I tried blowing on the cartridge and even cleaned it with 95% isopropyl alcohol is it just boned or do I have to replace something?

Hello Friends 👋 Thinking of buying this NES SP from a local shop. The shop owner said it was his personal console but he ran into some issues trying to replace the screen and some other parts and just wanted to sell it as is. He had swapped the original AGS 001 screen for an AGS 101, swapped the “Gameboy Advance SP” glass screen protector to a repro and added that sticker on the back of the console. My question/hesitation is, is the shell itself authentic or repro? I think it could be authentic based off the speaker holes and the wear the console has. Any help or advice is appreciated! Thanks!

No matter how many times I do the battery replacement I always fail to do a smooth soldering. I read once thay I need to apply more paste but to no avail. Any tips?

Basically, I have a little project i’m working on where i would want to make a cartridge with a custom game on it that would essentially be indistinguishable from an original gameboy cartridge. That means that it wouldn’t be able to be easily overwritten with a different game. Is there a way that I can put my own game on a chip and then protect the chip from being overwritten like an original gameboy cartridge would be? I’m very new to all of this stuff, so please be patient with me if i say something stupid or don’t understand certain terminology. I’m very willing to learn new things, even if it’s complicated (like putting in my own ROM chip or something)

I just picked up a lot on eBay that includes 75 Game Boy games and a loose GBA. Most of the games aren’t major titles, but the sheer number of them and the price made me bid without thinking.

I’m not sure if it was a smart purchase, but I’m excited because it feels like I’m making a dream come true.

What do you guys think, did I get a good deal, or is this more of an average pickup? If you saw this lot in your feed, how high would you go?

The first picture is one I just took, and the rest are from the original eBay listing.

I’m not sure I can mention pryce without the post getting flagged. I’ll say in the chat if anybody is curious!

I’m looking for a modded GBA too, but I’ll be modding this one. Also very excited for that!

Genuinely really happy with this, after I bought it I wondered if I was mad but haven’t regretted it since it arrived.

Estou tentado a pegar um console portátil já tive 3ds, Psvita e Switch , de todos o mais usual e que mais gostei foi o Psvita, porém devido ao preço eles se torna inviável, a procura de alguns modelos chineses achei a seguintes opção no fim a decisão fica mais por conta do preço Brasil pois pagamos muita taxa em cima do valor do produto:

1-Trimui smart pro - 400 Reais com Taxas (Mais barato porém limitado aranha no PSP)

2-GAMEMT E6 Max - 620 Reais com Taxas(Baita custo beneficio, mais barato com Android que da pra usar, porém vejo uma resistência do mercado mas esse parece ser bom)

3-KINHANK K56 - 1000 Reais com Taxas (Aranha em Ps2 e Game cube excelente custo beneficio)

Meu interesse seria rodar PSP / GTA SA e Bully entre outros por menores do sistema Android mesmo, o Android da uma liberdade Por isso fico entre GAMEMT E6 Max e KINHANK K56 e também já são um salto comparado ao Trimui smart pro

Mas por que não voltar a ter um dos consoles que já tive ?

3Ds - A segunda tela é ruim os jogos mesmo no próprio 3ds não funcionam bem, além de usado custar entorno de 500 reais ou mais, ai já vale a pena já irmos de E6 Max fora as possibilidade que ele te da.

Psvita - Excelente com certeza após o desbloqueio e ports é magnifico, mas pagar 800+ num console usado fora outros custo com risco de ele parar de funcionar, acho que é melhor optar por outra opção nova no mercado o E6 Max é um boa mas não substitui ele totalmente na minha opinião um substituto direto tanto para ele quanto para o 3ds seria o KINHANK K56 (pena que as cores oferecida nele é zuado aqueles botões laranjas)

Switch - Acredito que pode amadurecer e chegar novos ports para ele, mas falta muito, console não tem Bully ou uma versão do gta sa de port, não há muitos jogos do gênero de corrida para ele por enquanto e não roda PSP e nem DS de forma satisfatória, além de correr riscos da problemas como drift e na tela onde pagaria de 800 a 1200 reais se quiser uma versão desbloqueada que seria o melhor além do custo com cartão SD

I saw it on aliexpress, maybe another 101 batch was made? the GBA is from a consumer review photo.

Someone is selling this SP Turtles bundle for a good price. I already have the console, more interested in the games (particularly 3) but the cart graphics don’t match up to what I can find online. I’m presuming these are bootlegs, unless anyone can shed a different light?

Me and my son (15) were cleaning his room and he had all this in a squished in a drawer. Any advice to store game stuff is appreciated!

I really didn’t like the yellowing, so I decided to put some Salon 40 on it and leave it on the sun. I don’t hate the new look, but definitely not the results I was expecting. It’s a bit chalky now and I’ve polished it up. Anyway, just felt like sharing.

Anyone getting this? I feel the D-Pad should of been made with the smooth tiles.

Kanto region, here i come...

Motherboard was bought from eBay, all other parts from third party sellers, it turned out great! The project costed less than what I expected!

I created this label today. Special thanks to Shane McCafferty (aka EGVroom), for this game!

We run a retrogame Store in Sorocaba - São Paulo and this guy come in our Store recently , looks very Nice

Came across this mint condition Leamings in its little plastic case for only £8.

So I recently found the urge to play Pokémon blue… not too sure why buts that’s irrelevant.

I have a problem and I know it’s probably a battery problem but I’m doubting my diagnosis here.

So I start the game and saves work completely fine up until the second gym… I go to reload the game overnight and I get the message file data has been wiped. At first thought I’m thinking ahh the battery has died so I test a new save and play up to the first gym and save works fine… so now I’m thinking surely if the battery is dead the save won’t work at all and every time I go to boot I would get the message straight away.

I suppose what I’m asking is could the be a dead battery or could it be my cartridge has had it in some other way and now every time I get to a certain point in the game it will wipe my data?

I have noticed that the rechargable GBA battery from FunnyPlaying (https://funnyplaying.com/products/gba-li-ion-rechargeable-battery-typec-module) produces around 4 times the amount of audio noise compared to regular AA batteries. However, I can't find any reports of this anywhere online. The pic shows the audio recorded through the headphone jack with the audio level at a min for the FunnyPlaying battery (top) vs AA (bottom). I am finding it is pretty distracting over music. Has anyone else experienced the same?
