This is a great game for sure. I think I played it mostly on a GBA SP, should check it out on the Super Game Boy as well!

Saw this Pokémon Pinball "Slim" mod on Reddit. Didn't realize that there was a desire to do this.

Also, is it possible to buy new battery covers for rumble games like this? I need one for my copy of Star Wars Racer.

Been playing through it again recently on SGB with an XE-1 Super Famicom joystick. I love the arcade cab background. The game plays well with a good stick, too. 😀

He should have left the screen clear and not put the sticker on. Way better design that way.
Probably just a hobby.

Yeah, of course. I think the thing that gets me about those sorts of custom jobs is that at some point they put so much effort in to it that I'm surprised they don't make their own parts or do something more unique than a few LEDs (though the new front plate is quite attractive, I'll admit).

yeah, reminds me of the cats on Assembler games forums
I thought that was all but a given what with the last pics? Also any word if there is a tilt sensor in there?

Dimensions kinda remind me of NGPC carts, lol.
Sucks for Micro users though.

Yeah I think I'll wait and see if a 2.0 gets slimmer lol. Looks like it'd make my micro quite uncomfortable.
Where can I get one?

Hey there, folks. After spending a long time looking for one, I recently found and bought (for a not-horrible price) a complete-in-box copy of Kaneko's Peetan. Here's a photo of it:
If you want to see more photos of is outer box, cartridge and instruction manual, or if you want to learn more about its gameplay, I published a blog post about it at http://www.thegaygamer.com/2016/06/special-delivery-kaneko-peetan-for-gameboy.html

I had a random desire to play Donkey Kong '94 last night. What a cracking game that still is. It led me down a path of buying a stack of Gameboy games off eBay!
I kinda really want a Gameboy Light console even though I have an AGS101 SP. Something about the aspect ratio of GB games on a GBA bothers me.

Game Boy Light isn't that great to me to be honest. Biverted backlight-modded DMG provides a way better picture.
No idea how good or bad the GB Light is, but agreed on the bivert DMG being a great mod. I have two and they're a treat to use, even better than the smallish pillarboxed image of GB games on backlit-modded GBAs.
One has "neutral" colors which has a subtle bluish-purple hue like this... and the second I have is a green one that's more intense than conveyed by the pic below but I still love it.

The Super FX chip thread got me thinking, how good was the GBA at polygons? I recall there were some really impressive tech demos for the GBA, but what had the best 3D graphics, released or otherwise?

Shit man, hopes things work out. It would kill a part of me to sell my gaming collection.
You know shit just got real when we start selling our collection.
Hope everything is good.
Well, my payslip for this week has £140 deductions out of £220 pay. Yet another reason why I'm in the process of taking the child maintenance service/HMRC to court. It's sadly left me unable to pay for my car and unable to pay for food for my daughter when she's round (half of the week)
Wasn't expecting them to add another £80 onto deductions because I took a week off on holiday last week, but here we are. Been thoroughly assfucked by these twats for a year now. Legally I should only be paying £23 a week, but they've fucked everything up due to miscalculations of my earnings despite arguments and repeated evidence being thrown their way.
Up until April I was working 5 days 40 hours a week and due to the deductions, I was only effectively being paid for two days of it. So I was forced to reduce my hours down to two days a week - and the deductions didn't reduce accordingly, despite my best efforts to inform the asshats of my change in circumstances.
Edit: just noticed I got a letter in the post from HMRC. Uh, shit just got good. Let me edit that sale post.

This sucks to hear, but very happy it seems to end well!

Well, I finally managed to grab my holy grail of GBA collecting:
A Mother 3 GBA Micro!
I've wanted one for literally years now, but boxed versions always ran $500-600+. Thankfully though, I managed to snag one on eBay last night for ~$285 shipped. The box isn't perfect, but it still looks really good, so I'm pretty happy. Now let's just hope it gets here in one piece.

Can a Super Game Boy 2 be transplanted into a regular SGB shell with minimal modifications (I imagine just using a dremel to make a hole for the link port)? I want to get a SGB2 but I want everything to look aesthetically consistent. The blue transparent shell of the SGB2 wouldn't look right in a grey SNES with a grey GB cart in it to me.

I have wondered the same.

If it has no light/tilt sensor then I hope he's managed to fit it in a normal case. That bulbous one would seriously suck with a micro.
That said, I'll probably be waiting for a v2 or something regardless. Not going to pay 100$ unless it's a very significant upgrade from my perfectly functional ezfiv

These were posted on Reddit. It looks like the boards are identical except for the LEDs and the link port.

It appears the size has remained bulbous
I'm also considering waiting for version 2 even though it's love to drag and drop

Will this even fit into a Game Boy Player?It appears the size has remained bulbous

If a game like Drill Dozer fits into the GB Player, there's no reason the Everdrive should have a problem.

GBP load carts face up and I think they're curious if the bulbous case with interfere. If I remember correctly, Drill Dozer is a little taller, but just as flat as a regular cart.

Thanks. Seems easy enough to drill or dremel if I wanted to go that route.
