    But any way, I get it and found that device is pretty well done made.
    Its back casing for GBA with conectors and docking station with electronic. So you have full functional gba and in home game boy on TV.

    It's possible to duplicate electronic?
    I open it and found that are two chips on board. I think that would be neat GBA mod. For unused broken GBA or 101 donors.

    Or did someone try make own converter. I know that ist old technology and now is easier and cheaper buy raspberry for emulation .

    Here at RetroRGB they have hacked it into the gba. Maybe it's a nice place to start looking as reference. Just passing my eyes through the tutorial it looks kinda complicated.... but....

    Well, just my opinion but, I think there are easier ways to get what you want. The demand for such device is extremely low. Getting a cube with a gameboy player is way better. You can also get it in some clone consoles like the K1 GBA. Maybe those cart adapters like the Retro-Bit Super Retro Advance Adapter GBA to SNES - Super NES...
    Manufacturing a tv device would take tremenduous effort for little joy.

    Those adapters are poor choices.
    And this K1 looks interesting I don't believe that they instal tv converter.
    I read description and output its not rgb they must use extra analog converter.

    I think being a composite output, no one has bothered to clone it. Most people just go with AGS101 LCD's (which you can buy new cheap)

    I bought one and did the rgb mod. It only outputs games in 480i though which look like poop. Especially since GBA games are natively ~240p. Much better option to do gamecube+gba player. Not worth your time with this adapter or even the other one that's a tad more rare.
