So sick of Nintendo doing stuff like this. Releasing the GBA SP and requiring a dongle to use headphones? What if I need to charge during a session of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance? This will never catch on.
That wasn’t even the reason for that change. There just plain wasn’t much room on the GBA SP for a headphone jack. People have modded them in aftermarket but every single one of the possible positions looks like crap and the GBA was never the pinnacle of audio hardware. In fact, the headphone jack made a triumphant return on every handheld Nintendo has released since the GBASP, including the GBA Micro.
(I am not saying there weren’t good bops on the GBA, most Pokemon tunes are incredible. Just that audio quality was never a priority for design on the GBA.)

Sadly it’s more profitable to force users to buy more shit
