Transcript excerpt

Worst $2,000 to show your gauges sensors on a Game Boy Advance. I thought this was crazy. So let me show you how you can do this yourself. Worst, you need to get a Game Boy Advance link cable that has all the pins populated and I found the four player link cables tend to have all the pins populated. You also need a five pin Best two point no connector. Those are super cheap you can pick them up on Amazon. And now cut one of the link cables apart and you'll need to find which color wire goes to which pin. So use a multimeter for this. We'll need to connect these pins to these pins on the Best two point o connector and once you have the wires soldered up, you just connect one side to the gauge and one side to the Game Boy Advance link port. Now you just flip the switch in the flock gauge settings and the gauge will push the custom ROM to the Game Boy Advance on startup. If If you don't wanna make your own cable, you can pre order one on my site for $45. I also include a charging cable and adapter for the Game Boy Advance no you can have a more permanent setup.
