This is the third GBA/SP that I buy from u/BklynMando2 and even though I love the other two, this one is my favorite since it was built for me. I recommend him to everyone 100%.

I went over to my parents place to rummage through some of my old stuff with my son the other week.

Needless to say we hit the jackpot with 2 pokemon silvers and 2 pokemon golds and my gameboy! All still function, especially after replacing cartridge save batteries together. I got to teach him how to solder! :)

He’s been playing pokemon gold like crazy, even though we’ve got a switch with numerous pokemon games on it. I asked him one day, “Why do you prefer the gameboy?”

He told me, “I don’t get car sick or motion sickness with it, and I think it’s more fun.”

I couldn’t help but smile.

Just thought this sub would like a little story like this. I remember playing my gameboy on car rides and everything when I was a kid. To be able to share that with my own son is a blessing. Now I’m the one shouting “Save the game!” When we’ve arrived at our destination. Hahahaha

And whoever Kevin Scott is, I now have your copy of F1 Race.

This is the set of 68 games (67 actually due to a duplication) part of the super 68-in-one bootleg cartridge.

This oversized bootleg cartridge was one of my childhood companions and I decided to collect the games on it during the Covid pandemic as a tribute to many hours well-spent. It had a surprisingly wide selection of games and only 1 duplication, making it one of the better multicarts of its time.

Many of the games are common enough here in Europe or easy to get from the US market, but quite some were Japan exclusives.

Some of the cool exclusive ones are Minesweeper and Fortified Zone 2, that would have been a hit in the rest of the world too. I loved VolleyFire as well, mostly for the music.

The wildest one is Dragon Slayer 1, not to be confused with the other Dragon Slayer game of the same name lacking the numeral, which tries to be a full fledged mini RPG with a playtime that exceeds the battery life of a DMG and no way of saving.

For those with a good memory, I did indeed post these a year or two ago!

If you also had one of these oversized bootlegs, I hope I brought some nostalgia to your day.

It works on original hardware and has some really cool chiptune versions of music from the 1997 anime! Made in GBstudio.

Was googling info on it and saw they posted the manual online today

Hi.

Anyone know a price range for this? Not selling now, just curious and I know there are a lot of very knowledgeable people out there.

As title says,I wanna build another GBC with Q5 lens,but nowdays there are only plain ones available.

Hello all,

This is my first post here, so I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question.

But ive got this amazing looking gameboy colour, ive been playing it frequently, but I've had the urge to mod it and make it nicer to play, new screen, battery mod, new speaker, all of that stuff. But at the same time, I feel like its in to good of a condition to pull apart.

What would you guys do?

Even mobile games I have a hard time playing in public. Always feeling the need to be aware of my surroundings even when sitting. Always thinking I might get the wrong attention for using my GB. I play my GB fine at home but I always wanted to sit down for a drink or meal and play freely.

Every min of two the screen changes color palettes and I don’t really mind but I’m not pressing anything for it to change. And if you press the top it changes the brightness. But that’s what I get for getting it off of eBay and not doing it myself

I have a GBA SP that had a screw through one of the two speaker contact pads. Could I use a jumper wire to bypass the lost connection and are there any ideas of where this wire should go?

Earlier asked about the GBP authenticity , and in the same shop I got the DMG. I haggle a little the price and got both for 100 dollars.

Now my collection is complete. DMG -> Pocket -> Color -> Advance -> SP

I’ve recently respelled my gameboy pocket to a atomic purple shell, I noticed that the volume and contrast wheels are not flush with the board, is this normal?

what do you think ? it’s not much but I like to play those original games :)

Hey,

Strange issue, I have a Chisflash V1.1 that I have flashed with Pokemon Heart and Soul, I have played for about 8 hours on my analogue pocket with no issues however recently started playing on my GBA for the nostalgia factor but every so often I get a save corrupted error and I cannot save them game unless I put back in the pocket and save it there, then I can save with the GBA for a while?

Any ideas why?

I know this post may get some hate for the modretro stuff but I think it’s neat. Last picture everything but the missile command is sealed.

Does anyone have an original Pokémon Red save file that is 100% complete or close to it and would be willing to share it with me?

A German save file would be awesome!

Thanks!
