To tell which version of the SP you are holding, look on the back for the model number as it is the only external change that was made and these guys appear identical. You can play Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games on this bad-boy all with a super bright and sharp screen. If you can only have one Game Boy, the 101 is the one you want. The highest brightness setting is super bright and can be played in almost any situation. Even the lower brightness setting is twice as bright as the light from the original. The small light-on / light-off button now switches between two levels of brightness and there is no way to turn the screen light off. This is a vast improvement over the front-lit version. The weak front light for the screen on the original SP model has been replaced with a true back-lit screen. The Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP Model AGS-101 is exactly the same as the AGS-001 except for one important change. Let there be LIGHT! And there was light… and it was… GREAT. But in the dark, you can definitely play.
Which gameboy sp has brighter screen upgrade#
While this is a major upgrade from no light at all, it still is not very bright. This version of the Nintendo Game Boy SP (AGS-001) provides light to the screen basically from the front (sides). The screen itself is the same size as the original Advance model. So you could finally play the original Tetris in the dark with the new lit screen. On top of all that the Nintendo Game Boy SP will play all Game Boy games that came before it. One of the cooler things about this system though is that the screen is hinged and will close up like a clam shell (its nickname) or a flip-phone, turning into a tiny 3.25″(ish) square less than an inch thick. The SP returns to more of an original Game Boy layout with the screen up top and the controls as the bottom of the unit. Nintendo released the Game Boy Advance SP, and with it we finally got a screen with a built-in light! To go along with the very nice screen we got an awesome new utilitarian look. Let there be LIGHT! And there was light… and it was… OK.Ī couple years after the launch of the original Nintendo Game Boy Advance an amazing thing occurred. The two notches on the top are also used by some accessories for attaching to the unit.
This allows you to link multiple systems together and was used for a handful of other accessories. On the top of the unit, between the shoulder buttons is the same smaller EXT port that was introduced on the Game Boy Color. Below the cart slot is the battery compartment which houses 2 AA batteries that can supply over ten hours of play times. The game label faces outward on all carts when inserted. Even though the Game Boy Advance carts are shorter than the original Game Boy carts, they have the same size blade and will all fit in the Advance. Clicking the L or R buttons will switch the older games from being stretched to fit the new wider screen, or not stretched by placing black bars on the left and right of the game. In addition to these buttons adding functionality to new Advance games, they are used to change the screen format when playing older Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. To the right of the screen there is a red LED light that glows when the system is powered on and the A and B action buttons.Ī couple new buttons were introduced on the system, however, they are in the form of two shoulder buttons L and R located on the top left and right of the machine. On the left you have the standard D-pad and the Start and Select buttons. Unfortunatly, the lack of a backlight made it difficult to play the system in low lit areas like the Game Boys before it.ĭespite the layout change from all of the previous Nintendo handhelds, the buttons remained similar. The size of the unit was 3.2″ tall, 5.7″ wide and less than an inch thick. The Original Nintendo Game Boy Advance Model #AGB-001īigger is better…or is it? The Nintendo Game Boy Advance brought a 2.9″ reflective color LCD to the table, capable of displaying 80 more pixels than its predecessors.
