• Disassemble your Game Boy Advance SP
• Desolder and remove crystal X1
• Place the GBAccelerator on the PCB between the ARM processor and the cartridge connector as shown in diagram
• Make connections as shown in diagram
• Reassemble your GBA-SP

Installation Tips:

• Do not take the GBA-SP screen apart; it is only necessary to disassemble the base
• You may need to use some electrical tape between the GBAccelerator and the cartridge connector to prevent accidental contact
• Use low-wattage, fine-tipped soldering iron
• Use flux or rosin-core solder
• Don't hold the iron on the GBAccelerator or the GBA board too long as you may lift the solder pad
• 30-gauge wire is recommended
• Follow wire routing indicated in diagram so wires don't cross white areas, screw holes, or tall components
• Cut off excess wire length
• The three button connections on the GBAccelerator are interchangeable; it does not matter which one goes to which button
• If alternate button assignments are desired, see button signal list for available connection points
• You may need to trim some of the plastic standoffs from the back cover of the GBA-SP if the cover does not seat properly upon reassembly
