Compared to an SP's backlight, how bright is it?
In response to this I took a comparison photo. Sorry about the quality, but you get the idea.

The black Micro is on the lowest brightness, the pink\silver on the highest (didn't have enough Micros to do the intermediate settings

). The gold GBA SP is an original frontlit model. The others are backlit SPs\SP2s with the charcoal one on the low brightness setting and the red\black one being on the high brightness setting. And of course, the black GBA clone with the unchangeable backlight setting. The clone seems to be among the brightest, which might account for the low battery life.


EDIT: By the way, I scanned the unit with a virus scanner as soon as I plugged it in and it was fine.

They still have them. In purple, glacier, black, and pink.


yes, they say they have, I ordered a month ago and after 3 weeks of waiting they told me it is out of stock, when did you ordered your's ?
Really?

I ordered mine two weeks ago. Maybe they got a new shipment?

Edit: Scratch that. My order was placed on 3/18/2010. I guess it took longer to get here than I thought. I ordered another 2 days ago, I can let you know if they do send it if you want.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    @BigOnYa i was legitimately trying to scratch my leg, this is reminding me of that cylinder post
  • Scarlet @ Scarlet:
    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    People always yap about oh but you loose pixels but yeah it won't look awful either
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Filters are why you don't go on 2nd dates
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol nahhh it's because I usually get what they want on the first date lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I swear if I hear "I don't usually do this on the first date" on more time... I am going to start counting
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
