plexistar and myself successfully installed the new Gameboy Advance Afterburner backlight this weakened. Not the easiest thing to install, hacking up the case and soldering was unnerving. But it looks fantastic. plexistars arrived on Friday and mine should be arriving any day, just glad I got to watch plexistar do his first :D

I read about that earlier this year. http://www.portablemonopoly.com/ lead the field to design that. That is one of the best ideas anyone has came up with.

You can also buy the GBA with the Afterburner already installed

If you don't have a GBA go out and buy one with a back light, they're great

The GBA runs for about 9 hours with the 2 double A's . With the after burner ,on full power,(because you have a dimmer switch) it runs for about 8 hours. the loss of one hour is ok by me :D
