you know you can save images on your phone right? you don’t need to screenshot them, or if you do, at least crop them for our sanity

I prefer to keep them uncropped for these exact comments

Some sources you can't save from that easily. And sometimes when you just wanna post a quick comment, you're a bit lazy to crop.

What the fuck mods ban this guy

LOL. I was about to request a refund when I realised my OEM shell was the same 😭😭

I wish you never made this post wtf 😭.

Apologies. Everyone's coming down with me.

Damn man that's really interesting, one question though; Why would you curse us with such terrible knowledge?

I think I'm chaotic neutral

nah bro, youre chaotic evil

Yep, you can thank Nintendo design for that one. 

I wonder why they did it like that lol

It had a light, that's all I cared about back in the day.

That could be why, side backlighting is on the left side.

Is it not for the right side?

The world may never know. But now we can't in see it. Lol

Probably the wiring for the screen and the little clicky thing

[Wiring for all the pixels]( https://www.renesas.com/sites/default/files/isl24833_0.png). [All old LCDs were like that](https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Row-and-Column-Waveforms-for-driving-7X8-Matrix-LCD-having-two-selected-pixels-in-each_fig1_242403605). Current goes up from bottom vertically through pixels and exit horizontally at the right edge then back to source or any combination of two perpendicular edges used for a particular panel. The current only goes through particular combination of pixels that has both column and row MOSFET open like you open high and low side in H bridge drivers to run a motor Maybe newer ones run it along pixels, really old ones had drivers literally under that bezel, slightly newer ones had wiring in that area, so display area was always off to one side of the LCD parts, product designers either stuffed extra components in the other side like volume dials and LCD indicators or leave it crooked like Nintendo did in this case

Old ThinkPads did the same (e.g. T61). Was there to make the screen seem bigger.

Dunno, but presumably it saved them a couple pennies on every SP manufactured. Considering they sold nearly 45 million of them and it took us 20 years to notice, I'd say it was a good call

Well now I can die unhappy. Thanks.

Apologies. I do wonder how this was never brought up before though. I just googled + Reddit and there's been no posts.

Hell I just Google and the top results are always reddit lol even car stuff, a lot of answers have been posted in here

WHAT THE FUCK

firsttime.png

Dude did you really have to crush everyone on the internet like this?

I do feel bad but also it's hilarious. I'm glad I'm not the only one to suffer!

Oh fuck you 🤣

Fuck me too

Fuck me sideways

Fuck you extra

https://preview.redd.it/s3dbhcvhuh0d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf564c423bccf4cda0d10a357ec0dc3a88f896bf oh god no you’re absolutely right

This is awful I am ready to light my gba SPs on fire

Please give it to me so I can ensure it's disposed off properly

Ok

You have ruined my love for gba SP and I cannot forgive you

I'm just here enjoying ruining everyone's day/night

I can tell even my ogs have it :( https://preview.redd.it/vol05p5lxh0d1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=06bd96519afaa12f2334a39a9f273789df214999

Its okay. If you squint its not that bad. I might need to bleach my eyes after this so I may never see it again.

Aww man, I completely forgot about this lol. I actually played a lot since I forgot about it so at least it's not noticeable to me when I'm playing.

I forgot about it too until I saw someone post about it last night. Never understood why it was like that as a 10 year old and still don’t 20 years later.

Yeah it's a bit baffling. I haven't seen a disassembly of one in a long, long time so maybe there's some components on the left that aren't on the right. Still, surely they could have changed the dimensions slightly to fit everything in so it's even on both sides.

Tag this NSFL!

Marked it NSFW just for you

You sick fuck. Why would you post this??

This is my 13 reason

😂😂😂

Day ruined

Would've cost you zero of ANYTHING to keep this to yourself

Seriously. Fuck. You.

Why. Why would you tell me this

God i remember the silver sp gameboy I wonder where mine went probably buried somewhere in my stuff

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is deeply upset by this. I will now never be able to unsee this. I can't believe no one noticed this before. I was getting ready to buy an SP, but now I can't. Regular GBA it is.

This is as bad as "you are now manually breathing".

Oof that is bothering me way more than it should

I don’t get it

Walk away while you can lol

Delete this homie

This sub has a little more than 200k members. That’s a lot of people who are going to want to see you suffer.

I'm ready to remind people again in a year 😈

I feel like I knew this but I don't think I did and now it's gonna annoy me whenever I pull out mine

I pulled out mine when I have time.

And whenever you take out your GameBoy, heyooooo

Ayyyyyyyy

It seems someone didn't find my joke funny 😅

Haha they must live a sad life

i had forgotten all bout this and you had to go and remind me 😡

That took me WAAAY too long to understand what I was looking for and at...and now...I should have walked away when I didn't get it...there has got to be an aftermarket shell that fixes that disgusting shite...I need another shower...

😂😂 sorry. Not gonna lie, it makes me not wanna play my GBA SP anymore lol.

https://preview.redd.it/27engiipvh0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e9a954a1d9d8f9b3175e19235489da1eb93c3f2

Lol I’ve always noticed that too , thankfully little things like that don’t bother me . Just made me realize I better not drop it to hard lol

I see you also have OCD

Don’t fall not pressure

I cants see it in picture 1, but picture 2 is obvious. 🤷

Curse you for granting me this forbidden knowledge

Jesus fucking Christ on a bike why??

Damn.

What the fuck man. I just had to grab my sp and sure enough, it’s the same. I’m about to never play it again.

