    New Dragon Quest Monsters game announced for Japan

    I grew up with the original GBC DWM/DQM and this is great news! It was my entry to the DQ franchise. I bought DQ XI on the 3DS but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet so I don't know the characters. Once I'm done with Mother 2, I know what I'll be playing next :D

    Hardware Problem with aftermarket AGS101 screen

    No problem :) Glad I was able to help.

    Hardware Problem with aftermarket AGS101 screen

    Yep, it keeps turning forever and the "quality" of the screen resets. When it does, I usually fine tune it and don't turn too much so I won't break anything. You should stop when you think you got the best picture. Best to do this when you have a game running so you don't keep turning the system...

    Hardware Problem with aftermarket AGS101 screen

    My board's a 32 pin and my adapter cable's also a 32 pin. But that's beside the point. I tried switching motherboards with a spare AGB001 of mine (also a 32 pin) and hooking up the backlight screen but half the screen is still borked regardless. When I get money to spare I might consider...

    Hardware Problem with aftermarket AGS101 screen

    It's a 32 pin ^^; UPDATE: I got my new adapter cable. It didn't fix the issue. Looks like my backlight's the issue :( I don't think it's worth the money to replace, so I'll just have to suck it up, I suppose.

    Hardware Problem with aftermarket AGS101 screen

    I'm glad to hear you've seen this issue before! I tried reconnecting the ribbon cables but it didn't fix anything, so I'm guessing it's the soldered wire (which I can't deal with) that's causing the problem. I actually ordered new adapter ribbons and I'm still waiting for them in the mail. When...

    Hardware Problem with aftermarket AGS101 screen

    Cutting the wire never occured to me for some reason. Thanks! Unfortunately there's no one around to look at it for me here, but I have a cheaper option to test it out. I can get another ribbon adapter first (cheaper to test out) then use it to test the LCD on my spare unmodded AGB-001. If the...

    Hardware Problem with aftermarket AGS101 screen

    I did adjust the pot. I turned it all the way until it reset itself, but it did nothing to adjust the half-screen issue. The unit I bought already has the ribbon-adapter cable soldered to the mobo (it's a 32-pin btw), so if I want to replace the adapter, I have to desolder it (I have no...

    Hardware Problem with aftermarket AGS101 screen

    I bought a custom made AGB-001 modded with an aftermarket AGS-101 screen. It works all fine and dandy except for one thing: when viewed from a certain angle, half the screen turns oversaturated like in the picture. This doesn't become noticeable in every game, but for games with lightly colored...

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega: White screen/Micro SD initial error! (after kernel update)

    That's not possible, I'm afraid. I don't have any friends with GBAs (they're all Sony heads or PC gamers) and I don't think it's worth purchasing a unit (used or not).

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega: White screen/Micro SD initial error! (after kernel update)

    I tried what you said, but unfortunately, it still doesn't work. Still getting the initial error.

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega: White screen/Micro SD initial error! (after kernel update)

    By main chip, do you mean the big black square above the "Omega" print?

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega: White screen/Micro SD initial error! (after kernel update)

    Yeah, I think it's the same, but as long as we can't check how your Omega works after a downgrade, we can't definitively conclude that v4 isn't the cause of the issue. Omega is my first GBA flashcart, so unfortunately, I have nothing to fall back onto. (My PSP also hilariously broke after that...

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega: White screen/Micro SD initial error! (after kernel update)

    Don't get me wrong. I appreciate your help. I don't get to see such thorough customer service as often, and it's very reassuring. The OP's case might be slightly different from mine, but in my case, there isn't any point in me trying at the moment because firstly, I can't boot. Secondly, I...

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega: White screen/Micro SD initial error! (after kernel update)

    He said after playing some game, he got the initial error again, and it doesn't work anymore. By the way, I managed to downgrade and still got the error. It doesn't appear to fix anything. Shelved my Omega since it's useless now. I also decided it's not worth the cost/effort to send it back...
