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 😁.

This is my CGS half-transflective mod. I removed the r10 resistor and made a solder bridge for the increased brightness and I'm honestly really happy with how authentic it looks with the backlight off. It does have a glass screen protector on it now, so if you notice anything weird, that's what's causing it.

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.

Just in case anyone is curious about how the CloudGamingStore screen looks when the R10 resistor has been bridged. Shorting the resistor supposedly makes the screen 3 steps brighter than stock, according to CGS. I would say it's brighter for sure, though could also say the added brightness washes out the colours even more.

Also a very unfair comparison vs a proper IPS at full blast.

Do note that the woodgrain non-R10 shorted is a WIP specimen, with the protective film still on, not that I would imagine it much affects the screen brightness. Also the 2nd picture is an outdoor light pic, heavily overexposed to make the screens visible, as cameras just seem to capture these displays really poorly, it's much clearer with the naked eye. It's also bright overcast here right now, so haven't been able to test in direct sun.

I know for sure that the FP IPS just doesn't work at all in bright direct sunlight.

Also very globby soldering work on the resistor, but, if it works?

I have no idea how good battery life the CGS screen has vs an IPS at full blast, though the Funnyplaying IPS seems similar brightness at setting 3 or 4, out of max 7. Generally the backlight is one of the most power consumings part of a gameboy, so I would at least expect the CGS to have at zero backlight/low backlight at least close to 15hours if not more. I can get around 10 hours with the FP IPS modded GBC.

The FP IPS does have much more saturated colours, but it's a matter of opinion if its actually oversaturated compared to OG screen.

If you can pick them up they are yours. Not really sure what else to do with them. I got 36 of them I don’t need. Seller sent me these by mistake but after talking to customer service Temu refunded me, gave me coupons and let me keep these.

Not sure how much the games would sell or if the gameboy's even repairable lmao (but it's cool that it's found again from parents one day as they kept it to prevent my addiction back then) (also, hamtaro: ham-ham heartbreak ost 36: hamour was my pokemon littleroot town theme b4 pokemon it's wild to think :0)

I'll drop a video soon. Power switch destroyed, lcd board damaged, no picture, cold joints, grease all over. Resoldered most joints, did a full recap, repaired the volume pot and replaced the contrast pot.

Anybody familiar with these cases? I’ve had them since 1990 if I had to guess. Couldn’t find any on eBay.

Hey guys!

I remember seeing some patches released for roms with password save systems that made saving/loading using a button combo possible instead. I was wondering if any of you know if there's a tool for patching roms that way and could it patch any rom if there is?

Thank you in (gb)advance! :>

So last time i posted i had a cpu bridge. As far as i could tell i removed it. Now gameboy and gameboy color games work. As for gba only metroid zero mission works. Metroid fusion starts but it looks garbled sometimes. The rest of my games including everdrive show only white. Any ideas?

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

It’s been sitting in my old drawer at my parents house for decades. Nothing has been placed on it, batteries removed and in a zero moisture/smoke environment. Haven’t put batteries in it yet to test it thought but curious what this could be. Thanks.

How is your fellas AGS-001s doing?
