The GBA Consolizer (Game Boy Advance) - Three GB generation's games on TV

[Blue Lou]

This popped up on my Youtube recommendations.

Someone (called 'Woozle') has made a kit that allows Game Boy Advance games to be played using a SNES controller and displayed via HDMI in 720p on modern tvs. Unfortunately, it involves taking apart a Game Boy Advance and putting the components into another case and then connecting to the device.

It plays Game Boy, Game Boy Colour and Game Boy Advance games.





Both reviews are favourable but it seems a little pricey to me ($140 USD). It seems like such an interesting idea.

I'm going to get a kit at some point and do this. It's too cool.

So cool, wish the output wasn't locked to 720p though.

It's a pretty similar kit to the hi-def-nes where it upclocks the system just enough to get its refresh rate to conform with modern displays, such a clever idea.

I was leaning between this and a Retron 5 and, based on my ability level, I'm getting the Retron. I watched some comparisons and I think I can better deal with the slightly worse output than potentially fuck up the kit, lol.

So uh, isn't this basically that Gamecube accessory?

I'm tempted by this, but I've already got a Gameboy Player and Gameboy Interface on my Gamecube. Doesn't look like it's that much of a difference.

Same here, already had pretty much all the components besides a card reader so went that route instead of spending $150+. What is your setup if I can ask? I'm doing GBI through Swiss through Carby.

I just boot directly to GBI, and run component cables either directly to my TV or to my Framemeister.

Shout out to MLiG. One of the best gaming channels out there.
