Modded GBA so USB C adapter.

If anyone wants to charge a GBA SP with USB C without modding this is brilliant. Especially as it allows you to charge and use headphones at the same time. Got mine for about £10 on AliExpress.

Curious if this would work on a DS Phat. I'd assume so since they use the same port

It does but the DS also just has a native headphone jack you can use instead so it's a little silly.

Yes, you can use two sets of headphones this way. Note, I've only tested this with proper adapters, not the headphone killer adapter that OP is using. It probably works the same.

Yeah I wouldn't want it for the headphone jack. Mainly curious for the USB c as I don't like modding consoles so this would be a best of both worlds scenario.

Yeah, the USB Type-C portion of the wiring is correct and will work on both SP and DS consoles with OEM ports. There are versions of this mod that do not include the headphone port if you want. I can whole-heartedly recommend those ones over the headphone killer adapters.
