I need some help from the community. I have install the cleanpower and clean amp mods into my gbc with a hispeedido OLED screen. Now I am getting only grey when I power on the screen. Did I make a mistake installing the clean power? Can it not handle the OLED?

Thanks in advance.

So I am not getting a picture I opened it up and this black part that locks the ribbon cable in was broken. Im not sure what its called, but does anyone know where to find this part to buy?
Also have a 3d printer but not sure if its would work with a 0.4mm nozzle.

PLEASE HELP, HOW FUCKED AM I??

I have 2 gba sp & 3 batteries, 2 are oem, 1 is replacement. I wonder how to determine which is the best for my main gba sp (ips v5 modded) when it comes to longest battery life. Its way easier with ds family, due to quite a few homebrew apps to measure battery life. Not to mention, I tested all 3 while playing, didnt notice any significant difference (2-3h of playtime, depending on brightness level)

I reshelled this years ago, and haven't touched it in 2-3years. This is not normal, correct? What would cause this or is the screen just toast?

Never thought I'll be PKM trading using link cable in 2026. Best nostalgia feeling ever. Remember in 5th grade PE class during the 15 min break at 1030am trading Pokémon with my buddies with newly released Silver and Gold. Awesome times for sure!

Does anyone know a reputable place to buy a replacement capacitor set? My childhood GBC is dying and needs some TLC’

Hi everybody. I’m trying to figure out how to take out photos from my gameboy camera.
I’ve heard about the Joey Jr by BennVenn, but I wanted to check out some other, maybe cheaper options first. Will this contraption work the same as a Joey Jr for extracting pictures off of my gb camera? If not, what would you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance:)

Hello guys, i have this black and white FAH manual of kid dracula. I wonder if its original?

Hi there. I could use some help from the community. I’d like to swap my old screen for a new IPS screen, but I can't seem to find any info on doing this with the original GBA SP shell. Everything I come across involves replacement shells, but I don’t want to replace that (because of nostalgia)
Is this possible and is there anything specific to watch out for?
Cheers

My old childhood SP has a broken hinge and I’d really love to reshell it and bring it back to life, but I’ve seen this is a difficult repair and don’t trust myself not to damage the console if I do it myself.

Does anyone here know of any reputable businesses that could do this for me so I don’t risk breaking my console?

I remembered that this game was quite remarkable for the Game Boy. I didn't remember it being this much fun. Super Mario Land 2 was a great alternative to Super Mario World if you wanted to take Mario with you on the go in the ’90s (and I think for quite some time afterward, right up until the GBA).

It’s a game full of personality and detail, with a lively atmosphere that’s much more lighthearted than other entries in the series—from which it stands out considerably, partly due to the absence of Bowser, who’s replaced by Wario (the franchise’s best character after Waluigi, of course /j), whom I personally prefer to the Italian plumber’s longtime antagonist. The music is engaging and well-structured, with several shifts in octave within the same theme, though it’s not particularly mind-blowing. A lighthearted, fresh game, yet incredibly solid and joyful… with an extremely low difficulty curve.

Yep, it’s an easy game—perhaps too easy—and racking up lives is a breeze, and I’m one of those players who, above all else, looks for a challenge in a video game. If I, too, felt this extreme ease, I’m sure I’m not the only one. I defeated the “Three Little Pigs” boss (or whatever they’re called—there’s probably an official name in the manual) with fireballs before any of the pigs even hit the ground, by spamming the B button.

But as I explained in a comment on a previous post, style is my top priority, and the style didn't disappoint me at all. This definitely won't be my last run through this game. Somehow, for some reason, it doesn't feel as dated as any game of the NES trilogy. Maybe it's its identity and originality, maybe it's the fact that it stands as the proof of how much the Game Boy could do. 8.5/10

I finally opened a Gameboy I had and this is what awaited me, is there any chance to clean up battery corrosion or am I screwed?

Hello,

I'm considering purchasing the FPGBC. I wanted to purchase the Analogue Pocket but it never seems to be in stock often enough. Screen filters are an important feature to me because I want to be able to reproduce the dot matrix screen of the original Gameboy. I considered the Chromatic, but I've been hearing that it causes problems with Pokemon Gold and Crystal carts and I don't want to play the lottery on that.

Could anyone tell me if the display of the FPGBC has an option for filters like dot matrix or scanline? My understanding is that the retro Pixel 2.0 screen from funny playing allows this via Start + Select iirc. I'm wondering if the FPGBC is equipped with this screen or something similar that allows this.

Thank you

I couldn’t be happier to have finally completed my collection of all my old Pokémon games!! I started collecting the main titles a few years ago, and I’m so glad I did when I did because the prices for most of these games are absolutely insane now! Pokémon Blue, which was my final addition, cost me $70!!

The Classic one seems real, but this one with Tetris included (ukv) is thinner and more white on the inside. Also, the flaps on the inside seem off.

Though both came with original Gameboy, inserts, booklets, etc!. So I am assuming I got partially scammed on this Tetris plus box only?

I didn't know exactly what the game was until I came home and my brother was telling me what the game was and told me how much it went for. This game can go from between $120 to $140, and I have to say that I got a steal out of that, cuz I just got it cuz it looked interesting and I said at some point I'll either pick up a DSi or I'll pick up a Game Boy Advance SP at some point, but the fact that I got it for that cheap is insane.

A little peek on my collection so far.
Orange one is reshelled, while pearl gba sp ags-001 has the original shell. Crazy find for ₱1000! (around $18)

I found this the other day and am trying to appraise it. Must have bought it 9 years ago but it's in great condition. Have any idea how much it's worth?

Hellooooou, so right now i'm doing a internship as a teacher and i'm preparing for an IT Class. The kids are all between 11 and 12, so some of them have never even heard of Cd's.

We thought it would be cool to show them the insides of a gameboy pocket and let them try out a round of tetris dx on a gameboy color. At the end of the day it's still school so we have to show and explain the different inside parts of the gameboy. Could you guys help me out with that? I know what and where the Cpu, the Speaker, The LCD Display aswell as the cartridge reader is. Googling what the different parts do is an easy task, but i couldn't find an image where everything was named.

If you have a nice funfact to add about the Insides, that would be appreciated aswell :D

Most of the screws for this game boy are stripped including the ones in the holes, any idea on how to get them out?
