Guys I have came across these two products:
GBA accelerator:
http://www.aheadgames.com/xcart/customer/p...&cat=403&page=1
GBA sound amplifier:
http://www.aheadgames.com/xcart/customer/p...&cat=403&page=1

Anyone try these?
How hard is opening up the gaeboy and when put back does it esly come back to it's original state?
Are these things dangerous?

I was thinking they could be great for viewing high image quality movies without slowdown,listening MP3'S,or maybe for better emmulation.

Did anyone here try these items?

The guys who created and work on SNES advance (loopy and flubba I think) sanctioned the GBAccelerator for SNES advance and I trust them. They tend to know what they're doing.

The sound thing I don't recognize.
But I've seen pics of the GBAccelerator being installed and it closes quite easily. All you'd need is a tri-wing screwdriver to get in. I have one and you can open most gameboy products with it.

EDIT: I've looked into it and they both seem reliable. I don't know if oyu can fit both into the system at once but I imagine they're respond to your e-mails if you ask nicely.
Although the accelerator just bumps the cpu up from 30mhz to 32mhz. If you really think 2mhz are worth $30 then by all means go for it.

It's 16 to 32.  Not 30 to 32.
