how much was an gba in 2001 in your country?. we dont have official nintendo shop or factory so it is imported expensive. Wish it for my chilhood but never get it from parents.
For me the deal breaker would be the label on the A and B buttons being straight, while the label on the case right beneath the buttons is at an angle. I't looks so damn crooked (and is redundant, too)! Shoulda just left the buttons blank like on an SNES controller!
Oh, I know my advance SP is in poor condition and I wanted to change the shell and it seems very straight forward for me and I’ve never done anything like that. Might go for a rayquaza green shell or something
The think about coloring the shoulder buttons is in alot fo SNES games Nintendo ported, alot of those games just didn't use the shoulder so they moved the funcitons of X and Y to L and R so in that way coloring the shoulders could be a suddle nod to this fact.
Cool case, but they made one big oversight: stamping the "A" and "B" letters into the buttons is redundant and makes it look stupid because they're already printed right on the shell beneath were the buttons got. To make it even worse, the stamped letters are straight, while the printed letters are at an angle, which makes the buttons seem as if they were crooked. they should have left those two buttons blank like on the og SNES controller!
@@legojarjarbinks2564 If you're going to spend the time and money just to put a different shell on your gba, little details will bug you since that's kind of the whole point
That weird grey part is probably put the to make it look like its connected to the back of the shell, some SP models had this, like the Kingdom Hearts one.
Last night there were two British listings on Ebay selling GBA SNES shells (with screwdrivers and other accessories) One listing had 10 shells for sale, one had 4 shells for sale. One of the listings is now completely sold out, and the other is down to one shell left for sale as of 2:00pm 25/8/2019. You created a mini-surge of sales for those sellers, hah. I got one myself.
Mate you have now gotten me into collecting game boys. I recently bought a gbc atomic purple (the one I had as a child) for $89.95 aud. For reference that is around £50.15.
Hey Elliott, just found your account and binged so many of your vids haha, great work. For some reason I can't shake the feeling I recognize you from somewhere lol. You have inspired me to start modding like I planned to years ago! Just ordered this shell for my first project!
Last time I went looking for disassembly of a gba sp everything pretty much said you couldn't remove the hinges without breaking the old shell... That's what kept me from doing a shell swap!
zipzopbeesopdro that’s actually pretty white compared to most SNES I’ve seen, I wouldn’t retrobright one unless I consider it legitimately and significantly yellow, and that one isn’t :)
looks quite nice for a SNES, plus it yellowed uniformly. most SNES have some shell parts (often the middle part with the logo) yellow extremely much, while the other parts only yellowed quite moderately. just like mine.
I’ve been getting into changing the console shells of my Nintendo handheld systems. I want an GBA SP so badly, but they’re expensive! Especially since I don’t have a job!
Well, the grays ain't exactly wrong when you consider that right there on the inside, it says "Super Famicom", and *NOT* "Super Nintendo Entertainment System"; the UK units were basically the Japanese shell molds (console & cartridge) in the fugly US colors. Japan had different, warmer shades of gray in addition to the cool rainbow buttons, while everywhere else had the muted colder shades of gray with the two-tone purple buttons. (In the US, we got stuck with the brick lookin' crap instead of the original molds because some dimwit at or working with Nintendo of America thought it looked better and "less like a toy" - check out Lady Decade's video about why the US Snes "is so ugly"; apparently, they'd got rid of him by the time the Super Famicom Junior got adapted as the second model Snes, since the console shell was largely the same mold everywhere this time...)
People keep saying the Gameboy Advance is a portable Super Nintendo yet Nintendo themselves used a regular NES as the shell for the Gameboy Advance SP and they never did an SNES variant
I've put together two of these third party shells and both have suffered from rotating button stickiness. Has anyone experienced and fixed this problem?
You are joking about the LED lens but in my GBA replacement shell it was clear, while the original one was like frosted/blurred. So the original was actually better :p
I've got a NES shell on a SP and it looks smart,to have this SNES one as well would be a perfect match, I might leave the grey original buttons on this one to make it more like the controller. Although it does look smart with the coloured buttons.
I am about 3 minutes in and I just realized that he is in England and that’s why it looked like a super famicom and not what I’m used to here in the USA.
After I do this, the brightness control doesn't work. I don't think it's because I didn't put the plastic button right, but I have no idea why is this happening.
How’s the quality of the shell? Is it comparable to the aftermarket clear gba sp shells or is it a usual cheap feeling one? Great video by the way, was waiting for somebody to use this shell after seeing it on eBay.
My experiences with any shell that had printing on so far is that they are pretty good. I had the cheaper shells in a black and a red set before and they were decent. I got a smokey transparent and 2 of the NES edition too and those are excellent.
When I saw the title I thought it meant playing SNES games on the GBA SP
I thought it meant putting the Gameboy hardware into a SNES type case and hooking it up to a TV.
I thought he meant forcing a snes cartridge into his game boy without any modifications and seeing if it would do anything
Peyton Wisdom reminds me of when that one guy hacked the bump off a 3DS cart and shoved it in a DS lite
@@peaber69 like on the Simpsons episode with Stan Lee putting the hulk in the batmobile, "he's fitting right now"
@@peaber69 I don't know why but this comment made me laugh a lot !
I’m a huge fan of the SP and SNES. Having two in one? Amazing!
I completely agree!

