***** You're welcome. Also, do you happen to live in the United Kingdom by any chance? I keep thinking your American, maybe it's the accent. Not as thick.
Harvie yeah there's good accessories for it theres the play it loud (it's also a handle grip but that's for dsi/dslite)And they have decals and plastic things u put the console in to "protect" it from scratches. that's all I know about they have em on amazon
Does that light has to be extended? I assumed it should be opened to be above the button and the pad so the lights reach the screen from a 45 degree angle, there is no point on having them at the sides
I had that light kit for my gba u put the bottom first then pull the top over the gba and it's on. you were doing the opposite plus u had it upside down at the end.
I played my game boy advanced well in to the life of the DSLite! I gotta say I cant understand why the wire lever design for the battery contacts didn't catch on elsewhere! So much nicer than springs!
You should have gone for the giant speaker grip that Intec made back in the day. It was a big wing grip that had stereo speakers built in with a small amp. It was quite a statement (and loud as all get-out).
I was curious to find it again so I did some digging. I don't know the name anymore unfortunately, but this auction on ebay has one. It's the big pink grip with the stereo cable coming out of it. m.ebay.com/itm/263056982811?_trksid=p2385738.m2548.l4275&_mwBanner=1 I know it used a special battery pack too, but I think that's in the pics too (that small pink piece that's shaped like a gba battery cover). Listing says untested so results may vary. At worst you at least know what one looks like off those images. Good luck finding one if you do search further.
Man, the odd light at the end was upside down 😱 That thick part goes under the Gameboy Advance logo on the screen and the slim part goes on the top of the screen. I actually had one of those (now that I remember) and it was pretty cool to play with it everywhere. I wonder why I don't have that accessory anymore 🤔
i just can suggest you the Ags 101 mod. Did bild it just few weeks ago by myself and its awsome! the displays a easy to buy on Aliexpress for around 35 usd plus 10 for the right matching cable, i suggest you the version what can change the brightness
Man, it's such a shame the guy who made the skins for accessories for this gameboy stopped doing it. I'd gladly pay for someone to make my gameboy look this good!
Dear Brandon. To your question on the gamester light up holder: all gba's (AGS-001/AGS-101) are the same size. It is a possibility that it was supposed to look like that, despite looking odd. It is most likely a mass-produced Chinese knock off, hence the reason it doesn't fit the Nintendo GBA'S. It is also a possibility that it could be made for a gba clone, deeming it non-compatible with your legitimate Nintendo Gameboy. Hope my advice helped, and feel free to consult with me on any more Gameboy questions you may have in the future. Good video by the way. Sincerely, Aviation Lord.
Thanks for the help man, you could be right, but after this video I actually found out i was trying to install it UPSIDE DOWN. I know... I am stupid xD - It currently fits the GBA perfectly. :) Thanks for stopping by my Lord.
If you REALLY would have wanted to pimp out your GBA... you should have modded the screen with a AGS-101, the Glass Scratch resistant screen, and the upgraded amp for the speaker. You wouldn't have had to worry about the "worm light" Nice paint job though
You asked for it so I pimped it! Thanks for watching guys it means a lot, and be sure to share this video!
are you sure you put the light accessory in the right way, it didn't look right
Turns out, i was doing it upside down... FML
O BLY
Brandon Salt 😂
it reminds me of fallout
You put it in upside down
Lol... no way. Seriously?
Yeah your supposed to be able to open up the battery when it is on the GBA so that square is supposed to be on the bottom
yeah its upside down. gotta install with no game bottom goes in first
Can confirm, had this as a kid.
lmfao i just it was blocking the nintendo logo ..shit look like its . straight out of stargate
Pimp either the Game Boy Micro or the original Nintendo DS next.
You got it Christian, thanks for watching!
***** You're welcome.
Also, do you happen to live in the United Kingdom by any chance? I keep thinking your American, maybe it's the accent. Not as thick.
Yeah from the UK, I have a very west country accent which is why it's a little weird. xD
Would love to see the micro pimped Ive had mine for over 12 years and still using it since its so portable.
What's the battery life like? I've never had one, does it take batteries or is it rechargeable?
Do Gameboy Micro next!
You got it James!
Awesome dude!
Brandon Salt pimp my joy con (switch
Tech James nice
Brandon Salt well that didn’t go your way.
Did you try turning it UPSIDE DOWN??????
That's what happens when you try to force the GBA into the lighting unit upside down.
