Hardware I gots a GBM :D

[kaputnik]

Maybe I'm a bit late, bought my brand new silver GBM half a year ago. Got it from a store that sold the last ones they had in stock at a fairly good price, paid 600 sek for it if I remember it right. Considering what some ppl in this thread are willing to pay for a GBM, it seems I made a pretty sweet deal there

Tbh, I didn't even know GBM existed before I saw mine. It was love at first sight, didnt take me a second to decide to get one :>

 

[BrainDamage]

Is there anyplace that still carries these? even at a gamestop/trading company type place? If I were to magically find one at a gamestop, how much would i have to pay, you think?

If you can find one at a Gamestop (it won't be magically, but maybe more like luckily), they'd probably cost about from $35-$40? I think it says $35 on their website. But yeah, finding one is still pretty rare from what I've heard..

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

you can find them on amazon marketplace for around 100 bucks new, 50 used and 200+ for those that just want to waste money.

hi people, i buy a second hand gbm for 50 dolars, but can´t find where to buy news faceplates for it

so someone knows where to buy it online?

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

They stop making them. All I could find were those 5 dollar stickers that you put over the faceplace, and they try and pawn them off as the actual faceplate.

I would like to get a few, even if they are knockoffs or whatever.

Had my micro for a few weeks now and loving it. I mean i've played gba games in the past but just so convenient now without having to take a huge device if i ever need to play a quick game! Screen is bright and awesome!
Dieing for a new faceplate though! The blue faceplate it came with is fairly scratched on the screen - luckily if i can find a replacement the unit will be near new, the rest of the system is in mint condition.
If anyone gets any leads on some faceplates please post here, cant find a thing on ebay. Besides that, best 10 bucks i ever spent!

 

[Cauthonluck]

The only possible way to get a replacement is to call Nintendo Directly and hope they still have a few in stock. Don't go to their website, call an actual nintendo number and talk to an actual nintendo person in parts.

Your second option is to check ebay every day hoping someone posts a replacement faceplate, or buy a GBM on ebay that comes with multiply faceplates, then sell the GBM and keep the faceplates.



On another note, I just got a faceplate from nintendo, its the ladybug one. Its new, unused in the original packaging. How much does anyone think i could get for it on ebay? Thanks

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

3 bucks maybe if it is in good condition and not any of the fugly ones. I doubt it will go higer than 5 bucks since that is what the original cost on nintendo.

I don't care for getting it off ebay, not interested in buying one.

I called them (NoA) 2 days ago, they said they don't keep it in stock anymore. The other regions will not even ship it to the USA, the "not authorized to sell outside thier given region" speech.

 

[Cauthonluck]

I think i could get more than $5, as you said they are almost impossible to find, and this is new in the wrapper.

Here is what he lady bug faceplate looks like - http://www.gameboy-micro.com/faceplates.htm - its the red one.

You could put a new cover over it if you don't like the design, the main thing people want is a screen free of scratches.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

I don't do stickers.

The adhesive is a lint magnet once it starts to melt.

 

[Cauthonluck]

Fair enough, I'm just saying its a new never been used, hard to find GBM faceplate. The design isn't that bad, and if you were crafty enough, you could paint it another glossy color.

Veho, if you want a GBA flashcart get a m3lite perfect with gba sized shell then it fit flush in the slot you do not want a pro because pro only has 4MB ram meaning you can only play gba roms 4MB or less

I can't find a M3 lite perfect in Dutch online stores :S
The closest I could find is this
http://www.sniptech.eu/m3-real-gba-expansion.html

It's M3 Real GBA Expansion with a GBA sized and Lite sized shell
Does it do the same thing as a M3 lite perfect with gba sized shell? I mean, is it usable as a standalone GBA flash card?
I would really like to know that

If you want a GBA sized shell, you will have to get it off of someone from the trading section or use a hot glue gun and mod a GBA shell from a M3 GEP.

Thanks for the help, but the products from these links are only the m3 lite perfect shells

Is there a M3 lite perfect expansion standalone package or something like that? I can't find the GBA flash card itself.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

The thing you call "M3 lite perfect expansion standalone" is correctly called a M3 GBA Exapnsion Pack (GEP) aka M3 GEP NOT M3 lite perfect anything. The M3 perfect is a STANDALONE product, while the M3 GEP is a slot1 dependant device.

The closest shop that sells the M3 GEP that is clostest to you is this place:

Sorry that I was not very clear. I'm searching for the thing Shadow mentions. A GBA flashcard suitable for a Gameboy Micro.

Sorry for the inconvenience
