USB C Charging board mod for Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP with 3D printed bezel | Retro robot
Features:
– Includes USB C PCB & 3D printed bezel
– Supports USB A to C & C to C cables
– 3 solder points.
– Requires internal soldering.
Description:
Charge your SP with a USB C cable and remove the need for any propitiatory cables, that only fits certain older Nintendo devices.
The simple PCB solders into the same space that the old charging port sits, and with the use of a 3D printed spacer / bezel, neatly upgrades your console with no shell cutting.
Fitting requires the desoldering of the old port and soldering of three pins on the new PCB.
The mod works with USB A to USB C cables and USB C to USB C type cables.
The remaining pins unrelated to power are still accessible with this mod fitted, allowing the option for further audio mods if required.
Credits are given to Blindeye, as this mod is based on other USB C mods that were likely inspired by, or came from the Blindeye version.
