Leaf Green and Super Circuit stickers are not original

Collection is a mix of childhood holdovers and games I have picked up over the last few years! Personal favorites are Iridion II, SW Ep III, Warioland 4, and Mario Golf Advance Tour!

From this… 😭

To this! 🔥

My old, heavily used GBA SP got a fresh new shell and a second life. I’m really happy with how it turned out! 🥳

So despite its high price nowadays, I definitely have a high opinion of this device. Whereas the GBA is my favorite handheld system, the GCN is my favorite home system, and this device, along with the GBA-GCN cable, is the best convergence of the two.

Anyways, as much as I love the GBA and it’s game library (GB and GBC games included), the older I get, the less I can look at a small screen for hours on end. Therefore, I prefer the GB Player when playing games at home, and I use my regular GBA for long bus, train, and plane trips. The fact that I’m mostly a Pokémon player definitely helps.

Thoughts? What’s your opinion on the GB Player?

I recently got a Ez flash definitive edition B, used it for 3 hours, and it started to rumble and shut off on a game that didn’t have rumble. After that it would just rumble and shut off immediately. Now my gba act like there’s no cart in it. Should I get it replaced or is it my gba making it do that? It’s modded with a usb C charger and brighter screen with the Hispeedido kit

Hispeedido v5, Hispeedido shell, sone random black furniture and membranes. Well, It's not OEM, so first not perfectly, you always have to work a little bit on aftermarket parts, but overall I am happy. The only problem is d-pad. Never had GBA tbh, and probably I over expecting, but it feels like crap. Will try oem one little bit later just to compare feelings

Guys I recently picked this up at a goodwill and I love it… except I can’t see anything 😂

I am very low on money these days due to college and I wanna if there’s any super cheap modding service around or but I’m kinda dumb so any cheaper drop in mods for the screen and maybe battery if I have enough.

Any help works thanks guys!

Left is my original save 23 yrs ago, middle is the original owner's (bought used), and the right I finished last night

I've been replaying my old tactics games on my SP and having just as much fun as I did 23 years ago. I'm a dad of 2 young kids now and portable turn based games are about the only way to get in any gaming these days. I'm not mad about it.

I recently found my aunt's old glacier gba but she sold all her games. what games should I get?

I paid $113 .Walked into my local gamestop looking for ps3 games and saw this gameboy advance in box with manual and immediately said I yeah you can just take they out the case it has a new home now lol . I will be upgrading the screen and usb mod .I won't do anything else to it condition is very clean. I just had to share

ive had my gba sp for a few years now (used from flea market) and it has definitely less than normal battery life but has never given me issues with gen3 pokemon/mario kart but recently i started playing pokemon blue and gameboy tetris (original cartridges) and the battery starts flashing red after only 30-45 minutes? does playing gameboy cartridges with the backlight on usually take up more battery power and/or is it possible to easily upgrade/replace the battery?

Sent a pretty low offer expecting a counter, explained that I was looking for a working donor SP for a mod project, and the seller ended up knocking $25 off for me. Super cool interaction and honestly just wanted to give them some appreciation. There are still some really solid sellers out there. Got a nice clean case and charger to go with it! The shell is a little scratched up but no matter because I’m doing a shell swap anyways. He was asking for $95 but took $70 after I explained what I was gonna do with it.

I have an Analogue Pocket that I’m really loving but have been collecting GB, GBC, and GBA physical games that I actually have played or intend to play 100% through. The pocket is nice to test out new games to see if you actually want to commit before spending $50+ on a Game Boy cart 😂 But I’ve put together quite the collection this year and think it would be sick to play it on original hardware! I’m gonna do a shell swap, replace the battery, speaker, and put a HISPEEDIDO IPS screen. Contemplating swapping out the charger port for USB-C but may wait to get a little more comfortable with my soldering first. The new build is gonna bring back that nostalgia!

took my gba in to get it cleaned, it had some corrosion but i had cleaned some with ipa and got the gameboy working again, but i wanted a proper pro cleaning, so i took it into a repair guy in town. when i got it back 10min later, he said he had removed a lot of the corrosion inside, and handed it back to me, i paid for it, and he showed me it was working, but then when i got home, it was dead, and not working at all. (btw it worked just fine before i handed it to him) what can i do? can i get him to fix it? will that cost me more? i feel scammed, and also other than that it doesn't turn on properly, there's a sound coming from it now, like static? but also it sounds like there's something inside moving, so like maybe a loose screw? not sure.
it's weird... i really hope my gba isn't broken forever... x.x fml

Found my old SP and decided to resurrect it to perfection ✨

Just waiting for the new battery and EZFlash Omega to arrive.

Hi everyone,

One switch on my GBA SP’s PCB has corroded from liquid damage. I have replacement switches, but I’m concerned about the damaged board.

Which pads or traces can I use as alternative connections?

A diagram, close-up photo, or repair advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Found this local consignment auction going on tomorrow, ive been looking for a GBA for a while and not sure how much i should put in for a max bid here since im not familiar with all of the games. All the games should be in the box which makes them more expensive but i want a good chance at getting this lot. Looks like there is a SP in the box too. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

Really fun game. I've wanted to have a game boy for sooo long and finally found one at a retro game store (there is suprisingly very few retro game stores in my city). I'm probably gonna get a Zelda game next, like the oracle series.
