I purchased this new at the time and have stored it in a case in a dark place. I haven't confirmed that it works because I don't have a GBA. Please understand that this is a used item and accept it with no claims and no returns. I plan to wrap it in bubble wrap to prevent water damage before shipping. As there are individual differences in the assessment of the condition, I would appreciate it if you could check the photos and make your purchase decision. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item or are very particular about condition. Returns are not accepted to prevent item substitution.
