Dock Kit Almost Turns GBA Into A SWITCH

Dock Mod Almost Turns GBA Into A SWITCH

WARNING! Something that I was just made aware of is that in order to use the dock, you must first remove the batteries from the GBA! Since the dock also powers the console the batteries must be removed. I would also consider this a Con since it makes using the dock a little more inconvenient.

In today's video, I'll be installing a kit that allows the Game Boy Advance to be played by an external wireless controller via a USB-C docking station. This is ideal for an HDMI modded console and solves the problem of being tethered to the television by a thick and heavy HDMI cable. This also allows you to play the console using an external controller as opposed to being relegated to the onboard controles of the GBA. Once this mod is installed in the GBA ,and is coupled with a HDMI mod, this essentially turns the GBA into a Switch like console. So, let's take a closer look at the GBA Dock!
