The Game Boy Advance meets Nintendo DS!
The YouTuber, Gameboy Custom, is well-known for creating amazing consoles, especially the GBA ones. Few days ago, he released a video where he decided to fuse a Nintendo DS with a Game Boy Advance SP. It was a rare crossover to witness as the DS was the successor to the classic GBA.
The YouTuber used two Game Boy Advance models and a Nintendo DS to form the main body for his custom creation. After getting the body for the custom handheld ready, he fitted new screens inside it. Now, all he needed to do was fit a PCB in there. But it was the trickiest part of this entire built.
He first separated the Cartridge slot from the DS circuit board. Later, the YouTuber used several wires to increase the reach of the PCB to suit the customized body. He then connected all the parts to the main DS circuit board and closed the back.
He then used a DS R4 flash Cartridge to install the ACE3DS+ firmware. This new firmware enables the user to not only play DS and Game Boy Advance titles, but also other hits like Super Nintendo, Atari, and Commodore 64. Simply put, it can be called an “Ultimate Game Boy console.”
