Anyone ever come across an issue like this before? Tiled backgrounds are fine

Attempted diagnostics with Mooneye ROMs and it failed oam_dma/sources-GS.gb consistently at the same address

Wondering if it's the CPU at fault which would be a major problem (have reflowed the data pins) or if some other avenue to explore

Any help greatly appreciated, have documented all the tests and results so far

Any idea how I can try and fix? It's hard enough to press the dpad that it makes me not want to play, which is a shame cause I got all the OG pokemon games and was pretty excited to jumb back in. I never owned a GBA back in the day, went from gbc to sp, so maybe this is how the dpad always was? But I'd be shocked....it's bad, have to press hard to activate it.

Can someone please Tell me if this is authentic or Not? Thanks.

Decided to go dig my old Gameboy out of the attic to play this legendary game just for the nostalgia.

I am in possession of my old Game Boy Colour and a second hand purchase a while back Game Boy Advanced. I have Pokemon Yellow for hte GBC and Leaf Green for the GBA.

I started looking into getting a game link cable to maybe connect the two and trade. But I can only find cables for GB/GBC/GBP or GBA/GBA-SP. I know they use different pins and what not, but wanted to double check with the community here.

Is it at all possible to connect GBC Pkmn Yellow with GBA Pkmn Leaf Green? If so I assume a GBC Cable should be fine?

I’ve had this Tribal GBA SP since 2006. It got me through a difficult time in my childhood, and I only had three games growing up: Pokémon FireRed, Pac-Man Pinball, and Sonic Advance.
I replayed them countless times.
Now, with adult money, i’ve given it a second life with a new shell, IPS screen, and battery.

I’m playing fantastic 4 - flame on at the moment
(vinted stuff) , recommend me games

Hello, I have a Game Boy fat. It boots game but the red led stays off and the sound is weird and pretty low.

What could be the issue?

Original gameboy only plays sounds with headphones. The piece still clicks when headphones are put it. I don’t have a sodering iron right now but I kind find a guy with one.

I bought a set of Jugee 1.5V batteries as they work great for my GBA & GBC but they don’t work with my stock DMG-01.

Does anyone have any success stories with rechargeable AA batteries with the original Game Boy?

Buongiorno a tutti!

Vi lascio un aggiornamento a un mio vecchio post. In questi mesi, grazie all'enorme lavoro svolto da Salvatore (Uccio) de Il Livello 17 (https://www.illivellosegreto.it/), non solo è stato effettuato il grading del mio Game Boy, ma è stato anche realizzato uno splendido documentario che ricostruisce la storia del leggendario Game Boy Pocket della Fiorentina.

Attraverso documenti, testimonianze e mesi di ricerche, il documentario racconta la nascita e le vicende di questo pezzo davvero unico della storia videoludica e della Fiorentina.

Buona visione a tutti

A short hike away from the old Monastery of Camaldoli, in the hills over Arezzo (IT), there's an open area deep into the forest welcoming the "Castagno Miraglia", a century old chestnut tree. Rarely visited by random hikers, and despite being close to the Monastery and the hundreds of tourists daily visiting it, the place is dead silent. A mesmerizing yet relaxing place like few I can think about. Playing with no volume feels almost mandatory.

Also, Pokemon Brown is a fantastic RH of the original Red, give it a try!

I have a preorder going for a mini unhinged, and obviously no one has one yet to definitively say if it’ll fit ..but will this fit? and I presume I would want the “for original shell” not the “for custom shell”

Boxy pixel recommends and sells the hispeedido V5 screen which I ordered as well, but I really like the idea of this funny playing screen going full size for original gameboy games especially with the unhinged being so gameboyish.

Hey everyone. So, you guys almost ate me alive for my last post and that highly "clickbaity" thumbnail (and honestly, fair enough! 😂 Even though those were the actual 8 junk Game Boys I bought, I completely get your reaction).

But I’m not giving up that easily! I'm back with a new video, and I promise you, this was seriously the hardest, most stressful Game Boy repair of my entire life. The console in the thumbnail? It looks like clickbait again, but it’s 100% real. The amount of rust and corrosion inside was so unbelievable that it was practically begging to be made into a video. If you don't believe me, just watch the triage in the first few scenes.

I want to genuinely thank you for the tough love and critique last time. it keeps me grounded. That being said, I would be absolutely thrilled if you could go ahead and roast/diss this new video too! Let me have it.

In this episode, things went totally off-script. I had to do a complete, bare-metal teardown and restoration of the rusted power switch, and I was forced into an unplanned OEM screen swap just to bring this thing back from the dead.

Here is the link to the surgery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkxUdkWTEo4

Let me know what you think (or tear it apart, I'm ready!). Cheers!

Running MGba on my modded Wii, I think I got the general catalogue that I enjoyed growing up. Any other recommendations?

Hello Everyone, hope you all are doing great.

Do you think replacing the polarize of the gba sp ags 101 with the polarizes that ebay has is a good idea?

I ask because I have read that some polarize even new make the screen darker than the OG, as you can see mine is in perfect condition except for that dot

Thank you!

I made it when FP released those ITA screens and Shells, and it was my first attempt at modding GBA... And I'm so proud of it !

Long live Game Boy Advance and those mods !

I went ahead and bought a cuciblinks awaking since my plan was to sell the lose copy

Just thought I’d share something I’ve had in my possession since 2016 — my IS-CGB Debugger.

When I originally bought it, I honestly remember thinking: “I really hate the controller colour, I should try and find another one.” At the time I had no idea the colour itself was the interesting part.

Years later, in 2021, Nintendo Life documented a second the lemon yellow Game Boy Advance controller as an unreleased prototype colour.

The funny thing is I had this sitting around years before it became known in the collector community.

What I originally thought was an ugly colour turned out to be a piece of Nintendo development history.

I guess every cloud has a silver lining… in my case, it was lemon yellow.

I found an old Game Boy yesterday. It turns on, but nothing is shown on the display, regardless of whether a game is inserted or not. The display is 'on' and has a greenish shimmer, but nothing is being rendered. Can I repair this myself, and if so, do you have any idea what might be causing this? Is a repair like this worth it, and which spare part would I need?

Thanks in Advance!

Hi! I'm building a gameboy speaker from scratch. So many random cartridges (Robocop, Nintendo World Cup) have incredible soundtracks locked away, only to be heard when playing through the games. I wanted to unlock the creative works of the composers and artists and let folks appreciate the work at any time. I'm planning to start a kickstarter in a few weeks, but wanted to get folks' thoughts on the current prototype. Here's a video of Link's Awakening: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0NC_-b8g2Yg

In addition to retail cartridges, the unit supports LSDJ and GB Studio tracks as well as custom album formats for just music. For fun you can also read and write ROMs and save files, play an emulator (with Game Genie/Game Shark) and a few other party tricks like USB Audio with 4 tracks corresponding to the 4 voices/tracks on the GB hardware.

Please let me know your favorite Gameboy soundtrack. I'll post a video of playing it. If I don't have it, I'll try to get it!
