The Game Boy Advance SP is Nintendo's clamshell revision of the Game Boy Advance, with a folding body, a rechargeable battery and a front-lit screen on the original model. It plays the full Game Boy Advance library and, through its backward-compatible slot, Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges. It suits retro players who want the GBA catalog in a pocketable form. Against the original GBA it adds a built-in battery and a protected screen, but its headphone jack needs a separately sold adapter and the early front-lit screen is dimmer than the later backlit AGS-101 version.
