Gameboy mod?

[Tsukeo]

Hello. I am VERY new to GameBoy modding, and I want to make a smaller casing for GameBoy and bring it to school.

But there are something I need help to do:

1. I want a sliding screen like those Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro.
2. I want a way to "hide" the cartridge, so that I have a lid over the cartridge.
3. I am going to use a Gameboy Advance, so that I can play all GameBoy games on it.
4. I want a way to recharge the system instead of using batteries.

Is this too advanced for a beginner?
Thanks in advance for all answers.

Making a slider is REALLY hard. I wouldn't do it. Hardware case mods like the ones you described are fairly difficult in general. You would be better off doing a frontlight mod on your GBA if you are using an original one, or transplant a screen in from an early GBASP. Charable batteries is also totally doable. You pretty much want to have all of the functionality of a GBASP in a classic GBA, which I think is a great idea.

Ok, thanks. ^^
But what I do want, is something like a GameBoy Micro with gbasp features.

You could do a DS with no top half. It won't play GB games, but it will do GBC.

Uhmm... not even the oldest DS played GB, it only plays GBA.

It would only do GBA, thus making it a larger GB Micro.

But I want to make a compact little gameboy that plays ALL gameboy games, with a backlit screen.

Goomba color is a fairly great emulator that runs on a GBA flash cart. It's very hardware accelerated and even uses the original CGB sound channels. It's almost perfect to play CGB games on a GB Micro.
