Hey guys!
I bought this thing for my cousin, my uncle wanted a cheap portable console then I remembered of this bad boy from DealExtreme. Check this product on DealExtreme by clicking here!
Many people praise this device, they say it is very good, good quality and finish quality.
So I decided to buy one. For my surprise, it's very cool, very very cool!
It's exactly like one real GBA, but with Backlight Screen, rechargeable battery and Internal 2GB memory for ROMs.
It comes with one cable which you connect in the EXT port, that one used for Link Cable, and it connects to your PC by USB. The cable is proprietary, it could be an mini-usb port instead of this adaptor.
This console comes with an box wich is a clone of the real GBA box! It even says it uses 2x AA batteryes!
It comes with 498 built-in games, which ~100 games are GBA ROMs and the rest are NES games running by PocketNES emulator. It also comes with the Pokémon 2000 movie, which is so cool! LOL!
The screen aspect ratio is off, but just a little bit!
You can use GoombaColor to play GBC games, but you cant play real GBC game paks.
It isn't an GBA EMULATOR. It is one GBA clone in fact! Seems the chineses did reverse engineering on this!
The specs:
- 2GB internal memory for ROMs. Drag and Drop.
- Internal Battery for 3 Hours of gameplay.
- Screen with Backlight.
- Directly saves intro the internal memory.
- You can set the time in the GBA menu.
- Plays original GBA Game Paks too!
Copyed from the box:
1- A new generation high definition screen, colourful and clear image.
2- Improve control system, smooth and durable.
3- Built in direct save technology.
4- Built in clock supported for the seam convergence of clock games.
5- Built in real time save system.
6- Built in real time game guide.
7- Built in soft reset.
8- Built in multi languages.
9- Built in 2gb - 8gb FLASH.
10- Built in multimedia playback system.
Pros:
- Cool and nostalgic.
- Drag and Drop ROMs.
- Very loud and clear sound.
- Baterry.
- The screen is better than the screen of the NDS PHAT.
- Never miss gamesaves.
- It have a bank with screenshot of every GBA game, when you put a ROM inside it's memory, seems it'll check the ROM header and show the proper screenshot in the select game menu!
Thanks to the user thaddius:
- If you're using a real cart it won't save to the cart, just to the onboard memory, so there's no real point in the slot.
- It doesn't play GB\GBC games. (But you can emulate GB/GBC using GoombaColor.)
- It can't connect to other GBAs, other clone GBAs or a Gamecube\Wii.
Cons:
- The cable. If you damage it, you're lose.
- Very fragile USB cable.
- A lot of games don't run very good. But it's only the bad games...
- 3 Hours of battery? I doubt.
- The Link port doesn't work like it should work on a Real GBA!
- Mine came with virus inside the 2GB memory! Then I setted my PC to show hidden files so I could remove the virus inside the Mass Storage. It's a common virus which propagates by Mass Storage devices. It's wasn't the purpose of the chineses.
- Hard buttons. Clicking feel, not pressing feel like the Real GBA.
- Screen aspect raio is a little off.
Tips:
- Press Select + R to open the Save State and Soft Reset Menu.
- Press Select + Start when turning it on to acess the Formatting menu.
- You tryed to format from your PC and now you've got white screen? Try reformatting from GBA's Menu!
- If you have formatted your Console and losed the IMAGES folder (it wipes itself when you format by GBA's menu!) you can download a copy here, I uploaded the entire System Files: http://www.mediafire.com/?6p467o9kvlyo7rr
So guys, check out the pictures that I took. Click to enlarge!
Bye!
