Game Boy Enhance (AGBM-01)

This is the Game Boy Enhance - a circuit recreation of the original Game Boy Advance, utilizing the power of modern hardware to augment the original system (using the CPU and RAM harvested from a donor console).

The AGBM-01 uses AA batteries and the LTC3527 converter. See the GitHub for other versions of the AGBM with different power options.

What separates this from a regular modded system, or one of those fancy Funnyplaying GBA boards? Well, here's a quick run-down:

• The audio on the AGBM is crystal clear, not dependent on whatever screen kit is being used, and has stereo output on the headphone jack (unlike the FP GBA) - listen to the audio samples in the Wiki
• The AGBM draws ~150mW less than the FP GBA (even with the fancy LEDs off) - this equates to anywhere between 1 to 4 hours more playtime depending on the power draw based on your settings (like brightness level) - check out the battery curves page in the Wiki
• The AGBM is also more efficient than using an original GBA board with a screen kit installed in almost all situations (again, see the Wiki for more info)
• Other than the CPU and RAM, the AGBM uses all brand-new components - even the power switch and audio jack
• The AGBM has offerings for powering through AA batteries (AGBM-0X models), or native LiPo support (AGBM-1X models)
• The AGBM includes some user-configurable hotkey features, like a soft reset button combination, or for replacing touch controls on screen kits
• The AGBM has built-in tactile switch support if you like the SP-style clicky buttons
• The power LED now flashes when the battery is within minutes of dying, like the SP did
• The original locations of button test points have been retained on the AGBM for easy compatibility with existing mods, like Nataliethenerd's ARC GBA or insideGadgets' ClockxControl - see this page on the Wiki for mod compatibility
