There’s good news for everyone who’s been drooling over updates Very thick Game Boy Advance SP that we shared last month but he lacked skills needed to build their. Macho Nacho Productions, the team that created it, has revealed plans to produce and sell an upgrade kit so that (almost) everyone can mod your own GBA SP.
The upgrade replaces the back layer of the GBA SP with a considerably larger alternative that adds space for hardware upgrades, including a larger battery, a wireless charging coil, a standard headphone jack (because Nintendo forced the players to use an adapter cable to use headphones) and Bluetooth audio capabilities, so you can also use wireless headphones. The upgrade also added a bit of extra volume to the GBA SP, which reduced portability, but actually made it easier to hold the hand for the damned with bigger hands.
Last week, through his YouTube channel, Male Nacho Productions, revealed an updated version of the mod that not only included an even larger battery, but a streamlined design that leverages a custom-designed flexible ribbon cable that makes it easy to upgrade. As a result, its creators believe they have a product that can be released into the Game Boy modding community and have decided to officially sell what is now known as Thicc Boi SP.
Once the current prototype is perfected and perfected, Macho Nacho Productions plans to follow the path of crowdfunding – through a site like Kickstarter – to raise the funds needed to pay for the expensive plastic injection molds that will be used to produce the spare rear housings from ABS plastic. , instead of printing them in 3D, to make them look more professional. There are still a few months left, but the Thicc Boi SP will also include a monstrous 4,500 mAh rechargeable lithium polymer battery (approximately 7.5 times larger than the one Nintendo originally included), which is good for almost 20 hours of life , even to a modified GBA SP with a modern LCD screen.
However, while the refined version of the Thicc Boi SP promises to be a simpler upgrade, it will still require some basic welding knowledge to connect the custom ribbon cable to specific points on the original GBA SP motherboard. Unfortunately, not only is it a plug-and-play update, but once Thicc Boi SP is available, you can probably expect it other modders sell completed GBA SP updates if you don’t trust yourself to get the job done yourself.
