Backlight a GBA

[kisamefishfries]

Is backlighting the GBA completely impossible or what? Ive never really seen anyone do it, but I really want to try. Ive already completely dismantled the gameboy and so on. I realize that the metal behnd the screen kind of, prevents it but is there a way to take the screen out of the metal to instal a light? Me and my friends want to try this so that we can play FFCC in the dark at night, in an attempt to do a one night run. But we dont really want to buy SP's and we already own the GBA so, is do you guys have any ideas or so on?

It's impossible.

You can frontlight it, I'd be happy to sell you a gba sp frontlight, I bought one and never used it.

Bush, im still thinking on what I want to do with this. Im pretty deadset on lighting up the screen from the inside, although it may be impossible.
Mako, why is it impossible though?

It's still on the inside, it's just in front of the screen instead of behind it. Frontlighting is not having an external lighting apparatus, it's just having lights in front of the screen, but still below the screen protector.

I want to frontlight a GBA too. The GBA SP (AGS-001) frontlight is the only frontlight I know of but I'm not sure there is enough room for it. The GBA is super compact.

sure I guess I'll look into buying a front light for it. What do you want for it?

Actually, someone else is buying it now; Ill let you know if they back out.
