Hey seaney.....is it the new GBA SP, the older GBA is just as good but it doesn’t have an internal light like the SP does, the SP also has an internal rechargeable battery that lasts a long time. If it’s the older GBA then you’re going to want to have an afterburner installed so you can see the damn thing. You can also get rechargeable battery packs for the older GBA's, and are recommended if you plan on installing the afterburner. I put the afterburner in mine awhile back and its like night and day (pun intended), so much better to play, even in the dark!

As for driving games F1zero is hella old but fun! Also as a true Spyo fan I like all the Spyro titles.

[seaneyb2003]

yea its just the gba where do i get thes after burners?

[spedmetal]

These are people that make the afterburner.

http://www.tritonlabs.com/

But I can’t seam to get to the area where you can actually purchase them. Here is a link to another place that had them as well as installed them, but all there links say sold out/discontinued.

http://www.aheadgames.com/cart/customer/home.php?cat=257&topcat=248

This sucks; I wonder if they went out of business?

Just did a search, can’t find any place that has them :(

[spedmetal]

Well I just looked at the triton lab page again and saw this.


Today marks the end of an era at Triton Labs. What started as little more than a petition on "portablemonopoly.com" has culminated after three years with well over 100,000 Afterburners sold and a new Nintendo product having incorporated the very same internal lighting technology. To everyone who joined the Afterburner revolution and to the publications who supported us throughout the world - our success is solely because of you and we are eternally grateful.
Our Web site will soon be taking on a completely new shape as we complete our transition into the world of music production for games and beyond. Look for our music in upcoming titles starting in 2005, or visit our site for the latest news on finished/upcoming projects.



That’s too bad, because there are still many people out there that would like to have this product in there older GBA. Oh well maybe a copy cat will come along.

[seaneyb2003]

[TylerDurden]

Mine came with an instruction manual on how to install the light. And yes it is a little tricky.

seaneyb2003 I got my backlight fitted at Electricbirdland (http://www.electricbirdland.co.uk/) cost me £30 but might be more now, great service and fast turn around :)

[seaneyb2003]

costs 12.50 and they dont have any afterburns:mad:

[AXmichigan]

so u guys are lookin for afterburners?

[seaneyb2003]

yesh i couldnt find a gba with an afterburn on ebay.co.uk so ive bid for a gba with a after burner in the us v cheap 11 pounds cheaper than the the kit!

[spedmetal]

Sean.... if you’re going to buy a whole GBA.....why not just get the new GBA SP? It already comes with an internal light. The after burner is for if you have the older style GBA already and want the light. Don’t buy an old GBA just to use the afterburner with it when you can get the new one that already has it. Or better yet wait for that new new GBA that’s going to have two screens! What’s it called again?
