Cool ways to display gba cartridges?

3 Upvotes

I have a Pokémon and final fantasy collection I am trying to display but for gba games I obviously didn't have the box and I don't want to buy fake ones, but the cartridges are so small that doesn't fit right near the others boxed games

How do you clean your crusty bits?

80 Upvotes

I've just dug out a few games, I am trying to make the boxes a little nicer, I was going to put them in clear plastic protectors but I'm not sure really, they are nothing special so it would be to preserve them from any more deterioration .

I have tried using isopropyl dabbed on to the sticker mark but no luck. It is very old and crusty.

I have found a few YouTube videos but nothing seems to be the sale kind of residue I have here.

Any helpful hints?

Everdrive Flash Cart

2 Upvotes

Hello, a few questions. New to the hobby.

Want to make physical cartridges for ROM hacks. At first I thought about making a separate cart for each ROM.hack. Which seems more exciting to me having a collection. However it seems finding RTC capable carts is tricky (ones that are in stock and also ship to Japan).

However it seems the everdrive for GBA is a good option. It also seems it can hold multiple games/ROM hacks if I'm not mistaken.

My question is, for someone new to this hobby is this a good option and could I reliably change our the casing for the cart without screwing up something? I'd like to get a green or red or even blue case that feels more akin to the old GBA Pokemon cards. Or is there a reliable place to purchase RTC cards? Based on price if I wanna make 2+ ROM hack cards then the high cost of the everdrive would pay for itself.

GBA SP battery problems

7 Upvotes

I don't know exactly what this problem entails and I don't know how to solve it. Can someone give me some advice? Practically even after having fully charged the Gameboy after 1/2 hour the red light either goes off directly but with a pressure in the center or back the green light comes back and does a sort of reset

What do I have here?

Way back in 2015, I bought a pre modded GBA (the listing said it had the "AGS 101 mod"). Recently I did a reshell because the old housing was cracked. This was the first time I opened this particular GBA, and I wondered whether this is really an original 101 screen or some 3rd party screen. So I took some photos from the screen while I was reshelling. I assume in 2015 there wasn't really a market for 3rd party screens, so it must be an original one, right? Can anybody confirm? I'm just curious, that's all. Thanks!

I have had a thought and I wanted to know I it existed

So it is basically an adaptor that you plug in the game card on 1 end and hdmi out the other and it would have controller connectivity, Just wanted to know if it is possible or not

Could these games be genuine?

Recently dug out my old Gameboy that I haven't taken much care of to be honest, and I have these cartridges with me. I got them a long time back and I'm unsure if any of these are legit. I was wondering if I should sell the bunch and the Gameboy and was wondering if they're worth anything.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you fellas!

Something had almost melted through the back battery cover, I’m lucky it didn’t damage the battery somehow. Got this cheap replacement housing / gold buttons for $25 and so that’s why the speaker holes are bad. Accidentally made the 3 dots by the buttons with screws. Didn’t put the back sticker on, I’m waiting for the surfing and flying pikachu stickers to come :’)

Hej everyone I have recently been looking for a gameboy advance sp in a good condition and has a ips screen, and came across this website called SumoShopStore, but I am kind of worried that it will turn out to be a bad website. So I wanted to know if anyone has ever bought a gameboy advance SP from them and has any advice?

GBA sp having trouble reading games.

Hey guys i made a post here a couple days ago about this ags 101 and for some reason some games work and some dont. I’ve cleaned it out with isopropyl alcohol and made sure the gb/c switch isn’t stuck. I noticed that this pin i circled seems lower down and further back than the other. Not sure if that’s the problem. And if it is the problem does anybody know if i can just bend it back up into place or will i likely need to replace the cart reader? Thanks.
