/vr/ - Retro Games

>>2224737
Very neat

>>2224737

gba games aren't /vr/

>>2224784
Gba retro as fuck

>>2224784

>>2224792
Nigger gameboy retro ends at GBC. Get with the program.

>Loved my gameboy as a kid
>lost all my best games

Can't find Kirby's Dreamland, or Mario Land 1, 2, or 3. Fuuuuuck. I still have Link's Awakening though.

>>2224797
Go back to /v/ with your racist uneducated defense

>>2224808
Take your own hint go back to /v/ with your GBA shit.

>>2224817
how

Also this.

Who has a Play It Loud?

>>2224835
it's an ags-101 screen from a GBA SP.

you can mod it into the original gba either by a thousand hours of rewiring or by buying a 6 dollar cable.

it's awesome.

as for the case that's a custom job from rose colored gaming.

here's a pic of when i was testing my ags-101 screen

>>2224859
i'm pretty sure i added the photo...

i need more shit

>>2224817
>buying overpriced mods

>>2224742
Why does that far right Silver have the Forest Spirit from Princess Mononoke?

>>2225243
For shits and giggles

>>2225426
Does the Gold still save?

>>2225441
I actually just replaced the battery on it. Wario Land's battery is dead though.

>>2224858
Oh fuck, I require that Man U GameBoy in my life. Back when men were men, Beckham was the best and the IRA nearly blew me up in Omagh.

>only a 113$ from the germans on ebay too

On a side note to everyone else, has anyone tried the Cassette cases with labels for their GB games with any success?

Fuck Liverpool

>>2225449
just wondering your preference, solder or tape the battery in?

>>2225474
I taped it in.

>>2224737
Since this is the best thread for it.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU SHELVE THIS INFERNAL THING?

I swear this one cart doesn't fit in any box or case I have, I want uniformity with my other custom cases, but.. ugh.

Sure, I'm due a new photo of my GB games.

>>2225513
I keep my gameboy games in a cigar box on top of the NES. Gotta go with non-standard storage for some of these.

bump

Bump. Gonna post my little collection once I get home

Whenever a game boy collection thread shows up there is always at least one pokemon game in the collection, sometimes more than one, and even more than one of the same game.

>mfw mine has none

>>2225513

>>2226507
Same here if you exclude Pinball and Puzzle Challenge.

>>2226508
That looks pretty nice. Do you design those yourself or are those from the internet?

>>2226507
they're really not that hard to find, you can get them really easily. don't be sad.

>>2226507

>>2226553
Only thing I see on this pic is some GameBoys and lots of money under them

>>2226576
In what country do you pay with pokemon cardridges?

>>2226578
Pokemonia

>>2226553
c-can I have a copy of Red?

Best place to buy game cases? Just ebay?

Here's my lil' collection.
Before anyone asks: This black game in upper right is Tetris. Why is it painted black and without label? I dunno.

>>2227141
>Kwirk
Mah nigger.

And Tetris or Tetris 2?

>>2227156
The first one. I've never had an occasion to play second one. Is it worth getting?

>>2227190
Well it actually saves your score

>>2225486
get out of my /vr/

i hope you lose your saves for all eternity.

>>2226540
I make them myself.
When you see it assembled in your hand it feels very comfy.

>>2227468
Pretty cool. Would it be too much if I asked you to share the template? If you don't wanna though, that's fine

>>2227510
The template is the full size image, silly.

>>2227537
I meant clear template without any game on it, so I could make my own boxes. But I guess I could make a template like this out of the Dr. Mario one.

I messed up sniping this pressscious and I'm pretty depressed about it...