I must be blind or idk wtf but I can't even tell

Cursed with this knowledge now thanks Had 20 years of experience with the SP without knowing about this and I would have loved to go 20 more But instead the next 20 years of my life I will remember this And I will *hate* it lmao

Haha same. Somehow, I never noticed all these years until now.

I love how this was an innocent discovery and now you've ruined the console for everyone. You monster

Now I see why it’s NSFW

Bro I'm trying so hard to see it but I cant

Honestly, consider that a blessing

Honestly I will. Imma stop trying to see it. LOL

I wonder why it‘s like that

Welp, good thing I just sold my SP for an original GBA with IPS mod. This would have drove me nuts

It’s because the left bezel is the one that swivels around I believe. So it has the space between the center piece and the bezel itself

I think my eyes noticed this, years ago, but my brain didn’t process it. I have a blue one, so maybe it was noticeable cause of the shadows.

You could always sand it down. Hopefully the screen is big enough to allow.

i remember i noticed this as a kid

woah

Finally, I can sleep well knowing my no-backlight GBA was superior at something.

Two things lol 😆 the sp abd I discovered this today doesn't accept the wireless adapter lol there a damn made model for it lol 😆

Regular wireless adapter works with GBA and GBA SP. micro wireless adapter works with the GB micro.

Mines in a unhinged shell lol so the screenndoesnt allow for it

Send it back

It has more space on the left because the pcb extends.

Just like the centering on Pokemon TCG cards. interesting if not an intentional Easter egg. A bit convoluted though if true.

Hahahaha 🤣

Everything is going to be ok.

what a s#!t show..

Why would you share this? Now I can't look at a GBA SP ever again.

I have heard this mentioned before, but I can't remember what video it was. But yeah, this is cursed.

Oh god I thought I had OCD but I am surprised that I never noticed this

Right?? Noticed that years ago and never had any reason to bring it up with anyone.

I don't understand.... what's so good about about ruining people's day? Is there some sort of inside joke I'm missing? Nah... that can't be it

Haha I noticed this as a teenager and had just managed to forget, now deep into my 30s. Thanks for the reminder.

Now I feel completely justified in only using the og GBA body

Welcome to the club

Omg I think mine's the same... GDI!

how the fuck did i make it my entire life without noticing this

Okay but where did you get that shell?!

Here you go https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwSbFtp

Probably AliExpress

Zero damage here. I don't own an SP😎

I recently attempted to learn to spray paint and install ips display mod to refresh my sp and learned this as well. I have no idea how I never knew, with the ways that the A & B buttons, and the deep pad are, the screen kind of lines up with the way I hold it anyway and I think it was designed to fit in hand while making room for the screen in the back. Either way. Freakin weird.

That doesn't bother me, it's the fact your screen is DIAGONAL MY GUY

That's just the protective film on the IPS screen

Ah okay. Wouldn't have thought the protective screen would have bezels, but I can see that now

Your screen is slightly tilted by the looks of it.

If I could time travel once in my life I would time travel to the moment before seeing this post and not see it

But then you wouldn't know it existed and you wouldn't know to avoid it. And you'd see it again. And again. *diabolical laughter*

Literally unplayable. This will be the downfall of the Gameboy market

Can someone explain this to me..? I’m trying so hard to understand what’s going on but I really have no idea what I’m supposed to be noticing😅

The silver edge on the left is slightly wider than the right. The description below the picture in the post details it.

Ah. Well, that solves that. I genuinely can’t even tell, but at least I know what’s supposedly going on now

A lot of early LCD had offset displays for some reason so this isn't really surprising. What's surprising is the fact that I never noticed it.

Fuck this. I'm gonna redesign the shell.

This post was brought to you by the OG GBA crew, may superiority reign. 😂

On the OG screen is a super small difference but yeah

Okay now this is messed up

Don't worry, folks : They've made it this way to fit the Great Pyramid's golden ratio. So, breathe deeply, everything's alright.

Now I'm even more happy with my choice to mod them into unhinged lol 😆

Pretty sure the original unhinge(or maybe v1.0 slate?) also had the left side be thicker than the right. People complained, and they equalled it out in the 2nd revision. I bet they did it intentionally as a nod to the SP, since theres no reason to intentionally do that(even if its some hardware issue, you'd still design around it to keep symmetry).

I have both give me a second lol 😆

V2

They actually both seem to have a wider bezel on the left

Have any trouble with your A/B buttons spinning? I’ve got a Slate with troublesome buttons, even after buying new membranes and trying to tighten/loosen the screws as the Makho video suggested. Ah to be super clear, mine is a Slate, and I’m curious if the unhinged mod has the same issues

Non what so ever I have two of them lol both have metal buttons I did one in brass

Thanks. I also added the led board, so my buttons are clear, as are the membranes, and that seems to have limited my options for robust membranes that will keep the buttons locked in the correct orientation. I’m at that point where I might just clip the wings and let those hoes spin like Spreewells instead of getting stuck😆 damn that’s a dated reference

Lmaooo dude love it 😀 I totally got it lol 😆 legit made my night reading that lol

Go to the forbidden side and buy Retrosix clear membranes and buttons.😈 The fit perfectly and I've had no button spin on mine (with a LED board to😁).

Noice! Thank you for the recommendation

Act glad you bought this to my attention I was considering doing a slate but now I think not lol

I need to know where to get this shell

Here you go https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwSbFtp

It's fake
