You asked, and we listened. The unhinged is now the MINI Unhinged. This next generation smaller Mini Unhinged set transforms the Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP with our signature Boxy Pixel aluminum design. This is shorter, thinner and still retains the brightness button (included with button set).
Features
- Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Compatible with a used SP and upgraded IPS screen
- Built-in Functionality: Integrated space for optional type C charge board. We plan to design a PCB to fit this in the future. We include a plug to fill the type-C hole.
- Expanded Battery Capacity: Accommodates a stock battery size only.
- Comfortable: Rounded back for comfort
Includes
- One GBA Mini unhinged shell set
- Fasteners Included
Warnings and Considerations
- Modification Requirements: Certain modifications, such as adding optional components or adjusting settings, may require additional tools or expertise.
- Attachment Limitations: While designed to retain access to key ports, some larger attachment modules may not fit within the housing's dimensions.(eg Gamecube adapter)
- We have updated front buttons that includes a revised brightness buttons. The previous generation unhinged buttons will not fit this
Other parts required:
Mini Unhinged Metal buttons - Our custom buttons are taller
Original Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP (any version)
Plastic power switch and volume slider plastic
Wire (28-30 awg recommended) Optional if wiring in a type-C

Notes
These parts are not mass produced and we use multiple machine shops, so surface finish, texture, and color may vary between batches. Colors may also look different depending on your screen, the lighting, and variations in anodizing.
Please be sure to review our refund policy for cancelled and returned orders.
We cannot change the value of the shipment and sadly we do not have control over your particular country's fee/tariffs/taxes.
Brass parts come as machined and may show oxidation/discolor (due to being exposed to air) and some small machining or small scratches may be present. Assume you will need to do your final surface finishing using a flexible 3M sanding pad. (The 3M 7448 usually works well). After polishing, clean and apply clearcoat, poly, or other coating to maintain the shine. Note Brass is also very dense (heavy) and conductive. Consider in some applications, these attributes may have adverse effects. (ex. The SP hinges will not support the screen as well). If used with electronics, it is advisable to use kapton tape, insulating paint, (nail polish may work) to prevent electrical shorts.
