I purchased this item new at the time and have stored it in a dark place for a long time. I haven't been able to confirm that it works because I don't have a GBA. Please understand this before purchasing, and no claims or returns will be accepted. I plan to wrap it in bubble wrap to prevent water damage before shipping. Since there are individual differences in how the condition is assessed, 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 overly concerned about the condition. Returns are not accepted to prevent the possibility of item substitution.
