How many of you actually own a gba

[hippy dave]

Got a green Micro, and a clear GBA fitted with an ITA screen (lower screen taken from a DSi, backlit, classic pixel grid and colour reproduction, less motion blur than AGB101 screen)

 

[Daggot]

I've got a black SP

 

[Payne]

1 original gameby
1 gameboy pocket
0 gameboy color
1 gba advance
3 gba advance sp

so 6 in total.

Had a Gba Sp Tribal edition, had to sell it because I was in a bad spot at the time. I'm planning on buying another one since I'm doing better now. If I want to play my gba games I still have my gameboy macro (a ds lite cut in half)

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.)

Knockoff Horipads definitely exist - RetroBit, Old Skool &c. I just searched for ‘GameCube digital classic controller’ and found several.

A friend of mine outright gave me his GBA SP! I know several members of the forum consider the DS' library to be superior, but I think the GBA ended up with a great assortment of games.

Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap was a really great entry from Capcom! It may be my #1 recommendation.

If I want to play GBA, I will use an emulator on my PC

Haven't played Minish Cap yet but am really looking forward to it when I reach that point in my Zelda binge. The 2D Zeldas have the most nostalgia for me, and I really enjoyed the Oracle games which the Capcom team did previously, so should be awesome.

Crystal GBA and blue GBA SP.

Really want to mod the GBA with a red shell and an IPS display.
The red shell mostly because my first GBA was the red Zellers exclusive console that came with Mario Kart Super Circuit.

My sister has a red GBA SP, someday we'll refurbish our consoles with new shells and IPS displays since they're the original SP models with the front lit display.

This one is my pride and joy, though I also have another original and three SPs (one being a 101).

I think I lost my childhood gba in a move a couple of years ago, which was a big blow to me, but I still have a gba sp 101 I picked up from a used game store 8 years ago for 20 bucks. I was going to pick up the same model of gba I used to have, but prices are absolutely nutty now, and I have more pressing things I want to buy that isn’t for just pure nostalgia, but hoping one day I’ll find one again for a decent price.

Not in the picture: New3ds,2ds XL, a PSP and 2 vita's

I have a blue SP like the one I had when I was little

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I have 2 (OG and SP)
The last time I used the SP was to play Four Swords Adventures in 2 player. Never had much luck emulating that game. Haven't used the OG in even longer but it was my childhood GBA, I'm never getting rid of that. Going to install a screen mod eventually, haven't decided if I'll mod the GBC or the GBA first. I might do the GBC first cause I have more nostalgia for it, but I really prefer the GBA form factor.
I want to get an Analogue Pocket which would be a suitable alternative to all of them. But on the other hand it doesn't have the degree of customizability, it only comes in black and white and they both look meh. I loved building 2 custom DMG Game Boys and I want to do the same with the GBC and GBA. I'm more attached to the DMGs, despite never owning a DMG as a kid, thanks to building them myself (and they just look cool) and I'm worried if I got an Analogue Pocket since I have no attachment to it it would not end up being used much.

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

That's Venusaur.

I have a GBA Micro that I need to replace the battery in

 

[Latiodile]

i have one that's AGS 101 modded with a glass lens, but it's only a basic mod so the screen is still dim, one day i should get a USB-C battery pack mod

I actually have several GBAs lol. A few OGs and a couple of SPs. No Micros, though, cool as I think they are.
