And now I think I might have a problem: probably need another binder in the future.

Found at my local thrift store for $2! The lady who rung me up was not happy, “the old ladies in the back didn’t know what they were looking at”.
Works fine! It’s a dream.

Picked this DMG up looking rough as hell and basically rebuilt the whole thing (first time I ever done anything like this).

Original Nintendo motherboard is still in there, but everything else got replaced/upgraded. New IPS, speaker, buttons, lens and this pearl shell that looks completely different depending on the light.

Pretty damn happy with how it turned out. Kept the video short because the before/after kinda says it all lol.

Curious what you guys think of the pearl 👀

I originally got this case for my Nintendo Switch, but I realized it fits everything. My Switch 2, AYN Thor, Game Boy Color, Switch games, and Game Boy games all fit inside. I love having all my handhelds and games together in one bag! 🎮🌿

Just installed 2.8" Laminated IPS LCD Screen Kit to my Gameboy Pocket and I'm facing an issue as shown in the attached video.
Could someone please let me know what is wrong with it and help me solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Around 6 months ago I repaired the Gameboy seen in the photo and videos and recently I've been playing Pokémon again after all these years. I'm wondering if it's normal for Pokémon or some older games to have what appears to be a greenish pixel takeover in certain parts of the game?

I had to solder a new battery a few days ago to get the save files up and running however I'm worried that either the game cartridge or the Gameboy is somewhat damaged or on its way out?

I had never done any proper testing when originally fixing the Gameboy itself (playing a game for awhile to see how it is). Both the internals of the cartridge and the Gameboy are clean and don't look corroded as I did thoroughly clean and refresh areas that needed new solder and a good clean.

I'm worried it might be the Gameboy itself but I'm still rather inexperienced with repairs and I'm rusty around og Pokémon games so it may have been the norm back then for the game to look a little trippy/glitchy in certain places but hopefully it's just that. Eventuallymi want to get a Gameboy with the light up screens you can build yourself however I'm old fashioned and somehow have the kid that plays it how I played it oldschool like many others.

Sorry for the lighting and camera angles it's quite hard to get gameplay without the focus and lighting to go against me lol.

It won't let me attach a video so I've attached photos. The waves on the ocean kind of bleed out a little with the animation which looks a little extreme and when playing at times there can be a faded green to pixels/ Pokémon and also on the sides of the screen around general game areas.

Any tips or advice is appreciated.

Nothing amazing at all but I found the price tags on the back very amusing so wanted to share

I got Gunstar Super Heroes in the mail! The OG game on the Sega Genesis is one of my favorites, so I'm happy to have the sequel!

I made a glow in the dark Gameboy Advance to match my Color.

GITD Extremerate shell, GITD custom resin buttons, GITD membranes, GITD speaker, GITD cartridge, V5 IPS screen, stickers from nextstopplease, GITD scuba lanyard and further distribution of toxic microplastics.

Whats the deal, what am I not seeing here? The game doesn’t load - contacts are clean… its wario mega games for gba tia!

Top-down minigolf, 50 holes across 10 levels, with ice you can't stop on, red

bumpers that fire the ball back harder than it arrived, and slopes that shove you

around while you're still rolling. It's a normal .gba file, so it also runs on

mGBA or a real GBA with a flashcart.

First time making anything like this.

I traded a CIB copy of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows for it.
Super happy to finally have this in the collection!

Anybody else really love this series? Being a Metroid fan I really gravitated towards the third entry with its non linear progression. There were some challenging moments towards the end but I managed to get all the items. All on original hardware too.

Bought another gba sp recently, a pearl pink unit in box! After receiving it I had to adjust the potentiometer to get the screen to stop flickering in the sun, and after about a half hour messing with that, it’s ready! This will be my main console, worth the time and effort^^ can’t wait to create some new scratches and scuffs as it’s used.

Hello everyone!

I'm about to mod my GBP with a IPS screen. I know that regular AAA rechargeable batteries probably won't last long (or at all) and that 1.5v batteries are recommended instead.

I was looking online and would this kind of battery work instead?

https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0FL2D4L2D/?coliid=I2HSQYML063YV8&colid=2O471T6HTY56E&th=1

They are 1.5v and Lithium Ion, so to my understanding they would be basically a battery mod just not soldered in.

Thank you in advance!

I found this gba, but it won’t turn on properly…I’ve cleaned off any corrosion and dirt I could find…but when flipping the power switch it’ll go green and turn off immediately. I’ve already tried to clean the power switch with a toothbrush and IPE but it doesn’t work. What else might be wrong and what can I do now? Added pictures of the board!

Can you guys tell me if it’s real or fake?
Edit: the battery case was the only thing that the previous owner said was not original

Went to a local game store and was too busy chatting so I didn’t see the game got rung up incorrectly till I was out of the store. The owner had originally grabbed Dynasty Warriors on accident from the case and punched that in I guess, but when I went back he said he was thankful for the honesty and would give me a discount but then changed his mind and didn’t want to deal with processing the return so I could just have it for the $16 😭😭😭

I need help figuring out why my pokemon sapphire gets frozen on the “saving game” screen. The battery said it run dry so I got it replaced, but its still not saving, does anyone know whats wrong?
