AGS-101 Voltage Regulator for Game Boy Advance

Our in-house voltage regulator is now available for your custom modding projects. 

On its own, the Game Boy Advance doesn’t feed the AGS-101 enough power, meaning it's not as bright as a backlit GBA SP. Our in-house VR provides the appropriate voltage and current to produce a clear backlit image. It's so bright you can even play in the full sun! With greater stability and a compact size, it's never been easier to mod your Game Boy Advance.

For more control, upgrade to our VRV2, which combines our voltage regulator with our in-house brightness controller.
