I've grown a pair and will be attempting a DMG-01 backlight mod myself.

For the price of a modded one I can afford to kill one as a practice if it so happens.

Got a nice looking transparent (1995 version) on the way.

Nice going Cools, good luck.

Anyone know if the sound mod is line out only, as I take it that it doesn't go via the volume pot?

There are multiple sound mods, some bypass the amp and others install a different amp. The typical "prosound" one is lineout on the headphone port (meaning headphones don't work anymore)

The GBAmp V3 is the one I'm going for, with a 2W speaker. This one has normal headphone behaviour (muted speaker).

Found my triwing, fixed the dodgy power switch on one GBA. Opened it up, used a bit of pressure while moving the switch left and right to clean the contacts inside - no desoldering required.

This turned out to be a bit of a barg. Hadn't realised Metal Gear Solid was a £20+ game.

One of my pink GBAs turned up too. Waiting on one more then I can order the screens.
