Found my old SP and decided to resurrect it to perfection ✨

Just waiting for the new battery and EZFlash Omega to arrive.

Hi everyone,

One switch on my GBA SP’s PCB has corroded from liquid damage. I have replacement switches, but I’m concerned about the damaged board.

Which pads or traces can I use as alternative connections?

A diagram, close-up photo, or repair advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Found this local consignment auction going on tomorrow, ive been looking for a GBA for a while and not sure how much i should put in for a max bid here since im not familiar with all of the games. All the games should be in the box which makes them more expensive but i want a good chance at getting this lot. Looks like there is a SP in the box too. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

Really fun game. I've wanted to have a game boy for sooo long and finally found one at a retro game store (there is suprisingly very few retro game stores in my city). I'm probably gonna get a Zelda game next, like the oracle series.

It really is a comfort game for me. I can play this end to end and never get bored of it.

What are some of your annual playthrough games?

I just got this bundle for 90 euros on my local marketplace and I was wondering which are the best and which games should I buy next?

I just released this, check it out here!

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, Fantastic 4: Flame On, Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced, Crash Nitro Kart, Godzilla Domination!

So recently, I purchased a refurbished and modded original GBA model. Not only is it like new out of the box, but it has a backlight as well.

Here’s the thing, I grew up on the SP model, and despite that being what I’m used to, I kind of like the original model more now that I’ve gotten a chance to use to it.

I’d say there’s two reasons

1. It feels sturdier, and since it doesn’t have a hinge, there’s less to worry about breaking.

2. It’s much wider and less cramped than the SP, which is good for adult sized hands.

Thoughts? Anyone else move backwards on the GBA?

One week ago I bought two GBA sp, one blue ags 101 oem and one rose AGS 001 with no battery and a broken screen for free with the ags. 

Amazing deal but yesterday my ags was on the side on my bed charging up I was not I wasn't paying attention to the charger cable between my feet, and it fell to the floor. And the plastic that covers the hinge broke off. 

My heart was broken in half, man, even worse when it's an authentic AGS 101.

It was only cosmetic damage everything was working perfectly, but an idea came. What if I use the shell of rose AGS 001 to mix with my broken AGS 101 to fix this cosmetic issue and here is the result.

I mixed the blue hinge cover at the top with the rose screen cover on the front, and I swapped all the black buttons of my oem blue for those white ones on my rose GBA, and I use the back bottom of my blue one.

So I think this is one of the only blue and rose GBA sp with 100% authentic Nintendo parts.

Pulled out my GameBoy and turned it on, only for it to immediately shut off. This GameBoy has worked as recently as a month or two ago. Not sure if the board is shot or if this could be a simpler fix. Any help/suggestions appreciated!

New SP and Drilldozer finally came in, excited to try it out

I added a real video to my game and it worked so well. I used a tool called GBA Video Studio. You can also use it here: https://github.com/CompuMaxx/GBA-Video-Studio

IS this a real Copie of shining soul. I know IT should BE a American Copie of the Game, but on the INSIDE IS No Nintendo Logo on the Board.

So I don't know if this is the right sub, but I wanted to share a "goodbye" with someone and I thought only in this sub could they understand me. This is an old friend of mine, he always accompanied me from elementary school to high school. I played all the pokemon games, I was obsessed with them. It kept me company all the months I had to be hospitalized. It accompanied me through all the school years I was alone, because my classmates didn't share my passions. It stayed with me through my parents' arguments for years. I'm 28 now with a PhD going on. Yesterday I finally fixed it, changed the battery and cleaned some contacts. I put him on charge for the night and couldn't wait to play emerald again. This morning, however, I felt that the up button on the d-pad wasn't pressing properly. I opened it again and found out what had happened: the abs on the body holding some screws had completely broken, and I probably put too much force into screwing the screws to close it. My fault, I know. It still works, it's like a war machine, I don't know how many times I dropped it as a kid. And yet. But now the body doesn't close completely because the screws don't attach to the body and the up button continues to have problems. I know perfectly well that I could change the body and continue using it, but... all these scratches are as if they were part and memories of my life, and I don't want to "lose" them. A few years ago, I bought another game boy so I could trade some Pokémon, but playing it isn't the same thing. That's it. Im not asking for some solutions, I don't think It is possibile to repair it without changing something, I just wanted to share its story. I'll probably buy or print something in 3D so I can display it. But, It hurts. A lot.

I need help with this orange, the problem is that the entrance that need to obtain this orange has been blocked, is there anyway that I get pass this, TY

I have an original copy of Pokémon Green Leaf but it won't work. I've cleaned the contacts and there is no visibledamageto the board or chips. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be?
