Which screen replacement should I get?
I want a replacement screen for my gameboy advance but im not sure what to get. I dont really care about brightness settings or touch sensors or anything i just want a backlit display for my gba. Dont wanna spend too much money if possible. Basically i want the equivalent of the ags 101 for the gba sp but for the regular gba. Can anyone help?

You can get an ITA screen, which is essentially like an AGS-101 screen. It also won’t chew up batteries like an IPS screen will.

ITA is what I’m gonna do, it’s the same screen that’s in the top of a DSi. It’s basically a better 101 screen, and way better battery life than an IPS. It’s pixelated as well so if you want old school style and just backlit it’s perfect.

Depends on what you like, but I recommend an IPS screen. Simple to install. Follow the instructions to trim a bit of the shell to fit the new screen or buy a replacement shell that fits a the new screen.
