Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Fan turns Game Boy Advance SP into a Switch dock!

Shikamo on 24 June 2017

One fan has repurposed an old Game Boy Advance SP into a Switch dock. Alexander Blake, who had a broken system lying around, realized that the dock’s circuit board is basically the size of Nintendo’s old handheld.

All of this was done by removing what was in the GBA SP. Blake then simply transferred the parts inside of a Switch dock. Finally, a hole was carved above and inside the screen so that the port connecting to the Switch would fit and be protected.

Did he pay the required $90 to Nintendo?

That's what I thought initially, but it mentions the GBS SP was broken in the OP.

Oh then kudos to him.  I got on someone not reading the op in the Ford doesn't go to Mexico thread and now bam...  I get a taste of my own medicine.

I don't care much for the look, but kudos to him for the ingenuity! Very resourceful of him.



It'll be awhile before I figure out how to do one of these. :P
