is it fixable or should i ask my money back?

Ignore the screw covers, they disintegrated as I took them out and I have new ones on the way lol

Shell is one of the soft touch ones from ExtremeRate. It feels pretty nice to hold and looks great, especially in person.

Top and bottom stickers were designed by me and printed on regular printer paper with scotch tape over it, then cut out with my amazing X-acto knife skills, which is why they look awful.

Overall happy with how it turned out and excited to revisit the MMZ games on this thing

This isn't the best ending but it's a decent one I'd say.

This little oddish is amazing 10 straight turns with stun spore and flipping heads to paralyze. They were able to build Venusaur on the bench and win the match! I just started the game and am still using the premade deck until I can build up cards.

I've been working on Chiptune Hero, a Guitar Hero-inspired rhythm game for the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color.

I started prototyping in gbstudio then finished with custom engine. I needed the frametime to be Quick.

I hope I don break some subredit rule with this.

It features 15 songs, 3 difficulty levels, link cable multiplayer, and online leaderboards using QR codes :)

You can also create your own songs and charts with a separate editor.

The game is free, and I'd love if you give it a try.

Everyone assumes Pokemon carts only go up, so I compared the first 30 days of my tracking against the last 30. Loose carts, US eBay Buy It Now listings, average of the daily median asking price.

FireRed is around $115 but I only started tracking it in late September, so no comparison yet.

What stood out: - Nothing moved more than 6% either way. If anything the trend is slightly down. - Emerald is still in a league of its own at ~1.4x Crystal. - Gen 1 and Gen 2 carts all sit in the same $60-70 band.

How it's measured: new listings matching each game, loose carts only, excluding lots/bundles, Japanese and PAL copies, and anything labeled repro, bootleg or fake. Days with fewer than 8 matching listings are left out.

Big caveats: these are asking prices, not sold prices, so actual sales land lower. And fakes that aren't labeled as fakes can still slip in, which is a real issue with Pokemon carts.

Disclosure: the tracker is a project of mine (CresvaMent, it does eBay deal alerts). Daily numbers for each game are here if you want to dig in: https://cresvament.com/deals?ref=reddit

After several days I managed to fix this terribly corroded play it loud blue. It did stink like hell and the front board was eaten. Had to reconstruct maaaany traces and reflow almost everything on both PCBs but I'm super satisfied now. Is it really this rare? I didn't find too many on Ebay. Bought it for ca. 25-27 USD.

Recently found my old pokemon game and got the battery replaced. When starting a new profile and trying to save, this error keeps occurring. Having never really dealt with these kinds of issues, I was unsure where to go since the info on this seems kind of limited. Was wondering if anyone had this occur and what kind of method they used to solve it? Please let me know :)

Not really looking to get the save back, more or less trying to fix the problem to have it fully functional again for a new play through

Worse news. After trying to reflow all chips and soldering another battery. It was all in vain because I discovered the save only dissapears when the cartridge is removed from the console. Any idea why does that happen?

Pics are when I discovered it.

I got a GBA SP, a 3ds xl (wich ill eventually sell and get a new 3ds/2ds xl) and a switch, with this i should be able to play all games from nintendo right?

Edit: in the 3ds i very rarely use the 3d, i dont play games wich require it

I’ve been working on a native GBA port of the game *Super Smash Land*, and it’s nearly finished (I know the game was originally intended for the classic Game Boy, but running it on that hardware is virtually impossible). I realize this might not generate a huge buzz, as it’s not a game many people remember, but ever since it came out, I’ve been dying to see it running on real hardware—so I felt the time was right to give it a shot and share it with you all. I’ve tested it on an emulator and it works, as well as on real hardware (as shown in the video) using a SuperCard MiniSD (I’m not sure how it performs with other flashcards). If this post gets a positive response, I’ll release the FULL ROM next week.

Just a quick note: I want to give credit to the original creator, Dan Fornace, who made the game for PC. https://www.supersmashland.com/ I hope you enjoy it!

I'm planning to sometime down the line (sometime this year) get a GBC to be able to play og GB and GBC games, and wanted to ask how long it would last on 2 alkaline batteries

I know the batteries are prone to leak the acid and that however I always take them out when they're drained and change them out for fresh so there's not really a chance for that to happen

I did look up online that they usually last around 10-12 hours, however I wanted to actually ask people who have the original GBC how long it typically lasts for them so I have a rough estimate, thank you! :3

Just released Morse Boy, a free Game Boy homebrew ROM for learning, sending, receiving, and decoding Morse code.

Multiple practice modes, adjustable speeds, and a fast-refresh interface. I'm also exploring the possibility of connecting a real Morse keyer through emulation.

Think you can hit 60 WPM? 😂

Or better yet, hand it to your grandpa. He might absolutely smoke you.

Created with ChatGPT/coding-tool assistance. Tested in emulation; original hardware compatibility hasn't been verified yet.

Looks like a broke 3, maybe 4 connections here, any ideas what components I'd need to solder to each other to have the sound working again? Honestly seemingly one of the worst places to scratch.

Im not experienced enough to be using magnet wire to fix this, am trying to trace using this picture and the scans from RetroSix and am having a real tough time figuring it out.

Wondering if anyone here has done circuit trace repair in a similar area.

Found an old sticker book where you draw and make stickers from premade cutouts, so I added Chuck E, ness, and Kenny, the. A Mountain Dew logo on the back

Went to a secondhand shop near me to look at SPs. Rough conversions at today's rate (160 yen to the dollar):

- Famicom color SP, console only, 66,000 yen (about $410)

- Pearl Pink, boxed, 60,500 yen (about $380)

- Onyx Black, boxed, 55,000 yen (about $345)

- Boktai "Django Red", scratched, 55,000 yen (about $345)

- Toys R Us limited, scratched, 55,000 yen (about $345)

- Onyx Black / Pearl Blue / Platinum Silver, console only, with scratches, 29,700 yen each (about $185)

The handwritten notes on the tags say things like "scratches on the body" and "mint". A scratched SP was around 5,000 yen (about $30) here not that many years ago.

For the record I didn’t use the original shell, I bought a whole kit for this mod, only the buttons remain original. Boy, it made a difference!

Title says it all. What could be the problem? Cold solder in the left chip?

Restored these bad boys as they didn't work before new lenses speakers and internal cleaning!
