Bringing back the games and consoles you loved as a kid, into the 21st Century
NOTE: You require a GBA CleanScreen board, LCD Ribbon and optionally button ribbon in addition to this IPS.
If you are using the GBA CleanScreen board to upgrade your GBA screen then this is the IPS screen you need. Custom developed and made by Six in 2022, this screen perfectly reproducing the colors, size, visual responses and look of the original screens for that perfect modern upgrade.
FunnyPlaying + all other IPS are all identical for the most part:
Users simply got used to all of these issues as standard as every screen on the market had these issues until the CleanScreen
The ITA is the term used for the 20 year old screen used in the DS consoles with a backlight. A super-simple driver circuit was made to allow them to be used in the GBA console.
The features are:
This is a great budget option if you want as close to original as possible without paying for a new screen.
The CleanScreen is the best of both worlds. Brand new, yet retaining all aspects of the original screen.
We will obviously sing my own praises on this one but the most unbiased way we could say to you is: IPS are more popular as they have been out longer, and are cheaper as they use phone screens, whereas the CleanSceen is 100% perfect and true to original, with zero flaws. It has correct size/color/transparency/no ghosting/pixel grid and fixes every faulty with the IPS screens.
Live support and easy install, along with all parts sold separately for repairs and so on.
If you want the best, its definitely CleanScreen, if you want original on a budget it is the ITA, if you want in between both (new but not original and many flaws) its a generic IPS or FunnyPlaying.
The original screen draws the least power, then the ITA screen draws the next lowest, and finally the CleanScreen and all other IPS screens on the market draw almost identical powers (with the CleanScreen drawing the lowest of them all by around 40mA).

RetroSix is a small team of people who have been in the gaming industry and retail business since 2013, and sold consoles, controllers and even designed our own controllers and consoles.
Putting that expertise to good use, we decided to start RetroSix; a small team of people passionate about retro gaming, and restoring original consoles to like-new, adding our own twist and style to them and in general bringing a modern twist to retro.

So many things these days are mass produced, not designed to last, and make as cheap as possible for as much money as possible. We started RetroSix not as a mass market business, instead with the aim of perfection. Recreating moulds of original shells, casting them from quality ABS, redesigning hardware such as power supplies, USB-C, audio and more, to upgrade your consoles to the highest quality available. No cheap junk sold for profit.
