Has anyone ever tried one? I am getting a GBA SP so ill be willing to void my warrenty..lol

I think a red LED would look cool behind each button, and lites up when you press it (my GBA is clear...so I can see the LEDs)

Getting an After Burner would be cool to.

GBA SPs are backlit, so you don't need an afterburner. They're a pain in the ass to install, anyway (although I wouldn't trade mine for anything). The LED thing would be easy, assuming that the button switch circuits have enough power to run the things. Your best bet for that would be getting one of those tiny cell phone LEDs that look more like those little onboard resistors than anything else. They're the only things that I'd think wouldn't slow or interrupt the current enough to be noticable. You'd just simply cut the trace where you want to install the light and solder it on. If all of the conditions are met, it'd be that simple.

I think they meant they are getting a Gameboy Advance SP, so now they are free to hack into their old gameboy advance.

Actually, GBASPs are FRONTlit, not backlit...
