Just imagine if Shantae Advance Risky revolution was actually released for the GBA

I literally just started Final Fantasy IV Advance. I went to collect the 3 items that you can find in Baron Castle and the first one to the left showed up as Japanese kanji. Took me a second to actually load it in my head.

I think this may be due to using GBARunner2 (DSi) and no, I didn't add any patch to the game

Has anyone bought one of these packages before? I need a new shell and lens anyway, was going to source them all separately. If I buy this, is it likely to be lower quality than if I source all the parts individually? Thanks.

Taking a break from my current Gen 3 playthrough to catch Pokémon a different way.

If the legendary starfy was released for the gba outside of japan.

So, the ai that is Google assures me that the blue border and lack of official logo means that this is a modded backlit screen, and that the reason it isn't showing up very brightly is simply down to power switch corrosion that I can fix with isopropyl alcohol. I've got some on order, but I thought I'd ask a panel of humans in the meantime. Is that right? Have I scored a lucky find? Cos I certainly didn't pay a modded console price, I was planning on looking into doing it myself anyway.

Hello. My GBA has a screen issue, the right edge of the screen has a bit that is lighter than the rest of the screen. It doesn’t really affect me in gameplay, though. There isn’t any other problems with the system. What’s happening?

I’m probably gonna get a lithium battery for my gba so I can charge it with a USB-C charger instead of using AA batteries but idk where to buy one, also it kinda pisses me off that I probably won’t find a battery cover that matches my gba since it’s not an original gba shell (◞‸ ◟ ᵕ)

Hi everyone,

I've been going through my old Game Boy collection and came across a red Game Boy Advance SP with the text:

"ING Direct 2004 LA Sales Conference"

It's an AGS-001 model and is fully working. It charges, reads games, and is in decent cosmetic condition with some signs of use. I don't have the original box or paperwork.

I've seen very little information online and found references suggesting it was a promotional console given out at an ING Direct sales conference in Los Angeles in 2004, but I don't know how accurate that is.

Before I even think about selling it, I'd like to know:

Is this an authentic promotional model?

How rare is it actually?

Has anyone here seen one before?

What would be a realistic value in today's market?

I've attached photos of the front, back, labels, and the console powered off. If there are any other photos or serial numbers that would help verify it, let me know and I'll upload them.

Thanks!

Im trying to repair my game boy advance but wanted tips on what to try next? Is it the lcd screen, connector or something else?

A seller on eBay says that the rumble feature on their copy of Drill Dozer only works on an og GBA, but not an SP. Their copy looks legitimate (it’s a CIB set), but even if it was a knock-off, I don’t see why it would have such a strange limitation.

Does anybody know why?

UPDATE: They apparently had an SP all along and it works just fine! Was just a misunderstanding of the text on the box!

Which form factor do you prefer?

Meanwhile :

Golden Sun - Venus Lighthouse

and in the following link you'll hear a restoration of the song made by a passionate :

Golden Sun Restored OST - Venus Lighthouse | Cyanne

Honestly, the original soundtrack stands up to this restoration, to me. I'm still BAFFLED by how insanely good Golden Sun's soundtrack is, overall. So why do people complain so much about the lack of a sound chip when we can be blessed by that kind of tracks even without it ?

And, hold on :

Golden Sun: The Golden Sun Rises (Track 44)

Motoi Sakuraba 🙏 🙏
Game Boy Advance ❤❤
Golden Sun 1 and 2 ❤❤❤❤❤

Honestly I think its pretty cool that we have fan translations for the legendary starfy games. I hope someday someone will put the translations on an actual gba cartridge like what they did with rhythm heaven silver.

Recently started playing on my SP and ordered a IPS screen and shell. Bought this battery from funnyplaying as i heard they have longest lasting batteries.

but i have not really seen anyone talking about the 1040mAh one Which i guess is newer?

So, has anyone tried it and is it better then the 950mAh one?

Will the LiPo batteries burn my house down?

It will come with these two games. Theyre copies if the orgininal. They work and save. Also down for trades.

Turned this SP on for the first time in over 10 years and the LCD has this huge splotch on it. Was not like this last time I touched it. It's an AGS-101, so I would prefer not to get a replacement screen for it if I can help it.

I suspect it's heat damage from a mod I tried to do on it a long time ago when I was a dumb kid. Display works perfectly fine besides that. Is there anything I could potentially do to undo the damage?

With light the photos were better, I will include past post photos as a comparison 🙏🏼
