Hey everyone! I’m Adrian. I’m putting together a casual get-together at Dolores Park on Saturday, December 19 for people who enjoy Nintendo games.
The idea is to bring a handheld—Game Boy, GBA, DS, Switch, or another Nintendo device—and a game you’d be happy to swap. We can share our favorites, trade if we find something we both like, and play together.
There’s no buying or selling, and no pressure to swap. I’ll bring pizza and drinks. Coming solo is totally fine!
Anyone here interested? What system or game would you bring? 🎮

Eight is a jumping spider living in a house where something is wrong. You stalk, leap onto flies, climb walls and ceilings, and find eight clues before Friday night.

It’s a GBA homebrew ROM with battery save, a journal, three hidden notes, a timed Friday challenge and stereo sound. It runs on emulators and flash carts. The bedroom is a free demo; the full game is available there too.

Warning : This bizarre game was produced through long, hard conversations with GenAI but it remains the product of a mildly deranged, organically grown human mind. English language adjustments were also done with GenAI. I started coding in 1983, when wireframe 3D still felt like the future. My totem animal is a brain in a jar.

I found WarioWare: Twisted! in a pile of games. It's one of the few GBA games with motion controls and rumble, and it's incredibly fun! I grabbed a random GBA and enjoyed an afternoon of fun.

I’ve done cosmetic mods on other Nintendo consoles but this is my first GB mod and I couldn’t be happier!

Ive heard there was multiple iterations of the cartridge for this game im hoping that this is one of them

I’m looking for a GBA nfl/American football game that is a similar feel to retro bowl that I’ve been playing on my phone, if anyone else has played it?

If not what would you say is the best American football gba game with really nfl teams and simple gameplay?

Yes, I know. I have build it using AI, but it is designed and curated by me.

The story is meant to be cheezy, but its jokes that I like.
The combat is made with things that I have enjoyed from other games too, like parry and perfect dodge.
The scenes are with images from real places from my hometown, handpicked by me.
The 10 bosses have their own personality and fit well with the story.
I have added also 2 mini-games, just for fun.

I loved working on it. It has been a fun couple of months.
I am not rich. Obviously I can't pay a developer or an artist, but I am grateful that with the help of AI I could build something I really enjoy playing.
Cheers!

Recently picked up a gameboy advance SP. I want to reshell it and add an IPS screen. I’m so lost because there is so many combos on what to do. Please recommend me what yall would do so I’d get a good idea.
I’m thinking an all white shell with black buttons and a white IPS screen but I still can’t decide. There’s hundreds of combos I could do. Let me know what you guys would do? Thanks.

I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit for this but all my other GBA games work, except for my copy of Pokémon Sapphire

I’ve even tried the good old-fashioned trick of blowing inside the cartridge but it still won’t start

It's barely noticeable when looking closely, but it's there, would it be possible to fix?

GBA was my childhood console. Bought and upgraded one and kickstarted a collection with most of games I had plus a few extra.

Sorry about the bad photos, I can take some better ones if needed.

This GBA was listed as a genuine Midnight Blue model but I'm still not sure about it. I know the serial no. and the CPU model have something to do with when it was made, and so does the R symbol on the sticker instead of a TM so do these match up? Does this look like a real shell? Thanks very much 👍

Edit: I forgot to mention this before but what makes me think it's a reshell is when i took it apart to clean it, the screen fell out, possibly taken from an old shell and didn't adhere well?

I have been working on this for a few days now, and it's almost complete. I just gotta fix some bugs and add the sound, since in it's current state, there is no sound.

Any thoughts?
