GBA SP EXPANSION KIT! | More Space to Fit Wireless Charging and a Larger Battery! | Retro Renew

In today's episode of Retro Renew, I continue my efforts in adding wireless charging capability to the Gameboy Advance SP using a CUSTOM DESIGNED EXPANSION KIT. Be sure to check out Part 1 and 2:

Part 1:    • PART 1:  ADD WIRELESS CHARGING TO ANY...  .
Part 2:    • PART 2:  ADD WIRELESS CHARGING TO ANY...  

In Part 1 and 2 of this video I tried to find space to add the wireless charging capability to the Gameboy Advance SP. Unfortunately, there is very limited space and sacrifices had to be made in order to fit the wireless charging module. So in today's episode of Retro Renew, instead of making sacrifices and trying to find extra space for mods, we’re going to MAKE space with this expansion add-on mod. This kit will give us the extra space to easily add a LARGER capacity battery and the wireless charging module! Join me and let’s take a closer look!
