= Dual Boy SP = The Dual Boy SP is a mod kit made for the Nintendo Game Boy SP by YouTuber: Elliot Coll from “The Retro Future”. It started out as a joke, and later became one of his most memorable system modifications. It became so popular, in fact, that he had 50 kits produced that would make this mod easy for whoever wanted to try it for themselves. This mod gives the Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP two screens, one on top of the other. There is no practical reason for doing this, other than the fact that it looks cool. There were only fifty kits ever produced and sold, and they were sold out in a matter of days for £30.00 ($40.05 U.S.) per kit. With the kit containing nothing but a sub-par 3D-printed shell, and a bare-bones motherboard, one would say this is a highly-overpriced mod. However, if you take into consideration that each of these kits were hand-crafted by Elliot’s friend: Matthew Whitehead, the price begins to make sense. Elliot has stated that he received no money from the kits as he wanted to make them as cheap as possible for people. Soon after these kits were sold, many people began to post on his twitter with photos and short videos of completed kits. Perhaps in the future these systems may become a rare collector’s item. On the other hand, he may consider mass producing these kits, making any current systems just one among many. With the kit currently out of production, and with no sign of producing any more, the only way of performing this mod would be to carefully solder the contacts on one screen to another, therefore branching the signal from the motherboard to two different screens. Elliot performed this near-impossible task over many hours with many problems along the way. Unless your soldering abilities are far above average, it is unlikely you will be able to perform such a surgery on this system.
