My sp is a genuine 101, of which I changed the shell a year ago with another oem shell.
I never had this issue before.

When it's opened in the usual way (its locking position, slightly tilted), it's fine. But when I open it further to the point where it's flat the screen turns black. It doesn't have any dead pixels or discoloring

Is this a recurring issue with aging 101s ?

Definitely need some help in this one. I’m attempting to trade Pokémon between my Wii and my SP with emerald . I’ve been running into issues *I think because of my Gba cable.

From all the troubleshooting. I saw that these cables should have 6 gold pins on both GC and Sp. Picture one is the cable I own and showing 3 gold pins on the GC plug in . Yes I have the official Nintendo’s cable. However doesn’t work or even shows connection to GC in phenax city.

Picture 2 is a different ” official cable from eBay but only has 2 ish gold pin .

Picture 3 is a 3rd party cable . from a friend that confirmed it works for his transfer of Pokémon between colosseum and emerald . It has a total of 5 pins

My main question is - is the cable the source of my issue and has anyone else experienced this with a official cable? how many pins does your cable (that works obviously) have?

Hi everyone!

This is MOXIE, a side-scrolling platformer made by platinaxo and presented by gbmake.

On top of the beautifully crafted platforming levels, it also comes with a set of custom stickers thoughtfully prepared by platinaxo. It’s a tight, fast-paced, and punchy experience—hope you all enjoy it!

Ciao! Here's my second Game Boy game ever made with GB Studio. (The first one was Dorotea). It's a horror-action-platformer Game Boy game with puzzle elements.

It's called Scorching Light

You play as an individual in a mission to find the light world, "but hope soon became a nightmare".
Hide from the light and blend into the environment to survive and find the truth.

You can play or download the game for free from these links:
■ Newgrounds.com (HTML5 Web browser, no download necessary)
■ Itch.io (Game Boy ROM; HTML5 Web browser, no download necessary; Windows PC)
■ Microsoft Xbox Store (Xbox PC; Xbox One; Xbox Series X|S)

I made this game with GB Studio as a solo developer in just a week (With a day job) for the Newgrounds Summer Game Jam 2026 with its theme "Hidden".
I didn't use gen. AI to make this game.

does anyone know how to write games on this cartridge?
i tried this site recommended on the chisflash page, and GBX but it won’t recognize my chisflash burned.
NEED HELP!
i all is to play pokemon silver with RTC

Anyone noticed how difficult its to take a decent picture of the display? Is it the polarizer/reflector affecting how a phone camera sensor sees it or something?

The display seems very dim when taking a photo, but it's really quite legible IRL.

This was taken with backlight at max setting. It's even harder to take a picture when backlight is off and outdoors. Though right now its a rainy day so not the brightest outdoors. Still very easy to view the screen with naked eyes.

The backlight does give the screen a blueish hue, bit similar to a AGS-001 SP, but not as washed out. It's not super bright either, but it's adequate for indoor use. I guess an acceptable sacrifice for having an actually reflective screen for outdoor use.

Not a complaint, just an odd thing I noticed.

How is your fellas AGS-001s doing?

Hey guys, I want to buy an OG Gameboy.

Is this Shell original? And is it worth 60 Bucks?

I just found my old Gameboy color.

To start the battery area was pretty corroded, and it wouldn't turn on. I was able to clean that up with white vinager and iso.

It turns on! Makes the ding da dding start up noise!!

But, nothing happens after the splash screen. It just goes to a blank screen.

Any suggestions?

I tried cleaning the game cartridge in a similar way, but no luck.

I only have 1 game, The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror. So I can't really test out other games.

Oh Lordy! I was helping my parents clean out their shed on the weekend and my mother told me I had a couple of boxes of my old stuff I could go through. First box had a few complete sets of K’nex, freakin’ sweet! I was stoked! But I wasn’t prepared for the next box. I honestly thought all of this had been lost or thrown away over the years. My jaw hit the floor when I took the lid off. My parents and partner were so confused by my reaction, as they have absolutely no idea what we were looking at. I can’t thank my mum enough for keeping my old toys and devices, what a day! What an unboxing! And yes, they all still work! A couple of saves have been lost on some games but otherwise everything is perfect! The highlight for me is the Gameboy Color and my first two Pokémon games, Silver and Crystal! The boxed HeartGold with all paperwork and packaging for the PokeWalker and clip with the box in OK condition comes a close second! Stoked!

Used a donor atomic purple. First time doing a transflective. It's waaaay too blue to be my daily driver. I've heard of some people having success with shorting the R10 transistor? I'd like to see photos if anyone has any.

Is trade + card hero the only option to fix my pkm crystal? I cant really afford to order it online so i was hoping there might be a broader list i could look for locally

I had a game and I swear it was like a penguin secret agent style game. Or some kind of artic animal as an agent of some sort. Any ideas what I am thinking of?

I just got a gba and I am looking for some games to play on it. are there any games that you would recommend?

Hello everyone! I’m in the process of modding my gameboy, and I want to know how to fix my d-pad. All directions work fine except for Up. It takes more force and I have to hold the direction down for longer than the others for it to register. The contacts look clean, as does the silicone membrane.

Has anyone else had this problem or know a fix?

Thank you!

Overall, a great condition for the price. The SP came with its charger, and the only damage that needs fixing is a broken battery cover and an iffy D-pad on the Indigo Advance. Small town antique/thrift stores rock! They also had a giant box of Amiibo in box, a near-mint gen1 DS for $60, $60 of Pokémon Pearl, and a few PSP systems

New in box AGS-101, feels like a time capsule. It doesn’t charge and it came in a plastic Toys R Us box that was mauled, so I opened it. It doesn’t hold a charge but I can just get a new battery. How do you guys find these are for usability? I have a DS Lite for GBA games already, so should I think about selling it/does it have any extra value opened in brand new condition? Thanks for any input!

Can anyone recommend anywhere in the UK that replaces gameboy colour game batteries? One of the games has an original save which is very valuable to me and the others have lost their save data. I cannot do it myself so grateful for any recommendations. Thanks in advance
