    Misc are there test ROMs for nDS?

    I'm trying to test my DS lite battery life & uptime. When I was testing my GBA battery I ran the AGS aging ROM. I could run that out of slot 2, but I want to run the test a ROM from R4 specifically. I would also be interested in any other useful DS utility ROMs, if they are a thing. I am...

    GBA can you explain this GBA display glitch?

    It's a cool looking glitch, but it's a gameplay freeze and really doubt it's an intended effect I'll be sure to reseat that screen cable next time I'm in there

    GBA can you explain this GBA display glitch?

    This happened a few days ago on my SP running Apotis on the x5 mini & FPv2 IPS. seems to be a fluke, so I'm not too worried, but I'm interested if yall seen this before. It reminds me of playing N64 with other kids back in the day who'd cause video & audio glitches by tilting the carts.

    Gaming If you are tired of free low quality mobile games, then you should start paying for good mobile games.

    I won't pay much for mobile games because in gaming I like actual buttons, hate cold slabs. I'd rather carry a separate device, usually GBA, than some kind of controller-like phone peripheral. The exception to this is fruit ninja, which is uniquely satisfying on the slab.

    Do you actually consider the GBA or GBASP comfortable to use now?

    I'm a small person. A big part of the reason I still love GBs is I enjoy their size & shape... unlike modern mobile gaming slabs. Micro is great for what it is, much better compared to similar size emulation devices I tried. It's the only one that fits tiny-ass pockets which makes it best...

    Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games are coming to Nintendo Switch Online

    Nintendo is a hard company to love, I'd rather be into the steam deck but the heart wants what it wants :rofl2: I'm just glad I like the older systems best so I know exactly what to expect. GB/A are my favorites so I'm happy for the families & whales on NSO. I will also be interested to see how...

    American judge dismisses Joycon-drift lawsuit based on the user's acceptance of the EULA

    I remember when the least skilled player/the little sibling always got handed the 3rd party controller. Nintendo providing fresh joysticks (that will also break down eventually because they have the same problem) is better than nothing...but kids won't do this and many parents won't care to ship...

    Hardware GBA Modded GBA SP, rebooting & freezing. Power draw/battery issue? help

    I had planned to get a new battery, but, when I put my GBA back together with all the batteries... it just worked. I didn't feel confident, but it's been running as normal for about a week now. I don't know what I did right, but I'm guessing maybe some dirt got shaken out of the cart reader, or...

    Hardware GBA Modded GBA SP, rebooting & freezing. Power draw/battery issue? help

    what I could gather from looking at it, is the 2 screen batteries have wires strung thru the hinge, are attached to a part on the same side of the PCB that faces the player while they are holding the device, at approximately the same position of the battery contacts for the 1st battery but on...

    Hardware GBA Modded GBA SP, rebooting & freezing. Power draw/battery issue? help

    Here are the two other batteries behind the screen; The 1st battery is mahko mod (or attached to a mahko PCB, at least) Before I got this one I'd never heard of a 3 battery mod either.

    Hardware GBA Modded GBA SP, rebooting & freezing. Power draw/battery issue? help

    Hello all, I'm new to this forum and new to understanding how electronics and mods work, thanks for your patience. At the beginning of the pandemic I bought a modded GBA SP from an individual's online listing. It has a Funny Playing v2 screen kit. The 1st rechargeable battery in nintendo's...

    happy to be here

    hello all. GBA is my favorite, but I am generally interested in (mostly nintendo) consoles with carts. I own a micro and I bought a modded GBA SP a few years ago, with IPS screen and at least 2 newish lithium batteries. Recently my SP has been unpredictably rebooting or freezing, I am thinking...
