Gameboy Advanced USB Drive
How to fit a USB drive in to an old Game boy advanced cartridge. For looks...
Gather Required Materials
Pretty basic. You need:
1. Small screwdriver, it uses a triangle head but a small enough Philips or Flathead will work with a little pressure.
2. Gameboy cartridge, DONT USE A POKEMON GAME, its a waste :)
3. Razor blade, you can use a dremel, but I dont have one because im poor :/
4. and finally, A USB drive. Can be any size, i used a 2 GB

Separate the Halves of the USB Drive
You can use the Flathead for this, you wont be needing the outside case so you can break it if necessary.
Take the Game Cartridge Apart
On the back there is one screw and once removed all that you have to do is slide the back up and off :)
Start Hacking Away
I took the razor blade and cut about 6 groves along the section i was going to cut and broke them off with the screw driver. The Dremel would be optimal right now.
The cut part on the back side needs to be a little bigger so you can slide the two halves back together.
After that you can fit the USB snugly inside of the holes.

Reassembly
Now all that is left is to reassemble it the opposite way you took it apart and your done :D
Extras
Two things you can do is to take the sticker off as i have done, and find a way to make use of the slide mechanism that is on the original USB drive so that yours slides in and out of the game cartridge.
