I keep toying with the idea of buying an Everdrive GB but I always put it off in the hopes the Krikkz will show us more of the GBA cart he's working on...

To keep me going just now I decided to buy some Falcon Densetsu (Japanese title for F-Zero GP Legend) E-Reader cards from Japan. Got 10 packs on the way. The first E-Reader cards I've bought in about 10 years!

I fully intend to buy an Everdrive GBA if/when he finishes it. But in the meantime I'm having fun with this one.

So far everything I've tried from the latest No Intro set works fine.

I haven't tried any rom hacks or unlicensed games and I don't have any to test. But if if you send me a PM with info on specific titles you're curious about, I'm happy to test them for you.

I'm only curious about a couple. I've sent you a PM if you've the time. Thanks. :)

Anyway, back on topic:

I got 3 new face plates for my GBM today. One looks like a DMG, one looks like the Famicom face plate and the other looks like a NES controller. I'm pretty sure they're home made (3D printed maybe?) but they looked nice in the photo.

An AGS-101 Game Boy Advance SP and all of the Fire Emblem GBA games.

Fire Emblem Awakening is better :P

For me, Trip World (J) from another forum I'm on, and it was just $75+Mario Kart GBA (cart only) for it. Excellent sticker, but usual Japanese discoloration from the plastic. I'll never be ceased to amazed how much old 8/16bit games from there end up discolored (yellowed, browned, greened even) because of just nicotine and other funk. I can't complain, it's not a prolific game and even ones discolored with nice stickers don't seem to lose value because of the scarcity.

It's a short game but very fun and the attention to detail with both the audio and visual is rare on that level with the old GB. It kind of reminded me playing dinky 1989/90 stuff in the era and then being mind blown with Gargoyle's Quest attention to detail, and then again when Super Mario Land 2 popped up using the Super Mario World big mario sprite which was cool. It's nice when you see someone put that extra attention to detail in as much as possible in detail and shading to where it's a bonus and doesn't hold the game back obscuring enemies or you alike.

If anyone is curious I keep my inventory of goodies in my signature here. I'm US based but I do have a nice small selection of EU and JP gems for all 3 versions of Gameboy over time. Just wish I still still EU Konami GB Collection 1, 2 and 4. :(

My last two were damn good deals. $75 for trip world on a game forum I'm on and a complete copy of f-zero climax for $41 after my eBay bucks discount which is a steal.
