Hey guys, I was just wondering, do you get fake SP consoles other than the ones wth internal games? I'm asking because I might be buying a second hand one this weekend, and I just want to be sure it's not fake. Thanks
Are there any signs to check for to see if it's fake? I know for a fact that it doesn't have built in games
bring a few games and demand to check if they work before you pay because you've been screwed over before? no biggie
Awesome, I'm taking my 3in1 with to test it. so basically if a game works it's NOT fake? The guy is adding an old GBA game aswell, so I'm pretty sure it's original. Thanks guys Man, I might finally finish my nintendo handheld collection!!!!
I got the Vboy from my cousin, he got it when it came out. I just need the SP and the SP+, it's just tricky with the SP's, they seem to be the only ones that have perfect looking clones. It seems that all the clones' screens are a bit stretched, is that true?
you'll know it's a clone if it boots to some weird menu with no game inserted. other giveaways include: - clones have 320x240 res screens so they stretch to fit. the scaling looks kinda ugly. - it doesn't play tony hawks 2 properly (none of the clones can cope with this game for some reason). - flash cart doesn't work (though some of them do) - link cable doesn't work on clones - gameboy carts don't work but you should know all this. being a collector you should also have all of the clones in your collection
Check under the cover of your GBA console to see if there's an serial-like numbers and letters. If there's nothing, then it's fake.
I got a very good quality fake GBA-SP and it had serial and all other printed text on it. 1) Unit's outer shell was identical to a genuine GBA-SP. 2) Fake GBA-SP has a "clumsy" package. You can easily tell the difference if you ever see the real package. (by package, I mean cartoon box and internal layout. 3) My fake unit's screen ratio was different than the original (it was not wide-screen) 4) Fake is a little bit slower. ~%10-15 slower than genuine device. 5) Fake has ~100 integrated fully functional GBA games. (All different and fully working... working a little bit slower though...) 6) Fake is cheap $40~60 for a brand new unit. (I bought it for $90 without knowing it was fake. and instantly refunt the unit) at the other hand, I bought a genuine but used GBA-SP (IQUE) AGS-101 It does have the serial sticker but the right side of the sticker was totally blank !!!
