Quick answer
The GBA Consolizer send-in service installs a kit that adds HDMI output to your original Game Boy Advance. You choose whether to provide your own console, kit, and case, or have us supply them.
What the Consolizer mod does
The Consolizer is a popular mod that lets you play Game Boy Advance games on modern TVs via HDMI. It replaces the original screen and adds video output while keeping original cartridge compatibility. The installation requires soldering and case modification, which is why a send-in service is a practical option if you lack the tools or confidence.
Trade-offs to consider
The biggest trade-off is that you must send your console away, and shipping costs add to the service price. Also, you need to decide upfront whether to supply your own GBA, kit, and case or let us provide them. Supplying your own can save money but requires you to have a working console and the correct parts.
Decision rules for choosing the GBA Consolizer send-in service
- What you send: You can send only your GBA console, or the console plus the Consolizer kit and case. If you don't have a kit, we can provide one. Check if you already own a Consolizer kit before ordering.
- What we do: We install the kit, test HDMI output, and return your modded console. Return shipping is calculated at checkout based on your location. Return shipping cost is separate; factor it into your total.
- What to expect for timing: Service time depends on current workload, but you will receive a notification when your console is received and when work begins. Plan ahead if you need the console back by a specific date.
