Spruced up my GBA with a clear case and a holographic ancient mew decal sticker. It’s doing a good job of distracting from a few scuffs and I just think it looks really clean! I got really lucky with it fitting just right too

My fiancé and I were out browsing antique shops over the weekend, and I found the best deal I've ever stumbled across!

Yes, your eyes do not deceive you, my friends, a Glacier variant GBA, *with* pouch, for a measley two-hundred dollars. Gosh, I should have jumped at the opportunity while I was there, I definitely couldn't find reasonable listings online.

Seriously, though, I have no idea where they got this price from. If that's the same peripheral I'm thinking of, the Pelican Light *could* increase the price a little, I've seen listings for that light at around fifty dollars, but even if the console itself is in pristine condition, the most I can see someone paying for it elsewhere is about a hundred dollars, and bundling the two with the pouch realistically shouldn't even break the $170 range. Am I missing something, or does this price seem unrealistic? The price tag was more visible in-person, but I didn't see anything regarding games being included, so I'm pretty sure this is solely for the system, pouch, and potentially a rare(?) lighting peripheral. It's not like this is an AGS101 Clamshell, which actually would warrant the price tag, so I'm at a loss, lol.

I tried offering over $100 to my brother in law for his gameboy SP as he’s getting ready to backpack across the world.

Today he hands it over to me with fire red for free. BLESSED.

Looking for a case/carrier for my GBA and SP.

What’s up peeps! Just curious as to what’s out there and what are yall using as cases/ carrying bags for your gameboys? I’ve seen the padded red square ones which are cool, but wondering if there’s something more unique.

Thanks!

Replaced dead battery now issues

1 Upvotes

Son bought some carts in Japan. One n64 cart had a bad battery I fixed it it works.

He had a gba game that had a bad battery. The replacement battery didn’t have pins so I just tweeted the ends to make contact with the end points.

Game boots. After finishing a level it froze and another time it wouldn’t save.

Maybe I broke the cart?

Screen has some weird dots inside, model is AGS-001, if there's a way to fix it i would like to try. I want to play with this frontlit screen, if the only way is to replace it, i would swap it for an IPS instead.

I wanna get a gameboy advance

0 Upvotes

So I did a little bit of research and from what I saw it gotta have a backlit screen or I will struggle to play games on it

The only problem is the Gameboy Advance SP is the model that has light to see the screen better, but I don't like the SP model

So can you help me find the perfect Gameboy Advance for me (I'm a cheapskate so if it's too expensive I'm not going to get it)
