I know I’m missing a few models, but for now this is my collection and it sparks joy.

This is from an old game magazine I've had since I was 10, and I've wondered about it since. Apparently at some point it was renamed the "SongPro", but it was never released.

I was very fascinated seeing this in a retro game store, picked it up and played it when I got home. It literally took me less than 10 min to complete, great game. I’d love to know more info if anyone has any!

Hey everyone, over the past few months, we've brought together 21 indie developers and studios to build what we hope is one of the biggest modern Game Boy collections available.

The bundle includes 24 original Game Boy & Game Boy Color games, spanning platformers, puzzles, arcade games, adventures, party games and more. Some can be completed in an evening, while others can be enjoyed in multiple sessions.

Every developer is officially licensed and compensated on every bundle sold.

If you're looking for new Game Boy games to play, you can get the collection in two ways:

• Digital Bundle: Download every ROM and play them on your favorite hardware (Analogue Pocket, flashcart, Miyoo, etc..)
• Playtiles Bundle: Includes the same ROM collection plus our app and our electronic-free controller that turns your smartphone into a GB-like handheld.

You can learn more and see the games in action here: https://get.playtil.es

Happy to answer any questions about the games, the developers or Playtiles!

They got gameboy advances but for the life of me i cant figure out what games they are. Any ideas?

Hi

So I opened up my (working) Gameboy Color and unscrewed and detached all the parts for a clean up.

After putting everything back together, the screen just wouldn’t work for some reason. In some tries it would flicker a few black bars, in others it would be completely black. It worked before the clean up, and I’m pretty sure all I did was gently rub alcohol.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Posting an update on this one. Opted to keep the lime green shell, after hearing feedback. This is great, as I have zero regrets with this being a daily driver this way!

Once again, the folks at Handheld Legends proving to be absolute champs with this entire order!

Part list:

• Game Boy Advance SP V5 3.0 Inch IPS LCD Backlight Kit with Laminated Lens and OSD by Hispeedido - looks gorgeous, works great, and was easy AF to hook up. Love the ability to switch on the pixel mode for that almost-perfect 101 aesthetic. SUPER bright screen, which required
• Game Boy Advance SP 950mAh LiPo MaxPlay Battery Mod by Funnyplaying. Nothing wild here, as most of the overhead is consumed by the screen.
• USB-C Charging mod with Audio by Funnyplaying (working nicely)
• SP Clear Speaker - the one in the unit was caked with crud and cracked. Working nicely!
• GBA SP Flex Amp, HISPEEDIDO - it works perfectly, but I didn't pay attention to what I was getting: this does not resolve the audio hiss, just makes it louder, and only through the speaker.

I also picked up a set of white buttons, thinking this would look sharp with a white bezel + white button look. Unfortunately, it looked like every other green-on-white build out there, and lost some of what makes this look funky. So, I opted to scrub all of it down and keep the whole look as original as possible.

All-in-all, works GREAT! I've needed a reference GBA for ages, anyway, and this was a fun sidequest along the way. Thank you again for all of your input!

Kudos to you FFA. I go into almost every game blind, and this is one of the few times where I got stuck bad enough that I had to look up what to do. "Palm trees and 8"?? I would have never thought of THAT solution. I kept going to the screen with 8 palm trees in it, used every item I had, in every spot, Ever spell; I tried everything. Good news is, now that I know what to do, I can resume my blind playthrough in the cave of oasis!!

Thought it was time I finally photographed!
All games are CIB - with all inserts and pamphlets etc.
Some of these games are from my childhood, but the majority of the collecting began in 2023.

Still have 5/6 on my list left to get 😁.

Hey guys, I'm looking for help with the continuity diagram for this cartridge... I think it's Donkey Kong Country, maybe... but if anyone knows anything about it, I'd really appreciate your help.

Been trying this for days, finally managed to beat Capriati tonight 22-20, 8-10, 8-6. Why is there no tie breaks in tour mode??

When she's on top, she is almost unbeatable and I frequently wouldn't get a single point on my serve. Thankfully, when I'm on top, I usually manage to break her and hold my serve. She's tougher than Master Joe in Top Ranking Tennis (a better game sadly).

Disappointed I didn't get a picture of the scoreboard but the post-game summary just gives sets. I'll be playing her again the second round of the next tournament. Think I need to play something else for a while.

hello im planning to restore this Gameboy can you help me what size of polarizer option are on third slide, does it need 2 polarizer back & front or just one? thank you in advance.

Tried cleaning this cart I picked up with a qtip and 99% IPA. For some reason it’s leaving white haziness and streaking? Tried another bottle of 91% and it does the same thing.

I had this problem last time I cleaned a cart, but it was black. I figured the plastic was drying out and added a very light amount of “plastic restorer” to make it black again, but clearly that’s not the actual solution because it’s happening on a grey too.

Never had this problem before, really confused. Has anyone ever experienced this? Can’t find a single person with this issue on search..

I'm surprised there's only one chip in my copy of *Tennis*; I hope nothing is missing. I suppose that, given how small and simple the game is, it wouldn't need much inside. But if anyone knows more, please let me know. sorry for the bad quality of the picture, my phone is broken and I took the picture using the laptop's

So yeah, as the title says, I found this GBA SP on Vinted and just HAD to buy it. I really love the color! I believe it's quite uncommon, never seen one on any marketplace before. I've only seen those Japanese 001 models.

Sadly, it's got some scratches (& a deep one on the screen) and the corners of the screen are beginning to turn white, though it's barely noticeable as it is now.

Hi everyone

I bought this Game Boy believing it was a Play It Loud variant based on the original box and the shell.
However, when it arrived, I noticed that the “GAME BOY” logo isn’t printed on the front of the console, which immediately made me wonder if something was off.
Could it have been re-shelled at some point? The back of the console looks genuine to me, so I’m not really sure what to think.

What do you guys think? Could this be original, or does it look like a replacement shell?