I noticed that thing on Ali too! I've ordered it instantly already when I saw it last week.
Thanks for this video, I was curious for the end result.
I love the 3DS’ Super Nintendo shell, but it was a shame we never got an SNES cover for an SP.
Yeah that one is really nice too.
@@TheRetroFuture maybe there could have been a nes version
@@oli72803 there was actually a NES Version GBA SP released, it's very rare to find an authentic one though these days
Thanks TRF, my order came in very fast (4 days) en did the replacement build yesterday, loving it ! (also with the help of this video)
Hi
What’s the quality like of the shell?
I absolutely love this shell replacement, but I will say that the double logo on the screen is a bit weird.
For me the deal breaker would be the label on the A and B buttons being straight, while the label on the case right beneath the buttons is at an angle. I't looks so damn crooked (and is redundant, too)!
Shoulda just left the buttons blank like on an SNES controller!
Holy jesus man i havent watched your channel in two years and i forgot your channel name. Im kinda happy i found it again
My daughters shell is knackered, been super glued numerous times so this will be a good upgrade, thanks.
Oh, I know my advance SP is in poor condition and I wanted to change the shell and it seems very straight forward for me and I’ve never done anything like that. Might go for a rayquaza green shell or something
“Replace your gb sp housing with a new snes inspired housing” rather
Boohoo lol
facts tho
The guys a little sausage thinking he’s something with these crappy title videos
I have the OG SNES. My uncle gave it to me a few days ago. He bought it second handed 15 years ago. I am now 12.
@Mike AKA Patches yeh. I got starwing a few days ago and it was £4
Also my uncle got 3 other games when he got the SNES.
Mayor Yoshiboy That’s awesome, these classic 16 bit consoles are awesome! I recently dig mine out too
When I did mine with NES shell I've finished it applying hot air on the original sticker and then reaplied on the refurbished unit.
Ain't there already a NES version of the GBA SP?
@@MeneerMattie I think so? I'm not entirely sure though.
A gbasp into a SNES theme? Where do I sign up?

How could such a minute detail offset you so much, they're just some damn letters

Dude, I recently did exactly the same shell swap a couple of days ago! How coincidental!
Good taste!
Toon link looks both board and impressed by something according to your Profile pic.
That weird grey part is probably put the to make it look like its connected to the back of the shell, some SP models had this, like the Kingdom Hearts one.
That is a really nice shell, I do a lot of mods did not know that was out. Thank you
Looks awesome! Best to do it on a beat up / cracked shell, but I'm sure you'll use it for another project.
I still can’t get over how nice the original shells for the SNES were compared to what we got in the US.
I'm in love with that shell. A must have!

Seen a guy on a Facebook gameboy group do this. Looks pretty sweet
The Dark grey actually matches the original Snes pretty well.
You don't know how much I been waiting for this to come out lol
Two years, seven months, five days, twenty minutes and four seconds.

