Fans of the Game Boy Advance who prefer the SP's clamshell form factor generally find the AGS-101 to be the best experience. But this IPS screen kit can make your SP look even better!

It’s a great mod. But would advise the following: 1. Hinges- While closed, move the holding clips in slightly using a small plastic driver ( so not to scratch them) Move the shell to the open position and then push the hinges out, they will then come out intact and without issue. Keep left for left and right for right. Then push the hinges in to the new shell while it is in the open position ( open position ensure they slide in without fuss and without snapping your case) 2. Cable - the cable should be wrapped round in the other direction to ensure there is no snagging. 3. Power- it uses way more power than the frontlit model. You’ll be looking at around 3.5hrs on the mid brightness setting. Frontlit gave around 8hrs.

Please pin this! I see SO many people damaging the hinges because they don't remove/replace them while the screen and body are open.

WARNIING: coming from someone who's done a ton of these mods. The replacement hinges may not support the caps from the shell. Cutting inside the caps may be necessary. Example, scroll through: instagram.com/p/CCt9cmXnAoG/ 4:24 that's the wrong way to install the hinges. The screen has to be installed in it's open position otherwise it can break the plastic. See link above. They will slide in nicely if done correctly.

I just completed this mod and have a few pointers during reassembly: 1. Inserting new hinges can be a nightmare and the caps are easily damaged. What worked for me was to insert 3/4 of the way and open the screen to the normal viewing angle. Then pushed them in bracing against a soft piece of wood that's covered. Once popped in I could finish with my thumb. 2. Watch the soldered wire placement when assembling. The wire tends to want to lay over the button membranes. 3. The square nut for the battery door likes to fall out or push out easily when closing the battery door which means another disassembly. 4. The power switch can get out of alignment during assembly so keep an eye on that. I slid it to its mid position and aligned the plastic slider over it while on the button side of the unit, not the final back cover.

Thanks for the video/tutorial! A couple of things I noticed after completing my build: 1. The supplied membranes are junk. They are too thin and allow the A and B buttons to rotate under the shell and get stuck. Ended up swapping my originals back in. 2. The supplied screws are also junk. The heads strip way too easily. Definitely reuse your original screws (including the one for the battery door). 3. Don't forget to install the little female square that the battery door screw screws into under the bottom shell half. If you forget, you'll have to go back in, which means removing (and reinstalling) the 6 tri-wing screws, which further weakens the plastic threads in these cheap aftermarket shells.

I figured the cost of assembly, plus the cool printed box for it, and the neoprene sleeve and shipping was $20 and way worth it. I just recently ordered an IPSv2 kit for one of my AGS 001 units.

@jvogler_art4708 3 жыл бұрын

for me personally i prefer the retro look of the 101. I was comparing pokemon emerald and the title image is so crisp on the IPS that you can see the dithering on the title screen. With the 101, there is such a low amount of PPI that it creates a scanline esque effect, making the dithering appear to be a blended image. Thus all sprites don't appear as much like a mosaic of pixels but rather a complete drawn image. The IPS wins in color clarity and saturation though by far. No comparison there. But it also sucks up more power and has a lower battery life. I think there are pros and cons to each and i am happy to own both an IPS and an AGS. I think the IPS makes me kinda feel like i'm playing on an emulator while the AGS makes me feel like i'm playing on the real deal... Even though the IPS is running native hardware and not emulating at all.

I think to a keen eye, IPS screens have a long way to go to match the consistent quality of the AGS-101 screen. The sharpness, size, and pixel response are a step up from the 101, but I just can't get over the issues that MLiG has pointed out. With more revisions of the cable assembly, I think this could legitimately replace 101 screens.
