What I can find of my collection at the moment :/

What's that unlabeled GBA cart, near the center above FireRed?
 
Here's mine, I have more gameboys they just don't all fit on my dresser :P. I could take a better picture if you guys want. The collection does include the Gameboy Light and I have an GBA somewhere too around the house.

Awesome dresser (the game related items make no difference) ^_^

So what's up with that naked N64?:shy: And is that a japanese 20th anniversary GBM?

Well, since we are uploading pictures of the whole nintendo handheld line-up I'll post mine too.
Tomorrow, now i shall sleep.

Goodnight and very nice collections you all :D
 
There's quite a story behind that handheld, have you read it?

Yeah, about the mafia and car accident etc.
Which makes this device even more special for me :D

Ah WinCE-powered with an ARM cpu The capabilities of the system are great. From what I have read, the ad-support is a big reason for it failing in its early life.

Funny fact, the ads on the 'Gizmondo with ads' has never took place...
They were actually going to the right way... see what smartphones does now with the ingame ads...

If this was a hit, I'm pretty sure we would also have 3 big handheld competitors (psp, ds, gizmondo) like on the normal consoles (playstation, xbox and wiiu)

Backlit Classic NES sp. the spongebob sp from the first pic was in terrible shape, so I swapped the insides with an extra classic nes sp i had.

There is a gameboy color hiding in this pic. I also have an original gameboy, but it has the missing lines issue with the screen. Also have a bunch more original gb games, but haven't taken a photo of the labels. Here is a pic of how I store them.

IMO it definitely is. But with some caveats:

You need to have a GB X-changer or similar hardware to flash the cart.

This programming hardware requires a desktop computer with a real parallel port and Win9x/XP on it.

I haven't looked in a while to see if anyone has been able to accomplish getting it to work on newer versions of Windows or any other OS though or if there is a USB programmer.

there's an usb ez linker/writer mod by mootan that i like and with his Flash manager for GBx software,
i got it to flash my GB bung carts on windows vista ultimate/32bit laptop.
and it can also dump your game or saves.

why does so many people have two-or even three systems of the same kind?now i don't know how much were priced the GB,GBC,GBA or the SP a their time but it feels so much like a waste of money......
 
Nice mod! I am not sure if I have the right EZ Writer model but I will take a look at it. Since it is my only one, I probably won't want to do this anyway.

Collector-ism for the most part. I buy and sell games/systems for extra money so I've ended up with a fair collection of handhelds. You do not want to know how many 3DS systems I have currently.

One of the few things I never got was a flash cart for the original Game Boy. I might get one eventually, but first I need to find new faceplates for my GBMicros.
