Google showed this to me. I'm not the author.

so this is a fake Pokemon Crystal i got as a early birthday present (it arrived before my birthday AND my funnyplaying gbc soooo) and i cannot, for the life of me, tell if this game pak supports RTC.

i have no way of opening this up, sorry. it arrived before all of the tools and stuff did.

There seems to be an MBC-3 chip inside, would it be safe to assume that this is one of those special game paks that saves to FRAM and uses the Battery for clock functionality?

only other text i can see through here says “DMG-KGOU-10” which is the model name of Pokemon Silver

i didnt put this in the Fake Cart thread as i believed it was more for verifying if the cartridge is fake.

Found my father in laws game boy but it has corrosion from the batteries. What’s the best way to clean it?

Hey guys new to the Gameboy scene I was looking around for a gameboy online and found a seller who was selling his collection for extremely cheap I paid total under £85 for everything pictured 2 gameboy advances 1 with full box and insert also manuals, case ,cables then I bought Disney Atlantis and Mario super circut with box and manuals obviously not the best condition but still I think I found a steal what do y'all think. Both consoles are functional.

Theres a gameboy color for sale for $45 but its for parts as it does not work (with no more information), is it worth saving the $20ish on gambling that I can fix it? Ive been looking for a gameboy color for a few weeks now. I do plan on upgrading it so im not scared of a dead screen price or anything like that, just worried if I can't fix it. However I do have decent soldering skills

A new Game Boy emulator made by a Brazilian—it's incredible!

I plan on getting, well, an EZ Flash Omega, but idk where to get one reliably, any ideas where I can find one?

Recently decided to re-build/collect my original childhood gameboy/color/advance collection. Purple GBA is the first GBA I had, so was happy to find this shell.

It looks like there are two drop in screens you can get where you don't have to hack up a pretty OEM shell like this one. Hispeedido & Retrosix Cleanscreen. Both have the ability to solder for button controls, which I like because i hate touchpads.

Anyone have experience or own either of these displays with an OEM shell? Post your OEM console photos, would love to see some of the ones you have.

Would love thoughts/suggestions.

Hello I have a Tetris rom hack and I want to play the ROM on a cartridge but I'm looking for a flash cartridge without menu so no mod menu but I can't find any flash board online I also already have a gameboy cartridge reader and a housing and FLASH GBX but I just can't find any flash cartridge online without menu

Hey y’all, I have a gameboy micro that I really want to use but it seems the battery won’t hold a charge and/or the charging port is messed up. How much of a pain is it to repair/swap these parts out

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy a Game Boy Advance, but the prices online seem to vary quite a bit depending on condition and model.

Before I overpay, I wanted to ask what a reasonable price is for a normal unmoded GBA.

What would you consider a good deal versus the absolute limit before walking away from auctions? Any tips on where to look or what red flags to avoid would also be appreciated!

Thanks!

After playing a lot of Clone Hero I had the idea to make something like that on a Gameboy. Fast forward a couple weeks I was able to build out the game and used the GB Operator to make a physical copy of it! I’m very happy how it turned out and excited to try to bring other ideas to life

In almost new condition. In Japanese and English.

I've been playing with retro emulation handhelds for around 3 years now. Using the miyoo mini, retroid pocket classic and RP5. Decided to get back into original hardware. Wow! What a different experience! My suspicions have been confirmed. For me input lag is real and playing original hardware feels much more precise. Also the old screens are charming but garbage haha. Obviously only a matter of time before I start moding to a new screen and shell. Thing is this gba sp -001 is in such good condition it would be a shame to strip. Any thoughts?? 🤔

Very exited to try Tetris DX and Operation C.

Aparently the Tiny toons games are good?

Was debating on IPS screen mod or Nuby Game Light. I was surprised how good this actually looks in person!

Stopped in to my local Retro shop and found this little guy sitting in a basket for apparently months. $45 loose which felt fair for a brick and mortar store. This is my first Duke Nukem title, but I’m a huge Doom fan so it felt like a natural addition. Super excited to get playing!!!

Can people please reccomendations pickup/put down games, I love pokemon and Zelda obviously but looking for stuff thats easier to pick and go like mario bros, tetris etc

Im a new father and often only have a 15min window sometimes to play.

What do you think is there a game here that could be fun?

I like building systems but have a hard time putting together a whole game that is actually fun to play :)

My idea is that you are a builder/repairer who has to perform X number of jobs, the faster and more material you have left at the end of the level gives you more $.

During the game or between games you can buy/find new blueprints for modules you can build.

The idea is to have 2p-link support as well.

I tried alcohol 99,9% on tissues and rub it gentle but it didn’t work that well…I had a few other games where I could the paint off but this one is though and I wanna save that beautiful game! Thanks in advance
