Hello everyone, I recently bought myself a gba sp so I could play the old Pokémon games but wanted to upgrade the charger to c port and got too cocky. I spilt solder onto the cpu pins and tried cleaning it but ended up ripping some pins off. Can anyone help me?

Taking a crack at doing some custom paint jobs on original GBA shells. Love the feel of original better than aftermarket but love a custom look at the same time.

Really just want to see if people like this, considering doing more in the future.

ich habe so ungefähr vor 9 jahren feuerrot auf mein nachtisch gelegt und da stand wegen einer freundin eine milch packung und irgendwie ist die ausgelaufen und das spiel lag in milch. ich habe dann irgendwann vor 1 jahr das spiel zufällig wieder gefunden und es wurde vom gba nicht erkannt. ich habe dann gegooglet was man machen kann und habe es mit alkohol gereinigt aber es hat nicht gebracht. gibt es eine möglichkeit das spiel zuretten?

das super mario bros 3 spiel ist vor einem halben jahr einfach so plötzlich kaputt gegangen und wenn man es starten möchte steht da nur save data corrupted. kann man auch da irgendwas tun oder hab ich pech gehabt?

I'm almost certain they all are. Maybe the only exception is Pokemon Sapphire which I've had since I was a little kid
If more photos are needed, let me know.

Don’t know if it’s all the games she has but I’m not gonna press her if there’s more I don’t know about. I’m looking to get a new battery online I just don’t have enough money at the moment. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I admit, i have no experience with the GBA. I grew up with the DS Consoles, but i saw this and gor interested.

Is this true? Is it really IPS with the changable brightness? 120 dollars feels really cheap, but it may just be my experience with the 3DS Market influencing that.

Ive also learned that the MM Shell is not official, but would it match the same color as the 3DS Majora's Mask Shell?

Anyone know how I can get one of these. Purchased the screen and shell from funnyplaying but I think I need this to hold it in place.

I found these 2 links but I'm hoping to get a clear once since I can get them printed in black or white (not ideal in a clear case reshell)

Waiting on my IPS screen to arrive but hey, not too bad.

Seems Appropriate

So when I first got my gameboy advance in 2005, the first game I got was GT transformation which I got from my aunt (rip). And I remember thinking this is one of the best games ever when I was just turning 5.

Now recently I’ve been planning go through the legacy of Goku games cause I only really played Buu’s fury for a lil bit. I remember LOG 2 being considered the best in the series and the first one was trash. But I was surprised to see that GT transformation got poor reviews and sold poorly. I wanted to ask you guys who may have been older at the time or played all the games, why didn’t you enjoy GT transformation? Was it because it was a strong shift in the formula or something else? And there was supposedly suppose to be a sequel which never got released which makes me sad.

And lastly, this is a very strong if, would it be possible to make a fan made sequel of this game?

I wanted a usb-c adapter I could leave on my lcd modded Game Boy Advance SP and didn't fancy risking the console itself with my dodgy soldering skills. Remembered that.the wireless adapter was pretty secure and might fit the bill. An cheap eBay adapter, a few clips with some wire cutters and a bit of sugru later I had this monstrosity.

Works great and now I can keep my gba in my bag full time without needing to carry a separate charger. I even kept the original innards too but God knows if they're still working.

Got my hands on a GBA SP tonight. I traded my PS portal for it and it’s the same color as the one my dad got me when I was a kid

Decided to give my beaten up sp a reshell and ips screen,so much nicer looking at a vibrant screen,can't wait to use it now

Unsure if these are fake, any help would be appreciated thank you
