Become a member for a chance to win a custom Gameboy every month! Hey Guys, Jayboy of the Modz here.. I like to make videos about my various mod journeys featuring tutorials, showcasing builds, restorations and also livestreams as well!
When I was a kid, I helped my dad work on a project that turned one of the GameSharks they made that went into the parallel port into essentially a removable modchip by overwriting the gameshark with UniROM to play burned games on it without having to disc swap or physically mod it. Was very cool and inspired me as a kid to work on electronics and computers today as an adult. Very neat stuff!
You could also try running Swiss Custom Firmware on the console (using a save from one of the supported games), Run it, change the disc to your US disc, and run the disc through there.
Do you take repair orders? I have a GBA with a messed up power switch (i have to nudge the power switch to turn it on) and a DS Lite that turns off as soon as I turn it on (I checked the battery and ribbon cables, neither were the problem). The GBA's screen is broken too, but I can't replace it because the screen I want isn't in stock.
I bet it was made this way so that if you moved to Japan from the USA and vice versa, you would have to buy a second console. This means more money for Nintendo.
Hey dude could I send in my gba sp for repairs to you, I ripped off my volume slider and can’t get it back on I think it needs a new volume thingy to be soldered in and I can’t do it. Thanks!
