I know this is a dumb question but I just got a grape GBC on eBay and the LED is only red. Im only confused because in other places I heard its suppose to be green when at full battery and red at low.

mother 3 for example code or number is 2377. how would i find this code for other games like pokemon emerald for example. if im asking this all wrong my apologies. i have a ez flash cart and mother 3 is under 2377.cht for the cheats just curious what the number is associated with each game and how to find it for others thank you!

I dont understand how the menu based combat works,can anybody direct me to a guide about how to fight in the gbc version?

There is lots of information about putting an AGS-101 into the original GBA, but very little information about using the AGS-001.

Using an adapter ribbon, I fit a 001 screen into my GBA, but the screen is incredibly dim compared to a 001 installed in an actual SP. Anyone know how to solve this without using a dimmer switch?

Hi, I'm new to retro gaming. I've found an old gameboy color that I've bought nearly 10 years ago. Sometimes it won't power on and the audio is pretty low. There are any chances I can make sure it won't broke down?

Another question, I have a few games for gb but the batteries are dead, so it won't save and I need to restart all over again. There is a tutorial on how to change them and which type should I use? I really don't know anything about this and I'm scared to fuck it up

Stopping by to share my current collection. What’s everyone playing this weekend?

A marketplace seller listed this emerald for $100 one town away from me and was immediately flooded with offers from presumably scalpers looking to snag the deal requesting he ship it and offering higher prices, etc. I was honest with him and kind and said I can’t pay the ridiculous prices but could drive over soon to pick it up for a little more than listing price to be fair. After a moment of going without hearing back I messaged back to ensure him I’m not looking to scalp and flip it on him and he agreed to meet! An honest guy that wasn’t in the know about how big these games have blown up through time and I told him all about the batteries being changed and signs to check if they are authentic or not etc and showed him his old save files on my gba brought along to test it out and I could tell he was happy to see his old game going to a good home. Thank you Max for being honest and we will enjoy and love the game restoring it to its former glory👏

I am playing Pokemon polished crystal ROM hack on a EZ flash omega. It has been 3 tries of starting a new game and corrupting the save after 1 to 2 hours of playtime. This is what I am doing :

- Starting a new game, saving with the in-game save. When I save, I always wait 5 seconds, then press L+R -> exit, to go back to EZ flash main menu. Then wait 5 seconds again before turning the gameboy off.

- This saves correctly for the first few saves. Then usually when I get to violet city, at some point when I turn back the console on, I only have a "New game" option, while I can see the .esv file there in the "SAVE" folder. So I guess the save file has been corrupted.

Some hypothesis on why the saving fails:

- I am not waiting long enough before turning off. It sounds strange as I am really waiting for 5 seconds. Someone knows if the 5-second rule applies to the in-game save only ? Or do you also have to wait 5 seconds after pushing L+R -> exit before turning the console off ?

- The ROM hack itself is somewhat corrupted or unstable. But i got it from the main Polished crystal page. Could it be that I somewhat patched the ROM hack the wrong way ?

- Some internal problem with my EZ flash hardware. But I play other games on it that save alright.

- Last hypothesis, could it be that if I save multiple times in a row using the in-game save before doing the L+R -> exit, it corrupts the save ? Maybe you have to do only one in-game save and then L+R -> exit to write the save correctly ?

Any help greatly appreciated. I really want to play this game and this is very frustrating.

A while back I saw a cool graphic online. It was kinda like a comic book, with each panel dedicated to each iteration of the Game Boy, and how a player grew up with each generation. The player is drawn within a GB screen and bezel, alongside characters that were popular or debuted on that console.

So for example, the first panel shows the OG, the player is a young kid and they share the frame with Mario and Tetris shapes. Then for the GB Pocket, the player is a bit older and Kirby and Link join the frame. For the GB Color, the player ages some more and a bunch of Pokémon are added, and so on.

It was awesome. I’ve recently put my GB collection out on display and the art I’m describing spoke to me and the memories I have of owning and growing up with each generation of the Game Boy. I’m trying to track it down to hopefully get it printed to go with the collection.

It may be a long shot but does anyone know where I can find this art, or maybe someone has it saved and can share? I had no luck trying to find it again sadly 😩

Where’s everyone getting coloured or themed regs? A quick google search comes up with pish all! Any chance I could get some links

to sell my copy of Pokémon Colosseum CIB and use the money to buy a gamecube, gameboy player attachment, and the gameboy player disk?

(my gamecube is broken, so i’ve been using my wii)

because i was thinking that if i ever want to play colosseum again, i can just use my homebrew wii, and with native control on nintendont i should still be able to move pokemon to and from my gen 3 cartridges using a GCN to GBA cable i have

I bought an epilogue gb operator to inject event pokemon items into my physical copies of fr/lg/r/s/e. A feature of the epilogue is that it allows you to backup saves as .sav files and that feature works fine on my fr/lg copies but when i try to backup the .sav files of any hoenn game it backs up an empty save with not even a save on it. I have tried this for all three r /s/e games and neither work. any help?

I’ve seen this listed on eBay. The GBC is a reshell, Gold & Yellow are fakes, all the boxes and manuals are also counterfeit. Literally the only thing that’s genuine in the listing is the Pinball cart. I really feel sorry for the people bidding on this.

I would like to see if anyone of can point me in the right direction to find really nice, but classic Game Boy Color. With dozens or more pre-installed games.

Has anyone here ever done a USB-C mod like this? It looks simple enough, except the plastic between the batteries in the battery compartment needs cutting to make it fit.

How much of the plastic needs removing? How do I remove it, and do I need to add a plastic sheet underneath for safety? I assume there will be a hole where the plastic is cut, directly to the internal workings of the GBC

I love the gba sp. I grew up with it and i still love the games until today. I can always buy emulation devices, but i find those never seem to focus on what i value:

• great battery life
• portability
• repairability
• usb-c that works on any charger

So now im thinking maybe i could just get a gba sp with an ags001 screen, upgrade the battery put in a usb-c mod. And then be set. Are these easily sourceable in the aftermarket? So like if the screen breaks again after a few years i can easily repair it?

Thanks!

Hi,

I've got a DMG gameboy that I don't play much since I only have a couple games. I've got Mario Land 2, Golf, Game Boy Camera, and Link's Awakening DX. I'm not a huge fan of Link's Awakening because I'm bad at it.

So, are there any reccomendations for good games I should get? Aside from Pokémon.

So just finished collecting the NES Double Dragon games and figured I’d share the whole gang finally
