What is gameboy advance sp?

The Game Boy Advance SP (GBA SP) is a handheld game console developed, manufactured and marketed by Nintendo. It was launched in Japan in 2003 and was an upgraded version of the original Game Boy Advance. The "SP" in its name stands for "Special".

Key features of the Game Boy Advance SP include:

• Clamshell Design: A folding design that protected the screen from scratches and damage, a common complaint with the original GBA. This also made it more pocket-friendly.
• Rechargeable Battery: It used a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a significant improvement over the original GBA's reliance on AA batteries.
• Frontlit Screen (Initially): The initial model featured a frontlit screen, improving visibility in various lighting conditions, though not as bright or clear as later backlit displays.
• Backlit Screen (Later Model): A later revision, often referred to as the AGS-101 model, featured a much brighter and clearer backlit screen, addressing criticisms of the original SP's display.
• Compatibility: It maintained full compatibility with all Game Boy Advance cartridges, as well as most Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. (Some older Game Boy games required specific settings).
• No Headphone Jack (Originally): The original GBA SP did not have a standard headphone jack, requiring a special adapter (sold separately) to use headphones. This was often seen as a drawback.
• Successor: Its successor was the Nintendo DS.
