Boktai GBA UV Mod
Just something I thought I'd share with the world.
So I love Boktai, but the UK isn't exactly known for it's great outdoor weather, even in the summer, so I wanted a UV light source that I could use to trigger the UV light sensor on the cartridge.
I'd seen those 'snakelights' that drew power from the link cable port back when GBAs were new but I never had the non-backlit original GBA so they seemed pretty pointless. But by swapping the white LED for a UV one I had the perfect solution.
So here's some photos of the UV snake light in action:
Here's the snakelight. I've already removed the original LED and resistor and replaced them with the UV LED. It was rather dim with the resistor so I just left it out. Someone's going to tell me I shouldn't do that.
Here's everything plugged in and in position.
As you can see I'm getting 7 bars on the Solar Gauge with the UV LED over the sensor. Those Vampires are toast. :)
