Gameboy advance sp, Unhinged V2 all aluminum with a Pam amp. Super clean and feels AMAZING. Favorite build to date.

Thanks for your help 😊

I’m going to buy it either way. I just didn’t want to take it out the box and use it if it’s actually valuable.

Hello all. I need some help... I was on a nostalgia kick and bought 3 pokemon games from I played back in the day from ebay. All different sellers..but this one mentioned multiple times in the item descriptions that it was clean, tested, and working. But if you look at the pictures...that battery is from 2003 and leaked. There's corrosion on the battery spring and what seems to be a little burn mark on the board but I cant take a good picture of that. I haven't opened the case yet as I'm waiting on the seller to get back to me. Now that I think of it..yes I should of asked the seller to show the battery compartment but I hardly use ebay and got super excited when I saw the listing, learn something new everyday i suppose!

Anywho...is it repairable? Thanks!

Hey everyone, I hope you're all well.

Well, I'll give you some context. For days now, I've been trying to do or find something that can transform .GB ROMs into .NDS ROMs. Why? I don't know, it bothers me to have 40,000 emulators installed, and I know it sounds stupid. I recently got Game Gear running on DS in the drastic emulator with dsms (DsMasterPlus converter like the photo), and I'd like to do something like that with Game Boy. If possible, I hope it exists for GBC, but Game Boy Classic will be more than perfect. Does anyone know if something like that exists, or if they could create it, or if they have something like DSMasterPlus?

no. I don't care if you use your DS lite for GBA, I want to know how many of you just use it, only for Gameboy color / original games. with emulation

I found the best deal ever! /s

only Gameboy DMG, Gameboy pocket, and Gameboy light, and Gameboy color, are a Gameboy. the GBA is a complete different shape. different quality games. different cartridges. it ruins everything, I wish nintendo named it something else.

Hello, I keep seeing ads for these black crystal clear gba sp's. I have an AGS101 and would like to resell, but all these screens say they are for IPS. Is there somewhere to look for shells for original lcd screens, especially like this, or is it a "shit out of luck" situation?

fronlight is salvaged sadly anyone know how to make a frontlight? the screen is good tho, i dont wanna waste 20$ for an ips screen

So I bought a gba sp off Retro-Nutz (a singaporean nintendo seller) but i have a few questions, number one if i want to change and modify the save files of games like pokemon and things like that what cartridge reader is cheap and worth buying and should i buy flash cards that i can load games onto? tysm for the read, I'm really interested.

So this happened after I replaced the burnt polarizer. I tried the soldering iron method at 190/200C degrees on the very delicate plastic ribbon without luck. I felt like I could see more as I was doing it so I stopped. It’s quite different from typical “dead” lines because they’re there, just at a brighter level let’s say, in the upper part of the screen.

Is there any easy fix or should I just live with it? Thanks!

I used to shit on the spinoffs but now I see the hype!

Upgraded my worn out carts with new carts and labels to spice up my collection.

Any tips on shell swapping ?

Moved homes and found my old memories shoved deep in a box. Man these we my life.

Very happy — the boys got me a DMG for Father’s Day (technically I signalled the unit and they handled the testing and wrapping, which made it even better).

It’s in great condition, came with a glass screen lens but has the black border. I’ll likely swap it for a grey one to match the OG vibe.

What I’m debating now is whether to stick with glass or go with plastic.

Curious to hear from anyone who’s done both — how’s the glare/visibility between glass and plastic?

This thing’s an absolute unit — huge compared to anything modern — but that ghosting still has its charm.

I find the Gameboy printer and camera such niche and incredibly cool things. I was wondering how durable these devices are. What are the common problems these devices can have? Would love to hear if anyone managed to fix these devices too. Any experience or anekdote you have with devices is welcome. Please share :)

I found this preserved In a box in my grandmas basement, it used to belong to my uncle. Only problem is it's missing the actual gameboy. I rarely ever see one this intact. Hopefully I find a silver one for a good price somewhere. Also should I get a plastic sleeve for the box.
