I got a GBA, was all happy. Then GBA-SP came out. My GBA seems old. So I want to touch it up a bit.

Does anyone know a good replacement LCD for the GBA?
The GBA has an easy latch on cable so it is possible to change LCDs. Problem is finding the compatible LCD.

I have a 64-MB USB flash card for storing stuff from the pc's hd to the memory.

I also have an 8-MB GBA flash cart.

Is it possible to:

1) Make a link cable into a USB port extend cable.
2) Use the 8 MB flash cart to load data from the pc 64-MB USB flash card.

I would also like links having to due with doing stuff to old systems.
Like my N64 is in the garbage having no use, but would I like to put the MIPS cpu to good use with not a lot of $$ spent.

I wouldn't recommend it. For best results, get an A-A' cable with the USB logo such as this one.

Try the Game Wallet.

Try a Google search on $CONSOLE homebrew, such as N64 homebrew.
