I found it on Ebay but did not buy it, because the reseller did not describe it enough :cry: .

I'm talking about this one:

The "Dream Gear" Wireless Adapter.

I never heard of it and this is the first time I encountered one.

I can only imagine that it *might* be simliar to the Majesco Wireless link (which is awesome for playing Duke Nukem Advance btw ;) )

Anyone having any of these and knows something ?

I actually have one of those.. Should have it at home somewhere.

Don't really know what it did, but I do remember (still) having it.

Well the round one looks like the adapters that came with Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green for wireless connectivity (coz the wire was getting outdated)

But i have no idea what the box above it is

Found them!

The black one seems to have a link port for both in and out, one on each side. It also has a audio in port. The clear one one is indeed a radio. It has two buttons on the front; one for scan, and one to reset. It also has a power switch on the top, also with a audio in.

Of course I can't find my GBA SP adapter nor any AA batteries to test it right now, so I'll see if I can find anything tomorrow.

That's not link ports on the black one, that's charger ports (which double as a headphones jack when you have adapters like that.)
I have a similar contraption that does the same thing:

The only ones I could find using Google Images were only a charger port to headphone jack adapter while this one has another charger port for charging while using headphones.
Apparently those are pretty rare to find nowadays, glad I've got one (had two, but gave one to a friend since I had no use for two of them.) They're super high quality as well, but I can't for the life of me remember from where I managed to get two. Pretty sure one must have come from the accessory set I got at the same time as my GBA SP, no idea for the other one though.

I already have an FM radio for my GBA SP. And it works for shit... No antenna makes positioning yourself the key to good radio reception, and that's just crap.

Whoever came up with the almost-but-not-quite Nintendo port variations needs a good talking to. The person that ordered them to on the other hand can go to the 9th circle. :evil:

Alright so its a radio with an adapter for the GBASP (headphone alternative).

Too bad, I had really hoped for this to be some kind of wireless link that I haven't heard of.

I only know of the Nintendo official wireless linker and the Majesco one.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
