One goal. Perfection.
Thank you so much for the community that helped make us.
The Game Boy Advance SP (GBA SP), released in February 2003, is an upgraded version of Nintendo's 32-bit Game Boy Advance sixth-generation handheld game console. The "SP" in the name stands for "Special". It was followed by the Nintendo DS (released in November 2004) and the Game Boy Micro (released in September 2005).
The Prestige Editions are fully maxed our consoles using every single upgrade to date.
Hand-restored to it's original condition, with a new shell, buttons, and screen making the perfect gift for a die-hard gamer.
We take an original Game Boy Advance SP and start by taking it apart fully. We clean the PCB, replace any broken or worn components such as the Link connection, volume and power switches, and do a full hardware test to confirm good working order is restored.
Next, we replace the old, used and worn shell with a brand new cast ABS shell and buttons from RetroSix, along with the rubber contacts and buttons to restore that brand new button press feel.
Next the big upgrades. We change the LCD screen for a new IPS backlit screen and upgrade the audio with the CleanAmp, PureSilence and Dehum kits as well as installing a new 1W speaker to give the audio a 400% volume boost, perfect silence when volume is down, and hum and hiss audio noise removed for great clear and loud audio!
The console is powered by a brand new 900mAh lipo battery manufactured exclusively for RetroSix on demand with real and certified 900 mAh capacity.
Finally, we replace the plastic screen protector with a modern tempered glass screen protector so your old new console stays newer for longer.
The finishing touch is a sealed product in a hard carry case, perfect as a gift for any retro gamer... or maybe even treat yourself?
Luke
Retro Enthusiast
RetroSix is a family run business led by Luke, who has been in the gaming industry and retail business since 2013, and sold consoles, controllers and even designed our own controllers and consoles.
We repair and upgrade consoles while showing them off on our social channels such as TikTok.
We sell products for restoring your own consoles should you wish to do it yourself, including many of our own hardware we design and manufacture in-house.
Finally, we print directly onto products to create unique one-off designs of things like Game Boys, Game Gears and anything that has a relatively flat surface we can print on. Checkout our Printed Products sections to buy some or design your very own.
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.
Partners
We believe partnering with other likeminded companies is a great way to help each other out and ultimately make products that are better for the end consumer.
Of course, we sell and ship worldwide direct from source if you would like to purchase direct from anywhere in the world.
