. It doesn’t exactly work 99% of the time. I tried it once.
Well that’s basically WTF that thing is: Bottom half of the DS Lite with no actual differences or positive changes. It’s lazy.
I can do that… *snap* WHAT HAVE I DOOOOONE?!?!
What haven’t you done? NOT DOING IT RIGHT. XD
Undoubtedly.
Well considering the top screen doesn’t work on my old ds anymore…
complete waste of money.
The game doesn’t fit the screen, the cart sticks out, the screen itself sticks out, X and Y have no function…
2/10
>>>IGN: “7.8 – Too much space”>>>
…all they basically did was saw a DS Lite in half. Talk about unoriginality.
I see metroid fusion which I beat with cheats in 45 minutes with 0 percent I’m rusty and need more cheats to get in the mid to low 20 minutes with 0 percent then once I have the codes I need do a 100 percent run
Wow the comments, so much negativity, what is wrong with you people, there are tons of broken DS Lite out there that you can get for less than $10-20. I have like 3 DS Lite, one is complete and working fine, I use it mostly for DS games, and the other two have some problem with the hinges or the upper screen, and it is cheaper to make a Macro to play gba games than replacing the pieces. And is much lighter and comfortable than playing on a full DS, because most of the weight comes from the top half. Also it is not as simple as removing the top half, you have to solder a resistor to override the top screen check and then try to fit the resistor and speaker inside the bottom shell, it’s no easy task for everyone. The AGS-101 is not easy or cheap to find outside USA and I think giving a second life to one of those broken DS is a good thing. The only problem is the cartridge sticking out, but it’s not a big deal and you can also mod a DS Fat where the cartridge goes all the way in.
