How many of you actually own a gba

At this stage of my life I only have Gameboy color

What about you guys?

If I want to play GBA I use an emulator

 

[SAIYAN48]

I had one as a kid. If I want to play my GBA carts, I can use a DS-Lite that I have.

Funny enough I played a lot of GBA (via emulation) on my Wii back in the day

 

[Scarlet]

I have a few GBA SPs, an OG GBA with a nice IPS screen, and a consolised GBA that outputs at a really nice 720p. Also got an Analogue Pocket if that counts.

I still tend to emulate GBA games for things like easy access to speed up, but I do enjoy the OG hardware.

 

[CMDreamer]

I've got a GBA Silver colored, it was brand new when I got it, but it had better times, now it barely works, but still enjoy playing it.

I've always wanted one of those so-called "double-light" SP's, but haven't had the $hance to get one.

 

[DragonMals]

I have an original GBA, Silver GBA SP, and a GameBoy Micro.

 

[Kwyjor]

Two of 'em – a regular, and an SP. Had to open both of them up to clean out the power switch. So bothersome.

I got the regular one mostly because it was dirt cheap and I heard it was the ideal way to play games on the Game Boy Player. (Why the heck isn't there a cheap knockoff of the digital Hori pad!? I guess you can get one of those raphnet adapters, but even those are still a little expensive.)

I went through a lot of trouble trying to find a splitter for the SP that would let me simultaneously plug in a power adapter and a pair of headphones before I finally figured out the power switch thing.

Of course I hardly touch either of them now. Who plays games anymore?

 

[Armadillo]

I still have my old gba sp. I got it and an ezfa at the same time (I still have that as well) when they were current.

I had a Black GBA back in 2005. Someone stole it when I took it to school.

I then had a Clear Pink GBA couple months later. Had to sell it alongside many games (Zelda Oracle of Seasons, Bomberman Max Red, MegaMan 3, Mario Golf, a 16-in-1 GB cartridge, Super Mario Advance 4, Mario Pinball Land, KOF Howling Blood, SSX3, Medal of Honor Underground).

Then I found a White GBA in 2014 or so, it didn't worked, recently threw it away.

RetroArch-Wii is my way to play GBA.

 

[Necron]

Used to own an SP, loved it. But sold it back then to get a DS Lite (which I still own in working condition). Never knew anyone else who had one, so no cable link loss for me, although I do miss the format, can't bother to spend $100+ in getting something else, when there are better options (ds lite or 3DS for me).

At "this stage of your life", you've only got a Gameboy color??? You've GOTTA be, what, 7, 8 years old?

No offense dude, but you gotta branch out and get AT THE VERY MINIMUM a home gaming console, because if you only have a Gameboy color, you're missing out on all the fun!

I had a OG GB (gray brick), GB micro, GBA SP, GBA advance x2, a DS phat etc

Family home was lost for various reasons so anything I have I went back and bought later or got as a gift

Sucks when a hand-held gaming unit dies. I think we can both agree on that...

 

[Exidous]

Never. But playing GBA games on DS was native, not emulated. I only just modded my 3DS, I think that's technically still native (open_agb_firm) rather than emulation. On Wii, it's emulation.

I mention this because this thread made me think it's curious how frequently hardware-enabled GBA game support is, preempting the need for emulation.

 

[The_Dizzy_Vizzy]

Oh and by the way, I own a GBA. I've not touched it since I discovered touching myself, but I still own it.

Additionally, I use "mGBA" on my PS VITA to emulate most GBA games that I have, own or never got to play...

 

[slaphappygamer]

I’ve had a few. Bulba is my recent one.

 

[M7L7NK7]

Nope, thanks to emulation

 

[Chary]

Many GBAs!

 

[Veho]

GBA SP and GB Micro.

 

[DinohScene]

I've got some GBAs.
Have them for decades by now.