Love the design
You should have put the game boy tester in it to test the buttons plus I wanted to see if it would work on a GBA
Instructions unclear, turned my phone into a loaf of bread stapled on a tree.
Good to see a reddit user , I top my Fedora for you
r/breadstapledtotrees
Ah, by the title, I thought you where actually gonna put SNES games in the Gameboy.
Finally the shell for my AGS-101! 👌👍
Even though i like the design of the American snes better, i think this actually looks good.
LukaGaming sorry for saying this 3 months late but you don’t know how happy you made me not calling the European Snes the famicom
I’ve been getting into changing the console shells of my Nintendo handheld systems. I want an GBA SP so badly, but they’re expensive! Especially since I don’t have a job!
Did you know you can put a dsi battery in the gameboy advanced sp for longer battery life and game play
That sounds great, but does it have any adverse effects on the electronics in the Gameboy? I wanna try this, but I don't wanna break my SP
Just DSi, or does it work with a DS lite battery too?
DS Phat battery not DSi...
NecromancerAdr ds lite batterie no
Thicc Squirrel I’ve been doing it for a while and it’s still good
You should do a refurbish video of that SNES with some retrobright and stuff!
SP always being realy Nice like a foldable phone from the 2000s
Now I HAVE to buy a shell like this one!
I had to buy one too, this stuff is like a drug..

Hello May I ask how the plastic from the snes case feels like? is it cheap or like nintendo cases? Thanks in advance
Great video as always 👍🏻❤️
Just did an AGS-101 screen mod on my GBA!! 😋
Ok..................
I found a gamecube shell for gba and it looks amazing
I just use my actual gamecube as a GBA and my sp as a controller.
People keep saying the Gameboy Advance is a portable Super Nintendo yet Nintendo themselves used a regular NES as the shell for the Gameboy Advance SP and they never did an SNES variant
inside part wasn't very nice, but the outside was very nice, like the 3DS sfc/snes versions !
Great stuff! Keep it up!
Thank you!
I've put together two of these third party shells and both have suffered from rotating button stickiness. Has anyone experienced and fixed this problem?
I like how for the same price as an advance sp, I could buy a pokémon edition 2ds... Rip....
It’s a good thing to have amazing condition hand me downs, that’s how I got all my handheld consoles except my 3ds, someone gifted it to me
Put a Raspberry Pi into that case and you can play NES/SNES games.

I have it in the drawer waiting for hinges to change the case, it's great
Nice one! Good luck!
I am about 3 minutes in and I just realized that he is in England and that’s why it looked like a super famicom and not what I’m used to here in the USA.
Wow nice case i love it 😍
Bought this shell and omg! The hinges nearly destroyed me, cant build this at all
I just pre ordered a Pokémon switch lite and I so want this
Yay! He said my country, Australia
remember to watch the WHOLE video first then rewatch and do it along
you don’t know how much i want this
Eng:Nice instrucinoss thank you minster
Pl:miłe instrukcje dziękuję bardzo panu za pokazanie ich
That looks very good!👌🏽
Kind off a bummer the lens still says Gameboy Advance
i’m so hyped right now i have my gba sp next to me, i’m going to make sure i get that shell somehow
Do a video about deyellowing that SNES.
At the start you mentioned that it was an Australian AGS101 but Australia never got the AGS101, only the AGS001.
After I do this, the brightness control doesn't work. I don't think it's because I didn't put the plastic button right, but I have no idea why is this happening.
This thing looks gorgeous.
Any chance of you doing a reshell of a psp 3000?
I've recently found these too! Is that a some kind of new thing? And dang playing Super Mario Advance 2 - Super Mario World on this pme would be cool!
I think so!
I wish I had an ags101 I got one but the store I went to only had the ags001
Talk about first world problems. (This was not meant to be an offense. it was meant to be a joke. ignore this parenthesis part)
We name it a Super Famicom SP
That Super Nintendo neeeeeeeds refurb video :)

They really should've called the shell "famicom advanced"
You miss the back sticker
The SNES, SNES Mini and SNES Mini Mini
how can i put super nintendo games in my R4SDHC for my nintendo 2DS Xl ?
Amo tus videos Retro Future, aunque entienda poco y nada de ingles :)
I did this mod but I can't find where to put the snes cartridge?
Great video... thank you!
I love GBA sp But I have yet To find a SP 3rd party shell that feels good.
I think it is down to the hinge.
That's so cool a ds one would also be cool
How do i turn the game boy sp into an original tan gameboy style?
Should be called GBA SP case mod(SNES styled)
Great video mate, tho I've never been a fan of consoles pretending to be another console if you get me 🤔
I love the design seen them cheap on AliExpress I bought purple mario design but want one of these as well
Absloutely. Fucking. Awesome! Sign me up for that!
You should do some 3ds shell swaps
I have done a couple!
