Hardware > Putting GBA into DMG case

#172754 - 53x7u5 - Mon Mar 01, 2010 11:09 am

Hello everybody, im new gameboy-fan :)

The question is:
Is there any chances to put GBA hardware into DMG case? Dont know really, is it a good idea, or i am absolutely crazy about it. I cant sleep well at night because of this question. Guyz, anybody know smthng about it?

I think that putting GBA into DMG case can solve the button-layout problem for musicans that use original GB, GBC & GBP with such well-known programs like LSDJ, Nanoloop, MuddyGB, etc.

I`ve got some experience in electronics when I was at college. Not a "guru", of course, but i know what to do with soldering-iron & P-CAD software. Is it possible to "cut" original GBA pcb and paste it into DMG case with some dirty tricks? Or maybe I can trace a new one pcb in the form-factor of DMG and make it at home?

Sorry for my bad english, i live in Eastern Europe and there is no GB-GBA community. *cry* ;(
