    I recently got a GBA from a friend and redid the shell (orange shell black buttons) with a super famicom glass screen protector. The shell is precut since i wanted the ips screen which was a bit of a hassle to install but well worth it. Must be pretty durable to i accidentally dropped the poor thing trying to carry it out with stuff to my car it fell about 5 feet onto a concrete patio but its totally fine after reinserting the ejected batteries lol. wood shell

    @RetroRepairs, I have a broken copy of Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble for the GameBoy Color. The game is supposed to respond to you tilting the GameBoy by moving Kirby in the direction that you tilt it, but my copy of the game doesn't work. It's in great physical condition, but the tilt function isn't working. When the game turns on, you can test the function and every time I test it, Kirby always defaults to moving to the top left corner of the screen no matter what I do. I feel like it would be a challenge, but I trust you! I would like to have it back if you can fix it, but that seems selfish, so you can keep it if you want. Ironically I bought this as refurbished from, you guessed it, GameStop! I hope you can fix it, if you want it.
