hi guys,
i like to play old console games with emulator on my pc with gamepad.
and recently i got idea of having one handheld on which i could play popular gba games, and since im new to that i did a little research.
so i googled this open source handhelds and as far as i understood they emulate.
which is fine if they emulate good
but then i decided i want to have original gba (not sp)
main reason i want original is it is powered by AA batteries.
users say that with 2 energizer rechargeables gba can run up to 14 hours, and then when battery depletes, you just put 2 fresh ones.
portability 100%
plus system like that can live forever if you dont broke it, unlike systems whose built in battery will lose charge after some time.
and i decided to go for original gba and mod its screen into backlight one, then i encountered problem.
flashcart
there are 2 good flashcarts: ez flash IV and m3 perfect. (m3 is better because it has RTC)
both are as rare as fair politician and expensive as bottle of old brandy
and thats where gba story ends, shame it would be a perfect handheld.
next i found GamePark Holding's GP2X, a handheld powered by AA's althogh i am not sure can it run gba games without problems?
GP2X is also rare since it is not produced since 2008. i found one on ebay but it was too expensive.
so guys any suggestion about good handheld that can run gba games and it is powered by AA or AAA batteries?
