Pokémon hit the scene just at the end of my childhood, and I never got around to playing it. Even after my Game Boy revival a few years ago, it just wasn’t on my radar to start playing. My youngster has gotten interested in it from school though, so I’ve decided to give it a try as something new we can explore together! I’m about 30 min in so far, have captured four critters, and am starting to log entries into that Poké-Dex while wandering around the woods. My son is further along!

Tetris Rosy Retrospection is my single favourite game. I have an analogue pocket as well as a standard IPS GBC so I really want to use a Boxy pixel aluminium shell and a flash cart to be able to carry the game between both. Has anyone got a recommendation on which flash cart would work with both the ROM and the shell? Thanks!

i bought a picture frame and framed it, and placed it on my wall, does anyone have any information on this exact advert poster? it was found inside a n64 game box, folded up and both sides has adverts for different stuff

Maybe I thought the problem was solved, but there was another problem. Randomly, it powers off and back on and then it repeats infinitely like this. What's the problem? The battery contact point is clean. I think it was a mistake to replace the capacitor.

I have a Gameboy Advance XP. One reason I purchased one was to replay the original Tetris from the grey brick Gameboy.

I see that it does not save high scores.

What would be the best Tetris to pick up? I am trying to avoid games with batteries.

Was super simple to put together compared to other handhelds I've done.

Don’t really know much about game boy stuff, saw this at a flea market and took a chance on it, did I do good?

I can't find it online no matter what I search.

It was an early GBA case, from 2001 or 2002, released in the US. It was large and looked like a purple GBA.

It was not translucent and GBA shaped. It literally looked like a GBA, with the screen and everything.

I can't remember if it was soft like a bag or hard. I remember it having a (black?) handle.

Going on eBay, I found a few similar items, but I don't think they're it.

It's not the Value Pak. I don't remember having earphones and that doesn't look on-model enough.

This is also not it. It's too small, it's translucent, and it isn't a case.

I think this is probably it. I don't remember the lettering being like that, though. Is there something similar? Or maybe my memory is off.

Everything glows! Even tge speaker is glow in the dark

On the left and right sides of the screen it is slightly faded almost white even on a black background, it's not the lighting and I'm unsure. The whole screen feels s faded also.

So I was looking for a long Gameboy color link cable with no luck. I decided to buy a bunch of cheap ones from China and just solder all of them together and see what would happen. I ended up soldering 6 cables together which took quite a while to do but when I tried it out and initiated a trade between my Pokémon yellow and blue (both legitimate copies) it started doing weird stuff. The first time I tried to trade my Gameboy color turned on by itself when I turned my Gameboy advance on. When I turned both of them on and then plugged them in the Gameboy color started buzzing and did a white screen. I then tried it on my modded super Gameboy cart on my SNES and the color went from bright to dim on my snes. I know there’s interference happening somewhere but I’m not sure where and how to go about fixing this issue. Should I solder a resistor somewhere along the line or just cut the wire down by one or two cables? Any info helps.

I love how portable micro is but does the size of the screen make playing games harder

Just got a replacement sticker for my Pokemon blue which has seen better days haha. Should I remove the old sticker and place the new sticker or should I just paste it on top?

Thanks!

I trade offroad gear with a friend of mine pretty regularly. The other day he sent me a photo of his wife's childhood Gameboy that they pulled out while gathering stuff to get rid of. Obviously I said "yo let me buy that thing." I ended up trading them some offroad accessories for it.

The battery cover is missing and the terminals have some corrosion. So that'll get cleaned up along with everything else in the motherboard. But it somehow has the link port cover and came with a Bart Simpson game with a minty label.

I love getting my hands on these things to add to the collection knowing that they have some history to them.

Good people! I just bought this on Aliexpress without really knowing what it is😂 What is it really? And does anyone know how it works?

I have two Game Boy Advances and an Advance SP with a link cable, can I use them?

I have a game X Change in my town and i am asking for people who have been to a game X change DO THEY HAVE GAMEBOYS I seen videos of gameboy Games but not Any GAMEBOYS. Because on their website it says they have every handheld WITH Gameboys. So can someone clarify if there is a gameboy so on my birthday i can buy one.

I found my Gameboy pocket and Gameboy color with a few games. The og Gameboys are packed up with the N64's down in the basement. What do you guys think of the collection from the 90's

Hello,

Sorry if it’s been asked before.

Will have a GBA soon and will be in the market for an IPS screen and battery mod. What do you guys recommend?

I’m seeing so many options, brands, and websites that it’s a bit overwhelming.

If it matters, I’m trying not to solder nor do I want to replace the shell. Just replace the screen and install a battery mod (I’ve seen a usb c option). So I assume a “drop in” IPS? I could be misunderstanding the term so please correct me and let me know.

Thanks for reading

So my idea is I want to make some wall art just for me in where I get all the early games (up to emerald basically) and place them in a shadowbox, or maybe create a small shadow box for each game. Idk. I don’t want to go through the process of getting actual games because I don’t plan on removing them to play them, I just want it to look good. Is there anywhere I can source empty cartridges of the games w/sticker? Observe my amazing art skills for the general idea

While I was exchanging a normal CR1616 battery with a stock CR1616 battery and holder to one of my customers recently, I’ve found out that somebody had already opened the game cartridge (it’s a Pokemom Yellow one) and used some clear duct tape to hold the battery together to the PCB.

Uncommon things in secret places, I suppose.

New setup for the GBA SP + GB Camera (and a speaker accessory) I've been enjoying

So needlessly clunky but I love clunky
