Received this great walkthrough from Andreas who is in Germany :) I asked him about a possible alternative to the 5 1/4" floppy, but he hasn't come up with anything yet. What a creative idea!
"Some weeks ago I modded my light shield with the white led, the mod works great. But it was a bit annoying that there is so much glare on the screen.
I saw Andy�s idea of painting some parts of the clear plastic, but I don�t like to paint my gba. So here�s my idea to reduce the glare on the screen:"
What you need:
- An old 5 1/4 inch floppy disk from a home computer (e.g. Commodore C64 or an XT PC. BE CAREFUL! You�ll lose all the data stored on the disk because you cut it later)
- A sharp knife
- A light shield to fix the glare reducer
So let�s begin:
1. Open the floppy disk, be careful not to damage the plastic which protects the magnetical disk. Put out the magnetical disk, you don�t need it anymore.
2. Cut out the part shown on picture "disk" Picture 1
3. Cut the holes for the link port and for fitting the light shield into the gba case (picture "holes"). Use a ruler to check the correct size and position for the holes. Picture 2
4. Crack the part to a 90-degree-angle at the yellow line shown in picture Picture 3
5. Put this plastic device on your gba and fix it with the light shield.
That�s all! Now you can play in deepest night without any glare above the actual "play screen". Overview picture
Thanks Andreas!
