^lemme know if you go in on that, i need like 5-10 of em!
My Gamboy Advance is pretty beat up and I'm looking to replace it with an SP. Does anyone know where I can find a cheap SP?

Is this site reliable? $18 (w/o shipping) for a 50 pack of GBA/DS game cases. Since some of you are talking about the custom GBA DS cases...
aw man, i hadn't noticed that the reproduction site i was eyeing for Mother 3 translated was sold out, with no indicator when it'll go up again. anyone know any other good options?
nobody? maybe i should dig up a reproduction thread...
If you are already looking for repros, why not get a flash cart and throw the latest/best fan translation on it?
From what I understand, the cases are decent, but can't close correctly if you have a GBA game inside without modifying the case a bit.

The answer you're looking for is "because people are crazy and have too much money"
It comes up pretty fast, but they go quickly as well. Also my reasoning (even though I only own a grand total of one repro, and thats Mother 3) is that I want an actual cartridge with the label.
Are there ways to be pretty sure if a GBA game is authentic and not a bootleg? The one that leads me to even ask this question is Ninja Five-O.

lol
New craigslist/eBay search term acquired. Gonna grab those mislabeled postings!
Mission start! Good luck.
lol but seriously, another tip when looking for GBASP or Micro: Check those bags with toys on the wall in thrift stores or even bags with random cables and adapters. I got my GBA SP graphite back-lit for 3 bucks that way. Was in a bag of random McDonalds toys and a calculator.
My GBA Light+ came in from Rose Colored Gaming today. I love it.
Is that an old afterburner (which was pretty amazing, but I busted mine up real good) or some other aftermarket frontlight?

Too lazy to take a pic with my camera, so phone shots will have to do.
It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it.
Could someone clue me in on the best Japan-only GB games? I have Picross 2, that's about all I know.
Yes I did. He only does them with the glass screen now. I will get my camera out tomorrow night and get some pics.That's sexy, did you get the glass screen as well?
Please break out your camera and show us a couple different games!
Thanks for the great post! I'm actually only buying for my original GB, so no GBC/GBA for me...so For Whom The Frog Bell Tolls seems to be my next game to get, but I worry that getting the Japanese cart will just leave me lost when there's a nice translation out there now. Is it impossible to play without understanding it?There are quite a few Japan-only GBA games worth looking into as well.
Let me know if you'd like me to post some GBA recommendations!
I'm 3/4 of the way through. Gamefaqs helped here and there but it is quite self explanatory. Very Link's Awakening-y. Amazing music too.Thanks for the great post!

I never thought I would ever be able to own Ninja Five-O once again, so I feel incredibly lucky as long as it doesn't end up being a bootleg.

Rose Colored deals with official AGS-101 backlights. It's the same part in the 2005 and newer GBA SPs.
Damn, those are pretty nice. A little on the expensive side, but you can't blame them. Do they have to gut a GBA SP for each of those?
Aren't those like, super rare? The better backlit ones, I mean.
Over headphones, there will be a noticeable low-frequency hum when playing any game on the GBL with the backlight on. It's my only qualm with Game Boy Lights (this will go away when you turn the backlight off, obviously).So I just blind bought beatmania GB 1 and 2 for 28 bucks..
I'm planning to play on my gb light... Is the sound gonna be ok? The gbc doesn't have better sound hardware does it?
I figured the best place to ask would be here... does anyone know the best place to get a flash cart for the micro? Or what the best cart even is?
I have at least an extra ten of the ones with GBA cart holders that I bought brand new from Nintendo years ago. Shipping would be killer though if I were to sell them to you =/
So what's the deal with all the lsdj kitts on eBay?
They all have weird knobs and lights and stuff. Are those mods required to mess around with lsdj, or are they just for better sound, etc?
The GBL will definitely have better sound than the GBC. GBC sound is pretty shitty actually unless you modify it. But there can be differences between even two Game Boys of the same model apparently. I know my yellow GBP has a bit louder sound and less hissing than my transparent GBP for example.
For the best possible sound though, the original classic Game Boy is pretty objectively the best sounding one.
Here are some sound tests of different Game Boys:

And here are some that measure the differences between different GB Classics:

I got that Mole Mania game off ebay for $5, it's really every bit as good as that guy said it was.Anyone made any good pick ups lately?
I haven't made any.
