Why won’t anyone make these with a GBA layout?
My old GBA was my favorite way to play Gameboy and GBC games because it’s just easier to hold.

Obviously piracy would be terrible and nobody would do it, but imagine how great GBC games would be on the Steam Deck if such a thing were possible! I’d probably play those pretty regularly!

Playing GBA games on the Steam Deck and then going back to a real GBA is kind of hilarious. The GBA screen is even worse than I remember.

Anbernic has some GBA layout ones, although I’m pretty sure they’re not aluminum
