My uneducated guess would be that you would do better to just pick up a used
one that works...cuz I'm thinking the screen may be the most expensive part
to repair. Some places might even give you a trade in discount if you trade
the broken one.

thanks... I cant decide if I want to try to fix it or just dump it on
ebay. Since I have a DS I dont really need it, but it would be fun if
I could fix it cheap.

That's interesting, I think the screen on the DS is way better... What
advantage does the SP have over the DS for you?

Hi,

With the exception of linking (never done any GBA multiplayer), pretty much
the exact same things that Ralph mentioned.

I don't get hand cramps with the SP, but occasionally do with the DS. Love
the size of the SP as well. I made a "skin-tight" Nomex "glove" for the SP
which doesn't add hardly any size to the SP but protects it from getting
banged/scratched up. I can keep it in pant's pocket, even with keys in
same pocket, without worry of damage. Lately, the only thing I do with the
SP is use it for NES and Sega Master System emulation so just carry the SP
around with only one cartridge (flash cart).

I'm with ya on the DS's screen though. Definetly much nicer than the SP.
DS just isn't as easy to toke around (at least for me) as the SP though.

Cheers,
