Killer Instinct for the Game Boy, for a watered down port of the SNES version, its quite good despite being limited by two buttons. In mere minutes i was able to replicate my 10 hits combo with Orchid

I'm going to have to get me one. I love that when I was a kid. My very first game that came with my SNES back in 95-96.

Nusdogg do you have a flashcart? your pogymon is on color :gba:

your video is too long i was like: 2 minutes and he didnt turned the thing on, its nice to see the package but you made it booring... the way you showed the old lens, i felt like "see guys, this fits here" you just need to show it for about 3-5 seconds maximum inside the bubblewrap\plastic, take it out and put it again in the video makes it long and very " :huh: "

note: i hope you understand this is a constructive critic, and not a rude\bad one... i just wanted to tell you how to improve the "reviews" a bit..

I understand. I do need someone to let me know, so that I can improve.

you didn't reply to my question, do you have a gbc flashcart?

thanks!

Ops, sorry. No, I don't have a GBC Flashcart. It's just Red Version.

Didn't they still get color? Blue was almost entirely blue and vice versa?

They still do, and you're correct. Blue would be all blue while Red will be like what you see in my vid.

Bought a boxed copy of Japanese Pokemon Gold. Gotta wait until I have more money, then I'm going after stuff for backlighting my Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket, more Japanese Pokemon games, a GB Smart Card, and a linker tool. It sucks being poor.

Found that Division 6 still carries the Stealth Dimmer Chip for the Afterburner Kit from back in the day for only $8.00 plus shipping. Gonna get that ASAP!

Features:
  • Dimming: Hold down the Select button. Now use A (brighter) or B (darker) to smoothly scroll through 75 levels of brightness.
  • Instant On/Off: Hold A or B down first, then press select to skip to full-on or full-off. You can also hold A or B during power-up.
  • Lock Feature: Press Select for 5 seconds to lock the chip so that it will ignore any button presses (Afterburner blinks to confirm). Useful if the game you are playing uses the Select + A or B combination.
  • Memory: The chip will remember your dimmer settings if you turn the GBA off or even remove the battery.
  • Power-Save: Shuts off the light if the A, B, or Select buttons are not pressed for 5 minutes. Comes back on at the touch of a button. Can be disabled by holding the Select button down for 5 seconds (Afterburner blinks to confirm)
  • Standby Sensing: If the GBA is in standby mode, the chip will not activate the power-save feature. This prevents you from having to wake the Game Boy up and then turn the light back on.
  • Flicker-Free: Synchronizes the Afterburner with the GBA's LCD for licker-free dimming.
  • Hum-Free: The Stealth Dimmer is the only chip available that does not introduce a humming noise into the headphone output of the Game Boy Advance when dimming.
  • Built-In Diagnostics: Helps with installation and troubleshooting by blinking error codes on the Afterburner whenever a connection problem is detected.
Now I won't have to drill and hook a switch up to the front light of my GBA. Simple as hitting just two buttons for the light to go off, brighten, or darken the front light. Seems like a bad ass mod. I'mma have to bring this dimmer chip back from the dead as it has been long forgotten.

The GBA with SP front light panel that I'm going to perform on:

I found my old stealth chip I bought back in the days for my afterburner.
It seems to be corrupt though, since it never worked with any afterburner I tested it with.

I was contemplating on buying a new one but never came around doing it.
Make sure to report back with your new mod.

I bought a gold Game Boy Light a few days ago (well, it arrived a few days ago, I bought it about a week ago), and I quite like it. The green light gives me a sense of nostalgia, and it's pretty good. I'm not sure why it's a Japan only though, you'd think that plenty of us westerners would've liked it as well. Still, it's a nice piece of Game Boy history, and it was quite a steal. (this plus a Game Gear for ten Euro's. Hell, it even had free shipping :D .)

Will do. I'll make a video of it once I'm done.

Bought a black gameboy pocket and a off white gameboy pocket from Ebay. Unfortunately I didn't spring on the quicker shipping so it'll be an eternity before it gets here.
