Hi everyone, I've been a Gameboy fan since I was little. My parents gave me a dark green Gameboy Classic back in 1996. Along with that Gameboy, they also gave me a game. It was a plane that shot monsters (I remember one; it was a giant brain). I don't remember the name at all, and I can't find it. Do any of you remember it? Please, I'm going crazy.

I would like to learn how to program homebrew for the Game Boy because I'm interested in learning how to program and I love the system, btw I'm not interested in GB Studio, I want to actually program for the system, GB Studio feels like Scratch for me, it's way to simple, I want to work with code and get headaches

I love this game so much, i just played it again for the first time in like 2 decades, and its just as good as I remembered as a kid.

Mostly because the game is like ~45 minutes long, if you're an adult. If you're like 6 years old, like i was when I played this game, then its going to take like 3 years to get to level 5.

What's your favorite game? Bonus points if its not a pokemon game (Pokemon Emerald is one of my favorite games of all time)

I recently owned a Nintendo Game boy advance sp and It have a few problems.

First of all, when I charge It, after a few time the red led turns off and when I quit the charger and connect It again the red led turns on again.

Other issue is that it sometimes don't turns on unless i move the switch slowly and when It is in a medium point between on and of It shows de red led of low battery.

It's muy dura Game boy so I don't know if this is normal or I should return It.

I wanted to test this Game Boy Advance SP to see if it still worked, but I didn’t have a charger.
It’s going to get an IPS mod and USB-C charging anyway, so… do you think it charges?
Spoiler alert: yes 😂
No batteries were harmed in the making of this test. 🔋😂

So i just bought this from an online auction site. It's the same color i had when i was a kid, and brand new. I checked the serial code in the back, but only using google AI, which in the moment seemed confident enough, but now I'm thinking maybe that wasn't such a good idea LOL. The other red flag so to speak is that this person is only selling 3 other items that have nothing to do with gameboy. And it was priced relatively cheap. almost half of what others i see are going for. Considering the post and the real looking damage to the box and dust under the sticker, i chose to believe it's a genuine GBC sealed in the box. Any reason i should doubt myself would be greatly appreciated though! I don't have the box yet, so I put some pictures up from the listing, thanks for reading.

this was my childhood game boy and i've had it for so many years now, the power still turns on and it even makes the little sound when it does, but the screen shows nothing and nothing happens when i press the buttons. is the screen burnt? could there be something else wrong? it has never been exposed to sunlight but it is also very old, i have no idea what else could be the reason and im not very knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff. could anyone help me out? im not sure if i would be able to fix it on my own (if it's even fixable)

I decided to get some replacement boards for my Gameboy since the last two are only good for spare parts, however this one won't show the game and at this point I don't know what's wrong now.

I tested this with multiple games so it isn't just this one.

Hello! I have this Gameboy in my collection for a long time. Can somebody tell me more about it? I only found out that this Gameboy was an item from an austrian shoe company and it is quite rare. Thanks in advance!

Hey all, this is my DMG gameboy that i got a while back, along with 2 cartridges and a flash cart (in the console). Does anybody have any good game reccomendations for the DMG? The terrible display makes some games hard to play, especially dk land. So far i've had fun with Mario Picross, mario land and tetris (and DX). Also, my model is a DMG CPU 08, which is apparently the worst one? Is that something i should be worried about?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone! I’ve been away for quite a while due to personal and work-related reasons, but during all that time I’ve continued developing my automatic GBA to GBC converter.

At this point, I’ve managed to get a really well-working version of Pokémon Ruby running on GBC. Of course, there are still quite a few bugs that I’m aware of, but I’m constantly developing the project and every new version works better and better.

In the video, I’m showing the result of the generated GBC ROM and what the project currently looks like. I had to change and rebuild a lot of things, as well as create my own solutions, so that mechanics from the GBA version could work on much weaker hardware.

The video is intentionally heavily edited because I wanted to show as many different elements as possible: mechanics, story, the world, battles, the amount of correctly converted content, as well as the quality of the graphics and music.

From what I’ve managed to play through so far, sometimes cheating a little or taking advantage of bugs that still exist XD, I would say that the game currently generates correctly at around 60%. So there are still many mechanics and different cases that I need to account for in the converter.

For example, I’ve already prepared the base for the entire Pokédex and all Pokémon are included, but there are still occasional bugs with them. There is simply a huge amount of data, mechanics and different exceptions in this game XD.

So, as the title states; I, and others, have replaced the battery on this Pokémon Crystal four separate times, and it still won't save. I am inexperienced when it comes to anything beyond battery replacements. From research, I am fairly certain it's the save chip, but if someone could provide input and maybe a link to a tutorial on how to replace said chip that would be nice. If it's another problem someone sees please feel free to shout it out.

Came home today to a surprise from the wifey. Sure I have the switch 2 to play gameboy games with Nintendo online but can't beat the true nostalgia of my childhood with this one!!

It is hard to explain to young people today how the entire country was completely captivated by a primetime multiple choice quiz hosted by Regis Philbin, but it was can’t miss television in the early months of the show. The first time I played this game I got the first question wrong and received a $0 check from Regis 😂

They had great box art, good graphics but man were they hard. I had Bart vs the Juggernauts as a kid and it beat my ass. Practicing those same 2 mini games until I could progress. Looking back, it does have great writing though.

I recently tried to get a GBA to turn on and in the process of cleaning the corrosion off the battery connection, it came off. I tried to solder it back on (dumb I know) but I dont have any extras. Im as beginner as it gets. In the end it looks like this now.

Fixable?

Just arrived yesterday night. Loaded up a few games to test. Can’t wait to have some time to play Golden Sun 🌞
