Nintendo also released headphones made specifically for the GBA SP that plug into the charging port. Instead, a special adapter converts the extension port into one. Unlike other Game Boy models, the SP does not have a headphone jack. Just like its predecessor, it is compatible with all Game Boy Advance games as well as Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.

However, the GBA SP is incompatible with the Nintendo DS Lite charger. The SP's charger input also is the same as that of the Nintendo DS, so the chargers can be used interchangeably. The battery can last up to ten hours with the light on, and only takes three hours to recharge fully. Instead it uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery which can be recharged using its own AC adapter. Unlike previous Game Boys, the GBA SP does not require normal batteries. This new lighting system allowed the user to enjoy games in better color and brightness however, it also causes a half-pixel screen lag. In late 2005, Nintendo released an updated version of the GBA SP, with a backlight instead of the usual frontlight. The user has the option to turn the light on and off. The screen is a Reflective TFT Color LCD with an integrated frontlight enabling game play in dark places without the use of an external light source. When open, it is almost the same size as the Game Boy Color, but slightly thinner. The Game Boy Advance SP has a clam shell design which helps protect the screen from scratches. Battery Life: 10 hours (light on), 18 hours (light off).Power: Rechargeable lithium ion battery.Light source: Frontlight integrated LCD.As of September 2008, global sales of the GBA SP are at 43.49 million. By this time, over 17.6 million units had been sold worldwide. However, by the same time the next year, figures had jumped past the 2 million mark in Japan, while in America the sales were more than double that of Japan.
