How To: Turn a Game Boy Advance into an Old-School Miniature Arcade Cabinet

No matter how advanced technology gets, there will always be room for classic video games in the hearts of nerds everywhere. Mini arcades became very popular, as they allowed users to take arcade games on the go. As Game Boys and other mobile gaming devices appeared, the mini arcade slowly disappeared.

Metku user Japala wanted to make his old Game Boy Advance SP "look cool again," so he turned it into a mini arcade cabinet.To do this, he first took apart the Game Boy and took two of its components: the screen and the motherboard. Image via metku.net From there, he designed his own cabinet, miniaturized from the full sized dimensions to one that could fit the Game Boy screen. He then painted the cabinet and searched online for decals to decorate it. Images via metku.net Next, he began working on putting the Game Boy inside the cabinet. He purchased a mini joystick and some buttons from the internet, soldered them to the motherboard, installed a mini speaker and added a few coin doors before finishing. Images via metku.net The final result is a beautiful black miniature arcade cabinet that plays any game on the Game Boy Advance.
