I'm looking at one of these bad boys:

It's basically an MSX with a built in FB-01...

The 8-bit Guy did a little video review of this on Youtube. He really barely scratches the surface, but it's cool to see all the same! Check it out

Eh, I picked it up cheap from the thrift. I'd rather have it go to someone who will use it than some video game resale store or the garbage.

Replacing all the caps can't hurt.

You should do an ep of exploring audio about it! Unless you already have?

So it's not really a rechargeable arduinoby then right? It's a gameboy with a built in arduinoboy that also has a rechargeable battery?

My 2 cents: I never really got the point of a rechargeable battery in a gameboy. Seems like it's a lot easier to just bring some spare batteries to your show than it is to show up and realize your gameboy is dead, and then wait for it to charge. In a pocket they make a little more sense since the energy density of a li-poly is a lot better than two AAA batteries. Like my SP for example, there's no way of knowing the charge level until it goes into the red.

If you do do it, I suggest using the regular DC jack of the gameboy for charging rather than trying to rig a USB port in it. You can get those USB to DMG cables cheap these days.

IIRC, doing a prosound on the GBA isn't really worth it. Like it doesn't do anything. Joe Bleeps was playing around with it a while back and I think that's the conclusion he made.
