Good evening. Could someone tell me the default settings for the IPS V4 screen? Thank you.

Have just bought one of these from tiktok with 500 games pre installed. Does anyone have one and if so does it have any Pokemon games on it? Got it for my partner for Xmas so it’s sat wrapped under a tree but I’m dying to know lol

Luckily I collected these way before the crazy price change.

I cant really focus any better on my phone. But the problem is this:

I ordered the V5 IPS kit from Hispeedido, everything went smoothly while installing the screen and shell. Except at the end, while putting the last screws in the back part, three of them completely stripped while screwing/threading them in. I was very careful because I know the screw posts dont come threaded. They just disintegrated with no force. I need to reopen the shell to install the little metal square for the battery door, but now I cant without destroying the shell. I tried the rubber band method, but the screws are too small and the screwdriver just pierces the rubber band. I have no idea what to do.

Does anyone have any experience with stripped screws on the backside of a GBA SP? Thanks in advance.

Ordered these from Walmart (reseller) back in November for a Christmas gift and I’m now questioning if this price point is reasonable or not…I’ve already packed it up and didn’t test anything before doing so, and now that Christmas is right around the corner I’m nervous. I know it might not be possible to fully glean legitimacy from the product’s listing, but at least based off of prices, does this seem legit?

EDIT: Photos of actual games in comments!

Saw a user yesterday share their first battery swap and it inspired me to share this comparison. On the right is a battery swap I had done at my local retro game store. On the left is me cleaning up one of those similarly done swaps.

It's not perfect by any means but wanted to show how adding fresh solder and flux into the mix can make a huge difference. Ideally, you'd use desoldering wick to remove the old solder completely. Using IPA to clean off the space when you're done is also good practice.

I should mention I don't solder very often. I consider myself a novice and use cheap tools I got off Amazon.

Let’s talk about CHARMS for a second. Do you like them? Do they get in the way? Acrylic or enamel? Have you made your own by adding a hook to a pin you already have?

Is there an Etsy store you prefer?

This is my 5th overall gen 3 shiny but this one was rng manip. Had a dead battery in saphire so I decided to try it out once and prob never again cuz it was WAAYYY to easy for me .. but I will be using rng manip to find my shiny starter if I find another full odd shiny zizgzagoon on pokemon emerald ..

Hi, If I replace the battery of any of my gba pokemon games will I lose my saved files?

Is necessary to change it to play it?

I have read that in emerald version you can still play but i dont know how it works in RedFire or Ruby versions.

Thanks in advance.

I went to a local game store and was fortunate enough to find these gems. I've never played Shaman King before but I'm so excited to start it! Bought Mario Party to play with the wife since it has single cart games apparently? What's your favorite out of this lot?

I’m looking to re-cap a unit but i’m not sure which exact capacitors to use. I know it needs 4 by the looks of it, but i cannot find a source for which voltage and uf the OEM ones are.

Additionally i’m looking to know for the Game boy light, but i cant find a source for which types are on that either.

What the title says I’ve recently been gifted my grandfathers original Gameboy but he no longer has the games for it I’m familiar with using game cards/ cartridges to add Roms and play games but I can only find once’s for the gba is there anything similar for the Gameboy Classic???? Any help would be much appreciated :)

How do you get back to main menu while playing a game to choose another game without resetting it

Is there a relatively easy way to create a multi-ROM/cart without coding it from scratch? I'm just trying to make a ROM of a menu to select from a few other ROMs.

Just noticed that the multiplayer label on Bart vs the Juggernauts is incorrect on the European carts showing two players. The US cart shows one player correctly. Now i wonder how many Gameboy games have incorrect multiplayer labels.

My uncle gave me and my mother $500 dollars to split. I spent my half on this. They only had gray, but it's still cool.

Anyone had luck? Usually the A, B and Start/Select are okay, but the dpads are often really bad. I want to use a white set of buttons, but I’m wondering if anyone knows a decent quality source on Aliexpress or other places for aftermarket buttons that feel good enough to play. Not expecting OEM level as i doubt it exists, but close to it anyway

Just letting everyone know that the Chromatic literally sold out over night. Only the Gamestop Edition is still for sale. I find it strange that all of a sudden all of the other colors sell out at the same time on their site. I wonder if there have been alot more issues with the Chromatic that they stopped selling it. I don't believe they will sell a regular editon of the Chromatic. From what has been said they were only going to sell one batch and that's it. It's kinda stupid especially when they are suppose to come out with a battery pack and several games. Does this mean the games will be limited as well? It just doesn't make any sense. But I know there are several issues with the Chromatic ranging between Power Button breaking or falling off, Menu button not working, the battery cover not lined up properly or flush with the rest of the back. Then there is the Tetris game already having scratches or marks. So yes I believe they stopped selling it due to too many issues with it. Luckily mine is fine so far. Now I feel like I have to order the games I want from them otherwise they will sell out... The way the Chromatic just switches to sold out all at once is very strange.

I've been seeing a lot of counterfeits games floating around. People are going around trying to sell them off as real carts, I'm not saying anyone on here is purposely, or accusing anybody, BUT it just happens online all the time! The only way you can really protect yourself, is if you get a cart you either request they open it up , and show you before they send it, or you open up yourself and find out and if it's a fake send it back and get your money back OR BOTH whatever get yourself a couple of these either a screwdriver that comes with both or the bits for your screwdriver. These are the large and small bits you will need. Or you can just buy the whole screwdriver with a double ended bit on it save yourself a lot of money and fraud.

Just curious, are there any Christmas or winter themed video games? Do you have any favorites you recommend?

Hey there - looking to get some extra cash and sell my old Pokémon games. Any idea what the going rate is on these? No cases, clock batteries prob dead, but saves work fine and they seem to play with no issue. Also would be interested in selling the gameboy and DS

Also, is something like eBay the best place to list them?