The screen is upside down
🙃
dude you just put the gameboy into the light accessory wrong
your supposed to flip the gameboy 180 degrees then put it in
PokéSuFan 😂😂
do you really need to point out those little mistakes?
lol imagine that ds lite piano game thing strapped in
@THIS GUY IS A RACIST he asked in the video for tips on it...
It's a pip boy from fallout
Hahah, yea kinda looks like one doesn't it!
Nope
Skullybonez147 has to be gold with diamonds to be a pimp boy
LOL it looks like you found an ancient gameboy advance
I dug it up! xD
Gameboy Advance Prototype Leaked
You'll need a couple of ancient screws, shaft and cores to upgrade it
neek247 from the bronze age
5:36 laugh of an insane person
xD
That cage thing was clearly upside down. thats why he couldnt get it to fit.
You didn't even do the AGS-101 Backlight mod!?!? No GBA can be pimped without it!!
That laugh after he says "Oh god I just spat on the gameboy" NEVER GETS OLD!!!!!
PLEASE PIMP ORIGINAL NINTENDO DS
Are there many good accessories for it?
Harvie yeah there's good accessories for it theres the play it loud (it's also a handle grip but that's for dsi/dslite)And they have decals and plastic things u put the console in to "protect" it from scratches. that's all I know about they have em on amazon
THE GAMER2006 Ye they sometimes have cases for them aswell
don't call it oldschool tho (this word is getting censored)
yea do ds lite
You put the gameboy in upside down man, the cartridge slot is at the bottom!
This is way deeper than peripherals. your tearing open the console and modding it,
Nice.
Does that light has to be extended? I assumed it should be opened to be above the button and the pad so the lights reach the screen from a 45 degree angle, there is no point on having them at the sides
Did u have the chargeable battery on the back if so it would make the back bigger and not fit
No he just had it upside down
I'm 12 in 2017 and have a GameBoyColor... my favorite game system.
For some reason I get the feeling of metroid from this. Especially with the battery pack grip
The chargeable grip sounds like the switch rechargeable grip. Just cool to see a classic console with that!
5:58 why would you need it for an sp?
He said gameboy advanced
Nathaniel Solon Pedersen He also mentioned the sp
I had that light kit for my gba u put the bottom first then pull the top over the gba and it's on. you were doing the opposite plus u had it upside down at the end.
FML. Thanks for the heads up Oni!
Love these pimp my game boys, please start doing this with the DS models, that would be awesome.
Thanks for the kind words, no doubt i'll do DS soon. :)
I played my game boy advanced well in to the life of the DSLite! I gotta say I cant understand why the wire lever design for the battery contacts didn't catch on elsewhere! So much nicer than springs!
Yup! Thanks for watching man!
This game boy makes me want to huff silver spraypaint and scream "WITNESS MEEEEE"
love that people still do theses
and now you've just voided the warranty on your gameboy XD
You should have gone for the giant speaker grip that Intec made back in the day. It was a big wing grip that had stereo speakers built in with a small amp. It was quite a statement (and loud as all get-out).
Interesting! I will have to look into this accessory!
I was curious to find it again so I did some digging.
I don't know the name anymore unfortunately, but this auction on ebay has one. It's the big pink grip with the stereo cable coming out of it.

The full set in the thumbnail looks like some weapon out of Breath of the Wild, with all the ropes and ties.
bro what have u done
I pimped it! You no likey?
Brandon Salt it looks bad ass but idk if I'd want those extra attachments. consider back lighting it
The link doesnt work. Where else can I buy this?
Is replacing a shell hard? I'm thinking of doing it for my SP.
you should also pimp a oldschool PSP
Bia Crashonauta PSP is not that old...
I know that, Sherlock
he meant the first psp version broe
large_cat IK
But It isn't that old to call it oldschool
whatever you say, man
Painted over the light...
Genius!
It looks like a orange game boy advance that someone tried to spray paint it brown but didn’t finish
Possibly but I think the shell was originally black.
I mean it looks bad
The steampunk shell you used to replace looks a little bit bigger than the original black one. I think that is your problem.
where did you bought gameboy i had one sp but it is broken plz say the site
eBay
LETS GO ALL THE WAY! PIMP THE SWITCH!
I literally just saw ur pimp my gameboy video last night and subbed, now today u make this
You joined at the perfect time. Thanks Jesse! :D
Where did you buy this? I want one
That looks awesome, kind of feel like it needs to be displayed!