>>2227681
>dat battery power

>>2227510
Sure. I had a tumblr where i posted every cover i made in psd format but it barely had any visitors so i shut it. I'll post it later

>>2225463
up the ra
26+6=1

>>2227748
Awesome. I'll be waiting for that

>>2224815
>>2224808
Both of you cut it out and shut up
1)GBA doesn't belong here, anything that was made after 1999[unless its a romhack, gameplay mod, homebrew stuff, Emulation hardware and anything made for a console/system that was released in or before 1999] is not allowed, and the GBA isn't one of the mentioned things therefore it doesn't belong here. The only exception would be to talk about how GB/GBC games play on GBA or the best way to mod a GBA non-SP/Micro to have backlight or flashcart material
2)The GBA is as good as its successors if not better (at least in my opinion) and it should not be called shit

>>2228171
>>2227510
Here are the PSD files:
https://mega.co.nz/#F!mIUhjY4Z!Sk6zJqHsIgZDG3i_vxcBBw

There are three box types there (the beginning of the filenames indicate which ones), GB, GBC and GBCR (for the games with rumble) and one special box for the tamagochi 3 game.

>>2227681
I have one of those too. Not even the final form.

>>2224817
Very nice, anon

>>2228465
Thanks m8

Random tip to all you Game Boys out there:

If you got a GBA SP and you want to play Kirby Tilt'n'Tumble or Game Boy Camera or some other game that needs to be right-side up, just use a GB GameShark with the game. That thing plugs into the system and then has a reverse-direction plug for the cart, so it will set your upside-down carts right side up.

>>2228545
What does it need 4 C batteries for?

>>2228584
light and speakers

>>2228586
Is it wall adapter compatible? I can't imagine actually taking that thing anywhere.

>>2228595
It is.
>>2228583
Neat and works with the XPloder too if you want to play Tilt'n'Tumble.

The Camera you can flip either way tho.

>>2228465
You're the man now dawg. May your batteries always be full, and your light-sources plentiful.

>>2224737

>>2229143
If you need any tips on printing/assembling let me know. Or try it yourself, by printing one or two first.

I'd keep a blog or something like it and keep uploading new ones or requests, but I tried tumblr and didn't really like it.

>>2229184
I made some boxes myself based on your templates. Gonna print and assemble them tomorrow. Will post pics after I'm done.

>>2229213
Nice. Good luck there, man. Hope they turn out great.

I need a better camera.

I need a better camera.

>>2224742
WHY SO MANY??

>>2228583
I turn my GBA SP so the screen faces upwards. This allows the camera to face forward and the screen image not be upside down. Just look down like you're using a Rolleiflex camera.

>>2228465
Dude this is awesome ! Cheers man! Diff guy hoping to see these

So will the GBA be considered retro next year (15 years)?

>1 of 2

>>2229421
>2 of 2

>>2229421
I hope so. There will be so many discussions to be had. Although, technically there is now because of all of the retro ports on it that can be discussed here. Also love those labels. Glad to see someone takes care of them.

>>2229327
I only paid for one Yellow, one Silver, one Pinball, Ruby and Jade.

>>2229353
Nice, I was thinking about getting that big case

miine.
cassette cases, photoshopped cover art. and some loose ones.

>>2229327
So other people can play without erasing saves, duh.

>>2224808
Shut up you double nigger.

Anybody got a Game Boy light?
How good is it?

>>2229458
Is there a template for the cassette cases or a place to buy them?

>>2226586
What's the national anthem?

>>2229973
like you had to ask
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuYeHPFR3f0

>>2224784
He only had a few in the pic. He was obviously showing off the GB carts, mostly.
> OP, THAT SHELF ISN'T RETRO. WAS OBVIOUSLY BUILT IN 2005. REPORTED

>>2224737
Sigh.
I want a Gameboy.
One of those old brick models.
Why does everyone have to charge so much for em....

>>2230190
Because a lot of people want them.

>>2230190
In 2003-2007 they were cheap as hell. You could get one got like 5-7€. No idea why prices blew up after that.

>>2229421
I don't think so but it would be cool if we could legally discuss BG2 and D2

Is GBoy worth the money?

Anybody know where I can get a back cover to the gameboy pocket? I'll post my shit later, it gives me a boner looking at it

>>2230517
ebay or make one yourself.

I am thinking about biding on this
http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions/15-Nintendo-GameBoys-for-Parts-Repair-19910155.html
should I and how high should I go

>>2230780
2 bucks per gameboy max

>>2230790
Thanks

>>2230618
Make one, that sounds neat. But how

>>2230998
Download the model and use a 3D printer at a college near by.

