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 Andyīs idea of painting some parts of the clear plastic, but I donīt like to paint my gba. So hereīs 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! Youīll 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 letīs begin:
1. Open the floppy disk, be careful not to damage the plastic which protects the magnetical disk. Put out the magnetical disk, you donīt 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.
Thatīs all! Now you can play in deepest night without any glare above the actual "play screen". Overview picture
Thanks Andreas!