Haha, I need a glass container and a spotlight to be constantly on it. 😂
Hey how did you get the rechargeable battery
Be careful with the Gameboy--You'll probably never know what will happen if you don't be careful with it.
From what I'm seeing your going by order so I'm guessing your gonna do a ds next and maybe a dsi and 3ds
Mmmm, i've been a bit out of order I went. GBC, SP, Original GB now GBA. ;)
Looks awesome, but you should get a backlight
Pimp my game boy yet doesn't even replace the screen with a back lit one. Why even bother.
the nostalgia lol also had a worm light and a grabbing pad with mine as a teen lol
I took apart a GBA i bought off someone to clean it, and i forgot to put the LED diffuser back in so i had to tear it down again
Ah. It's Radica. That's a pretty official company, so I'd trust it.
Does anyone know where I can obtain that rechargeable grip?
YAY! I've been waiting for this video for ages!
Haha, enjoy buddy. :)
Why is the propose of pimp it up, if you don't add a backlight hack to it. There are so many videos about it.
it looks like you were putting the GBA in upside down with the light accessory that broke
Makes a video pimping GBA
-doesn't install backlight
-doesn't even have bloody screwdriver in his house
upside down and you got leather taking up space on the battery section
Fight me, the fuchsia advance is amazing to look at
Love your vids Brandon!!! Truly amazing!
Thanks a bunch Ember!
6:04 why do you need a wormlight for an sp
No idea xD
i just can suggest you the Ags 101 mod. Did bild it just few weeks ago by myself and its awsome! the displays a easy to buy on Aliexpress for around 35 usd plus 10 for the right matching cable, i suggest you the version what can change the brightness
Thanks for the heads up Rob!
you are welcome

Would love to see more videos showing examples of other peoples custom handhelds.!:D
interesting concept indeed!
I Have Been Waiting! Awesome Video!
i did the same thing to my screwdriver. i used a file to cut into it to repaire the tip
worm lights only worked with gb/gbc games would not have enough power if you play gba games
10 years later: Pimp my Nintendo Switch
wut wiz the rechargeable battery??
If you're modding anyway, why not put in a backlit screen?
how do you identify what gba game it is without the sticker?
I dont think you can unless you start playing it?
i don't have a gba. i was just at a yard sale and bought ruby, sapphire, and some unidentified game for $2.
can you play on this game boy advance pokemon silver
Wait why did you change your name
Is there a backlight
how much do u what for it
This is amazing, i need ..who can buy this case ?
you put the gamester harness on upside down XD
FUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!
R.I.P my game boy advance
I loved the game boy advanced. I had it as a kid and loved it so fucking much
bro when are the giveaway winners announced?
+Corn The Prawn Winner was announced via the email you signed up with. :)
Brandon Salt oh ok rip I didnt win
that's perfectly fit in Fallout game
Sega game gear pimp
Pimp an actual Sega game?
Brandon Salt I think he means Game Gear
Yes Game Gear sorry autocorrect
Do Pimp My Nintendo Switch
No no no no. Lets give him a challenge. Pimp My Nintendo 3DS XL.
pimp a 3DS if you can. I dunno what they'd have for it but I'd like to see what could be done
it'll be better if that have a custom made gba with backlit screen plus that case with rechargable battery pack.
Maybe next time ;)
Nope its not a fake but just not made correctly. -From a gameboy pro
the game boy advance has survived the nuclear war try to pimp out the Sega game gear
Yes, I love the Sega Game Gear!
Looks like a new Pip-Boy
0:49 love that mic pop!
Thanks for watching man!
Man the days when accessories were essential to handhelds,*sigh* those were the days.
Those were the days indeed. :S
That case is literally a burnt metal case for the game boy, art enthusiasts these days
Where do i get the worm light?
Try eBay. :)
I have tried but all of them that i find are either from china and will take 2 months to come and are really expensive
HOLY SHED THIS LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
are you sure you're putting it on the right way?
Where can i get this ?
etsy. :)
is it heavy?
Nah not really!
Imagine playing advance wars on this.
If you REALLY would have wanted to pimp out your GBA... you should have modded the screen with a AGS-101, the Glass Scratch resistant screen, and the upgraded amp for the speaker. You wouldn't have had to worry about the "worm light" Nice paint job though
How much
Damn I'm early, better make a joke.
My sense of humor.