Ok, so I finished assembling the boxes. They came out awesome. Thanks again to Anon who shared his templates

>>2231004
Ah ty. Here's my collection, its early but its very dear to me

>>2231020 :)

>>2230780
goodwill has good prices but really shitty shipping costs. go for it tho

>>2231017
What weight cardstock?

>>2231020
>turquoise GBC

ma nigga

>>2226553
Sure, pokemon is fun I guess. But it's not "lets buy 9001 carts of the same fucking game" kind of fun.

>>2231028
I dunno really, I just asked fot the thickest paper they had. I'd guess it's 240 g/m2

>>2231038
>not catching them all

>>2231045
Well, some people invest their money on stock market, others buy vintage video games I guess

>>2226553
get a better taste in games.

>>2231045
Why? You don't play them all, you don't have a save file on each one and can tell me what your party is on each game. What is the point of this, I think you have mental problems bro.

>>2231045
I would laugh so hard if a bunch of those yellows were actually donkey kong land carts with missing labels and you don't even know because you don't play all your games.

>>2224858
I've got a play it loud. Are they particularly special?

>>2231061
Somebow you sound mire like crying.

>>2231069
It is just a normal Game Boy with color (the plastic of the Game Boy the screen is still 4 shades of green) that came in a plastic case.

They are not actually louder than the normal grey one.

>>2231017
Nice, but I bet you didn't crease those lines before folding. Same thing happened to me when making the first box. On the next ones I learnt my lesson.

>>2231043
That should be enough. I did mine with 340g paper. They ended up being too thick. I think 300g should be the best.

>>2231194
Yeah I didn't. But I actually like how they look. They kinda look like they're a lil' bit old and that appeals to me

>>2231017
This actually great

>>2231208
Nice, as long as you're happy with the results all is fine with the world, man.

I had done Golf, Dr. Mario and Super Mario 2, man, you didn't have to go through the trouble to make those.

>>2225105
>not making them yourself

get on my level pleb

>>2231045
are you poké-getter?

>>2229475
good, but not as good as a gbasp...

Question: can a gameboy micro with a gameshark/gamegenie or similar play classic gameboy games

Here's mine. Some gba slipped in, but it's mostly relevant.

My little collection.

Got the GBA at the Leeds Video Game Market with Doom for a tenner a few weeks back.

>>2226507
>Some of the best selling games on the system are really common
No fucking shit, sherlock.

You going to complain about everyone having Mario Bros. + Duck Hunt next or something?

Can't play the Evangelion mahjong game because no GBC. I used to have one back then, also had more games, but this is all that's left.

>>2232049
pic

>>2224737

>>2231989
Very nice
>>2232030
Still best GBC version

>>2232051
Super Gameboy doesn't play GBC games?

I thought the US version did?

>>2232074
Weak.

>>2232095
Nope. The Super GameBoy is just a gameboy in a fancy case.

If a gameboy can't play Color, then the SGB cant.

>>2232117

>>2232120
That one has a link port for pokeymenz.
Still no color, though.

>>2232136
Well that sucks ass.

Looks like you need to buy a GBC or GBA or GBA SP or Game Boy Player or Game Booster for N64 afterall.

I take it the Retrovision doesn't play Color games neither?

>>2229320
>that japanese burger time

>>2232095
According to Wikipedia, it plays GBC games, but only the black cartridges ones

>>2232156
Well the black cartridges are just Game Boy games with a dedicated color scheme if you play them on a GBC/GBA. Every Game Boy can play those. The transparent ones are GBC only.

>>2231057
>>2231061

DO I DETECT A SLATHERING OF JELLY

>>2232074
>nearly 8 gigs

ok how much of that is child porn

I have two of those but I am not sure they work. How long do they charge?

>>2224858
I've got a green play-it-loud, but it's missing the screen cover and the battery plate is completely fucked, and hence both parts need replacing.

Here is my meager collection. I picked up Star Ocean at the Anime Expo last year and plan on playing it once I up my moonrune capabilities.

Not pictured are my consoles which are currently in storage at my parent's house. I should probably bring at least one with me since I can't play any of those right now.

