Could somebody give me a physical description of what each button/connector does on the Game Boy Advance SP? - Positive Asian boy wearing protective helmet and sportswear of American football player in yellow studio

I've just discovered that I still (somehow) have my Game Boy Advance SP console from back in the day. I'm totally blind, and whilst I used to spend hundreds of happy hours playing games when I first got the console I can't recall what the buttons/inputs do. Would somebody be able to give a breakdown of each button/connector so that I can have a proper play around?

In other words: all I need is the physical description of what's printed on the button/port.

Does the GBA SP have a backlight?

There was only one thing wrong with the GBA, It didn't have a backlight! So you had to either be playing in light, or get an obscure accessory just to play in the dark. Luckily, seeing the outcry for a backlit GBA, the Gameboy Advance SP was released, with a backlight, and the same library as all the others!

Is GBA or GBA SP better?

If you feel the same, go with the SP. The Game Boy Advance SP has a backlight, so it is MUCH better than any other Game Boy. The Game Boy Advance SP has a backlight and more portability, but the Game Boy Advance has more durable L and R buttons, a HUGE thing for me.

Does the Gameboy Advance SP have a headphone jack?

To use headphones with the Game Boy Advance SP, you will need to have the Headphone Adapter. Please note, any headphones with a 3.5mm jack, which is standard, will work with the Game Boy Advance SP Headphone Adapter.
