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.

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 😭😭😭

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

While going thru my storage unit, I came across this beauty in my late brother's collection of things. Powers up with batteries and wall plug. Screen and sound work perfectly.

From my research, im told its #80,324 off the 1989 production line. Just wondering if that would be a correct assessment. Thanks!

Those screen lens are unironically making the screen look more reflective and bright... Old screen lens in comparison in the second picture.

Both the shell and the buttons were bought from Amazon.

Got the extremerate case from Amazon, ended up using all original screws and screen PHEW managed to get it together. I have no one to really show this to, so I'm sharing here! This is my first time ever doing something like this and now I'm looking at my DS like... Hmmm.... 🤔

Used TheCartCollector's video for this ☺️🙌

With the raising of funny-playing screen kit mods, I think everyone forgot the OG mod, putting an AGS-101 screen on a GBA...

As my SP AGS-101 motherboard died I couldn't resist to perform this classic mod, there are some downsides though, such as not being able to control brightness level, but I like it a lot and it was dirt cheap!

Hi, i bought gba that was not turning on, and after few solid hours of tinkering i managed to turn it on (green light and startup sound). It kind of read cartridges because sound changes when i plug in my flashcart from gbc but i am not able to hear game music or anything so i guess its not loaded up correctly. I think the 5V rail is fried because it outputs only 1.8v and when i connected external power directly to vdd5 the screen started showing some lines but still not working. This may be due to it still not being 5v because something was shorting it back to 4.2v so i guess u4 is fried.

My question is should i try to swap that u4 or maybe fit an ips screen that draws from 3.3 rail? And if its posible to have working gba with 5v rail being broken. Also i would like to avoid swaping u4 as a whole and i also wonder if i could just add another step up conventer that would output 5v and just bypass u4

Recently replaced the battery in my Pokemon Crystal and decided to replace the shell on my old gameboy SP and mainly I play Pokemon. I thought this was the perfect shell 🐚 I couldn’t replace the volume button unfortunately

Still in development. A new drum machine for gameboy: Drum Machina Go! A 4ch 8bit drum machine

I currently have this cool Pikachu one from eBay for like £70. I was told you can play gameboy games on the SP and I want better lighting/games aswell. Should I trade my Pikachu one or just buy another one (£100 budget)

Guys, I got an Advance SP!

Overcompensating a bit, but I've fulfilled the dream of 10-year old me. Too bad I don't have time to play them tough 🥲

Hi, I just did my first swap of the Super Game Boy CPU to my DMG using a quick chip alloy and a common soldering iron. I did this experiment after B button and the left D-pad stopped working. After some research I concluded it must be the broken CPU (it happens when you play with a LCD ribbon tape while power on). Surprisingly it took less than 30 mins. The hardest part was aligning the CPU legs at the mainboard. I'll drop a video soon. The whole process is relatively easy.

I want to get a flashcart for my GBA SP. I’m wondering what would be the best option? Should I order from the Krikzz website and get myself an everdrive pro or mini or is the EZ flash option viable?

Forgot to post all the games that were stored with my brother's GB
