Question: How hard would it be to replace the screen on the GBA with a backlit OLED screen if I could ever find one with the same pin-out and dot-pitch?

If such a screen existed, it'd be pretty easy, once you've taken the gameboy apart, you'd just need to desolder the one connector.

As far as I know, such a screen does not exist.

If you want to see your game boy on an OLED, that's fine, but the image will be about 0.5cm x 0.5cm.

Resolution is key.

Not retro.

It's extremely possible to swap a GBA SP screen into an old GBA. It requires a little soldering and a slight modification to the system casing, but a lot of people do it. There are even kits on ebay with the custom ribbon cable.

I've found a GBA SP in my house, gifted to me by a friend because broken screen.

To my surprise, GBA SP are expensive even when broken. Guess I'll stick to game boy player.

Aren't they not produced anymore?

Why not just search for a model 101 GBA SP? It's already backlit.

Are they? Oh, well. Got my transparent blue a couple of years ago for $30. One of the best handhelds I own, even if the d-pad is a bit stiff.
