Quick update The other day on the Ben Heck forums i noticed a link to a guy that had put a backlit gba SP screen into an original GBA, using a cable made buy a chap called Zerey Zhang. I followed the links to his page and managed to get in contact with him, and today I received a replacement screen ...

The Snes video circuit has different specs to the gamecube, so although they are pin compatible there are capacitors in the Gamecube cable (more common than a genuine Snes cable iirc) the signal strength gets altered by the extra circuitry.
