I Built the Ultimate Game Boy Advance… But Something Went Wrong

In this video, I set out to upgrade my Game Boy Advance that i've owned for 25 years — upgrading it with modern hardware to bring this classic handheld up to today’s standards. From a bright Hispeedio IPS screen to improved power and sound upgrades, I wanted to take one of my favourite handhelds and make it even better. It didn't all quite go to plan, but I think its important to share what can go wrong, as well as right! So, here's my own Game Boy Advance — rebuilt, upgraded, and (almost) perfected.
