A Patreon


As you can see, we've decided to step up our game this year: we finally have a modern-era site design, and our press coverage has been increasingly extensive and exhaustive. We have published hundreds of reviews for all platforms over the past years thanks to our amazing editorial team. We now provide you with fresh news coverage for the entire spectrum of the gaming industry (Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, computer gaming...), and unlike most other sites we still have the rare freedom of being able to openly discuss console hacking and system modifications. This freedom is due to the independence we have managed to conserve over all these years.

We're working behind the scenes every day to make this community one of the best and largest independent gaming communities on the web and we intend to keep it that way. But in order to make this happen, to be able to keep providing you with fresh editorial content and in order to conserve our freedom under any circumstance, we need your help.

With your support on Patreon, we intend to do great things: just take a moment to check out our campaign and see for yourself. If you decide to back us, there will be amazing consequences from both individual and community perspectives.

Perks include:
  • Exclusive backer banner/icons (date & details TBC)
  • The return of the GBAtemp Homebrew Bounty - now the GBAtemp Bounty! (details to follow)
  • Early access to tempStyle 2 Black
  • The satisfaction that you're helping support a site celebrating it's 15th Anniversary!
Please visit our Patreon page and we hope you'll consider supporting us just as we've supported you for nearly 15 years.

I found something that doesn't look quite right?

We are still working on the new skin and bugs or sections of the site may have been overlooked when designing it. If you find a bug or something that looks unpolished or in need of updating please let us know in the dedicated thread by clicking here.

It's not dark enough...

We are planning a deep black skin option that is suitable for AMOLED screens. This will be a skin with minimal colours and shading and will be as dark as possible without hampering the user experience. As was the case with tempstyle 2 Dark - this skin will be exclusive to our patreons during its development and will the beta will be open soon, so we hope you might consider supporting us on Patreon (details above).

If you don't mind installing third party browser add-ons, GBAtemp member @Shadowfied has created an alternative dark skin that you might enjoy! Find out more details in their thread here!

I'm on my 720p Laptop with the new dark theme. It looks like I'm browsing the site on an old PC, due to how everything is giant and pushed together! Like how when on an old PC, due to shitty resolution, you could only have a few icons on your desktop. :P

I've been using dark theme since it's inception. Not sure how you can improve upon perfection but let me see what changed.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

It will take some getting used to but good job. For everyone to see what the difference is I've attached pics. The first is what I was used to (dark theme) and the second is obviously the newest dark theme.

I am loving the new Dark Theme for sure :)

One thing I would like to suggest is to add the "Edit" button in the lower right corner of the post instead of leaving it inside the "Message Tools" drop out menu.
That would be it for me :P
I am looking forward to the Black Theme as well :)
