The conversion removes the top half of the DS Lite, activates the bottom screen as the active display via solder bridges, and gives you a compact GBA player with a backlit screen and the DS Lite's larger battery. ZedLabz stocks the Helder Game Tech 800mAh USG-003 battery (compatible with both DS Lite and Macro builds) and the Helder FlexAmp Macro variant, which adds amplified audio plus the resistors needed to activate the lower screen as the active display. Quick picks for any Macro builder The Macro starter parts: a working DS Lite chassis (often one with a broken top screen, picked up cheaply) plus the Helder 800mAh USG-003 replacement battery and the Helder FlexAmp Macro audio mod with the lower-screen activation resistors.

Best of both worlds: Macro build plus a separate stock GBA SP for clamshell convenience, the Macro is for compact portability, the SP for hinged screen protection.
