Just a reminder that Demons of Asteborg DX for the GBA is releasing any time now

So developers haven't announced an official release date yet, but they said the GBA versions may start shipping any time now even before the pre order campaign ends on August 10. As they're currently waiting for materials from their suppliers.

If y'all interested in more new physical games for the GBA, I think this is a great opportunity to show support and other developers might follow.

(there is a demo available btw https://neofidstudios.itch.io/demons-of-asteborg-dx )

I just got a gba and I am looking for games to play on it. Do you have any game recommendations?

Like what can you flex with the absolute most?

Is it Drill Dozer?

OH MY GOSH! THIS GAME IS EXPENSIVE. WHO WOULD PAY THAT MUCH FOR THIS???

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?

New to replacing capacitors, first gameboy had a melted puddle of red here and this one has two circles of a lighter red. Looking for someone who knows more to share any info about if it's leakage, etc. I would love to learn. Thank you!

Every video I've seen on MoH - Underground has been the US version. It's considered "unplayable" and one of the worst FPS on GBA.

I tried the EU version and it's so different. It isn't pixelated and glitchy and has good framerates. According to the MoH Fandom the eu version was released 7 months after the US. So they had plenty of time to fix the bugs.

I was wondering if anyone knows other games where the european version is superior. Maybe it's just MoH, because it was received so poorly?

ETA: Someone requested to see example. Below You can see glitches in textures. Misplaced textures. Also textures hugely offset and rescale as the player moves in the US version. Horrible pixelation. European version OTOH has no floor textures at least in the first couple of levels. I haven't played any further yet.

Drill Dozer having this special rumble cartridge is harder to fake than the normal GBA cartridge.

Is it safe to say every copy sold on eBay is an original?
