GBAccelerator FAQ

Q: What systems is the GBAccelerator compatible with?
A: The GBAccelerator works with the Game Boy Advance and The Game Boy Advance SP.

Q: Will GBAccelerator damage my Gameboy?
A: No. We've done extensive testing with GBAccelerator at all of its different speeds and have left it running for hours on end with no signs of damage.

Q: Does GBAccelerator affect battery life?
A: We've run a GBAccelerated GBA for the whole life of a set of batteries and can confirm that any decrease in life is very small and should not be a concern.

Q: When using GBAccelerator, will our GBA become hot/will there be extra heat generation/will we need to install heatsinks?
A: No. Overclocking the GBA isn't like overclocking a computer. You will notice no increase in heat dissipation. The CPU in the GBA is actually designed to run much faster than the GBA runs it at anyway.

Q: How much faster does the GBA run with GBAccelerator?
A: Using Fast speed, the GBA will run at about 1.5x normal GBA speed. Using Ultra speed mode, the GBA will run at about 1.75x normal GBA speed. And using Slow-Motion mode, the GBA will run at about 0.85x normal GBA speed.

Q: Can we link GBA's when using GBAccelerator?
A: Yes! As long as both GBA's are running in the same speed mode, you can link together without problem.
