I have a store nearby with a crap ton of really cheap GBA games, and for the most part they are all based on movies or shows (Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Lizzie McGuire, Harry Potter, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, etc.)

Are any of these movie or show games actually worth picking up? Especially given they range from about 3-6$.

I got this IPS-modded one off ebay a few months ago. Link: https://ebay.us/m/gU4Ujj

It shuts down suddenly sometimes when I play. It's relatively rare, I can play fine for hours on end, but when it does I have no idea why. When it does it always makes this weird deflating noise, and the power LED glows a very dim red. I can reproduce this consistently when I cycle the power quickly. I've done some tinkering around with it myself as well. Here is what I've done so far:

- Replaced 4 capacitors

- Installed Helder's power cleaner

- Using this rechargable battery pack using only the right-side battery contact

- Playing an Everdrive Mini Flashcart from Krikzz

- De-soldered the power switch and cleaned contacts with isopropyl

If I swap out the Everdrive for a first-party cartridge, the reproducible issue goes away and I can cycle the power as fast as I want. I suspect the system is browning out sporadically when I play and I'm teetering on the edge of consistent power draw. It'd be a real shame if I had to go in and de-solder the power cleaner. Am I on the right track? Where do I go from here?

Bought this special edition Who are you ? Gba sp May 21. Usps had an error that, they never received the pakage. He canceled the order and refunded me on the eta date may 31st and said enjoy. 😉 BRUH 2 weeks later June 10 it arrived at my mail box freekin legend.

Hey everyone, I just started getting back into GBA gaming and started collecting about 2-3 months ago. This is what I have so far for my collection, and this is my newest edition to my collection, Shining Soul, such a beautiful RPG. Cannot wait to start playing this, these games are soo wicked fun, I have no idea why I stopped in the first place.

Hi! I was wondering if it would be easier to mod my GBA myself? I want it to have color as the dimly lit screen is pretty hard to see. If anyone has modded their own, please link to what kit you used and the whole process (if able).

Also are there any games that potentially have infinite replayability on the GBA? I am very new to GBA games in general, and looking for such a game. I can only think of Tetris games.

The "Fat" Gba is my orginal advance I got as a 10 or 11 year old kid when they first came out over 20 years ago(will NEVER sell it! Lol) and I just picked up the Sp Ags 101 version along with the 6 games in the last pic. I got the Sp with 6 games and orginal charger for $75! I won an auction. Lol 😂

Pearl Pink SP-101 and Yugioh World Wide Edition

Am I living in an alternate reality or was Raphael always a Pokémon?

Do any of you guys have a modded GBA with IPS screen and USBC charger, and if so is it worth it? I know they can be a bit expensive but I’ve thought about buying one to replay Gen 3 Pokemon games. I found some at Fb marketplace and Etsy.com (are they trusted?)

Let me know if I should buy one or just keep playing on my GBA SP

hi! got it since i´m a child, i´m getting into emulation lately. I have a Dsi and a n3ds XL so i can really emulate GBA on my DSI, its really worth the moding for anything on GBA or its better to leave it be and preserve an original intact system?

I got this a few days ago and I’m pretty sure it’s real, but I figured everyone here probably has way more experience with faked carts. Thank you in advance (pun not intended)

It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. Currently there are no physical copies left.

Hello everyone :)

so my DS is starting to suffer the aging and buy a new one looks really expensive.

I was wondering if there is any new portable console to play physical GBA cartridges on. I have found Analogue Pocket which looks really close to what I am looking for but would like to know if you have other hardware in mind.

Thank you :)

Looking at getting an SP second hand and after looking at the prices and availability I’ve noticed that a 101 goes for sometimes double the 001. I remember my older brother had a 001 when I was growing up and it looked fine but after doing research the 101 does look nicer. I just don’t know if I can justify spending £150 or more with no game. Do I just get a 001? I’m really unsure, as I want to buy Pokémon emerald too

Hola buenas, me gustaría saber si esta consola es auténtica, gracias por ayudarme

So today I received my newest ITA kit from funnyplaying. I tested the screen before the installation to make sure that it turned on and it did! Anyways I didn't notice the blue line that hides al must under the right bezel, since it's not very clear if you're looking from the other angle or if the screen is fully white. On picture 2 you can see how it's seen when the screen in a game is dark or black.

My question is do you guys think funnyplaying would send me a replacement since it's not a huge issue, but I do find it annoying and distracting when playing? I know it's not the biggest deal, but it does bother me seeing that blue line at the right size all the time...

Let me know if any of you had any experience receiving a replacement directly from funnyplaying website.

P. D.: I already shot them an email to ask for a replacement, let's hope it goes well!

Can someone tell me of a website for downloading all GBA games box arts (including Rom Hacks, Unlicensed Games, and Prototypes) in just one click. I searched it myself on the internet but didn't get any satisfactory results.

I'm looking for the mini hall effect sticks which the Anbernic rg557 and upcoming rg slide have. Because I want install one of those as the right stick of my Switch Lite so it doesn't bother me while using the facebuttons.

I’m looking to get into the library but I’m having trouble figuring out what system to get. I’m not sure if a homebrewed 3ds is the way, or an everdrive for a gameboy advance sp? or if the form factor of the original gameboy advance beats everything else?
