    I don't see why something like this wouldn't be possible. You have three main problems to deal with:

    - Is the screen size the same or close enough to work?
    - Is there enough distance between the the actual screen and the protective screen to place the frontlight?
    - Is there enough room in the GBC to fit the other components?

    You are asking the wrong question.

    Why not?

    I saw a page years ago with an afterburner in a NGPC so I guess it's possible

    I have seen them fitted to WOnderswan's before as well, lost the link with how to do it though, as I really wanted to try it.

    koolkid, shrink that avatar please!

    I did an afterburner in my GBA and the light is kinda longish, You may have to put it on the side of the screen (up/down) instead of across the top, It may not fit normaly

    Thanks for that guys, why do i want to do it? Well simply because id like to bulid the ultimate gbc and i really love the machine. Regarding the afterburner, the can the strip lighting not be trimmed to size?

    If you know how to cut glass then sure but I wouldn't count on it.

    It'll be a tight fit I can tell ya that much.

    Glass cuttings not a problem, no? Take one glass cutter and cut away, or could get a pro (glazier) to do it, but is it still going to illuminate if i do trim it?
