unless youre talkling about completely gutting it and inserting the inards of a gba, it wont work. inserting a gba or color(one that has no notch in the corner of the game) game into an older model just prints a screen that it isnt compatible. either that or it just hangs on the nintendo logo. dont remember it was a long time ago. it might not show anything at all.

It's the LCD type. When you pass light through them from the back they wash out 100%. That, and the bulge for the batteries is stupid.
I've got.. well, too much Nintendo really. I've got:
GameBoy Original (Of which the screen is held on with vinyl because it broke many-a year ago.
GameBoy Colour: That's COLOUR. Not "Color" like it says under the screen.
GameBoy Advance with an amazing invisible screen.
DS Original: The sexiest handheld by precisely 3 furlongs.
Gotta love Ninty. If the battery life on the Nomad hadn't been an absolute toad then I might have eBay'd one of them. I wish Sega had stuck with handhelds. And consoles.
Don't ask what I mean by the Nomad's battery being a toad. I don't know either.

Does anyone remember that series of cellphone looking Sega lcd pocket games from the mid 90s. There was one with Sonic like breakout where you had to save tails, and I think another Sonic spinball one, and Ecco the dophin I believe. I can't even find one on ebay but I remember seeing them at the store all the time.
Classic GB and GB Pocket are retired.
Don't really play many games on the iPod.
GBA with afterburner mod, GBA SP, GBC (newest of my handhelds :3)
And Powerbook for portable Doomage, Quakeage and Dukeage. +spare PB battery (one of the apparently exploding ones from Sony)
PSP-2000 for GTA:LCS, DS Lite for Pokemon Pearl and GB Micro for Pokemon Ruby/FireRed are all currently in use.
All in fully working order! No dead pixels or busted buttons. And most importantly - no scratches on any screen. Prime condition!
Microsoft should really cash in on the fact that there's a bite out of the apple. "We don't give you an apple with a bite out of it, we give you the whole thing"

Only you don't get the whole thing with MS, you have to find and download other software to get the same out-of-the-box functionality of a Mac
Leaving you to find BETTER software. Apple's too busy trying to control what it's users are exposed too, by giving them free software and then trying to make it so that file formats only work on their software. And people say Microsoft tries to dominate. If I'm not mistaken, all you little Mac boys have Office and Internet Explorer, no?