I have a purple, a clear purple, and a Pokemon G/S special edition Gameboy Color, plus a Gameboy in not terribly great condition and a purple Gameboy Pocket that's missing the battery cover. I should buy one online but I can't justify the $5 shipping for a $5 item right now. I'm too poor. Eventually, though.

>>2232410
Plug it in overnight. If it doesn't power your Game Boy for long, if at all, then consider it dead.

>>2233172
What's the difference between these two?
I have the one on the left, I've never seen the other one before...

>>2233416
Left is Gargoyle's Quest. Right is Japan-only Gargoyle's Quest II.

>>2233416
The one on the right is a port of the nes game.

>>2233445
>>2233460
Thanks!

>>2233445
The Snes version?

>>2233662
No, that's Demon's crest.

-Gargoyle's Quest (1990) (Game Boy)
-Gargoyle's Quest II (1992) (NES, Game Boy)
-Makaimura Gaiden: The Demon Darkness (1993) (Game Boy) (An enhanced re-mixed version of Gargoyle's Quest II)
-Demon's Crest (1994) (SNES)

>>2233704
Oh right

>>2232224

Of what?
Having multiple copies of games? I guess one or even two additional is OK, in case of lost or damage etc.
But why should I envy someone who has 20 Pokemon Red/Blue carts? I only need one!
So have fun, I guess.

Do you sometimes bathe in them and rub them all over your body, like Scrooge?

>i don't even want one copy of time cop!

>>2233172
nice one. jelly

I usually have trouble figuring out what game to play next...

>>2235092
>implying the DS screens aren't junk compared to the GBA Micro, GBA SP 101 and even regular SP or GBA

>>2235357
I bought an EDGB from Stone Age. The PCB is slightly warped so once it's in the Game Boy it's stuck unless you pry it out.

Such quality control.

>>2235374
That's actually not true. Blacks are displayed properly on the DS screens and colors are more accurately represented. Closer to what you'd see if emulating on a standard LCD than the GBA line up.

>>2235375
I don't have that issue...

>>2235357
>>2235375
Just a question here. Does the Everdrive GB work in a GBA? Because GBA flashcarts definitely don't work with GB/GBC games because by the time it's booted into the menu the console is already locked in GBA mode.

>>2235394
Yes.
In fact, the GBA is the only way I can use it since it doesn't get locked in.

>>2235402
Welp, that's one more thing on my wish list.

>>2230459
I'm gonna go on a limb and blame chiptuners, since they're constantly carving them up to use them to make music. It could just be plain speculan tho.

>>2235409
>speculan
Yes. That.

>>2235409
The Brickboy sold over 118 million units over the years. I'm pretty sure a buncha chiptune hipsters wouldn't cause shortages and price inflations. It's the general collection wave that sets in about 15 years after the high point of a particular piece of hardware when people who used to play it as kids enter the working world and earn enough money not to care whether a bunch of nostalgia costs them ten bucks or fifty bucks. Look at N64s, N64 games and GBAs nowadays.

>>2235419
>I'm pretty sure a buncha chiptune hipsters wouldn't cause shortages and price inflations
Shortages no, price inflation yes.

The original game boy sold for like $40 retail. That price was the standard for a long time until chiptunes got "big". Now everyone wants to sell their game boy for $80-$120 because it's potential audio equipment.

>>2231045
Get on my level fellow feebay scum.

>>2235374
Regular DS maybe, never had one but the DS Lite is quite a bit better.

The micro has a nice screen but is just too small from man hands.

>>2235419
Nah, everything retro suddenly got a lot more expensive around 2007. I blame You Tube becoming popular and 'Nerd Culture' in general.

>tfw bought a NES Super Set including all 4 controllers, the SMB/Tetris/NWC cardridge, the NES Four Score and the original styrofoam on ebay for 17€ in 2005

personally I think those sort of mods are kinda lame, it's still just a GBA, paint job mods are more impressive to me.

>>2224858
its called a game boy color, play it loud was just the advertising tag line.

>>2236071
god this image is hot, could you link to the whole pic?

>>2224858

>>2226509
>>2226553
Holy fuck

>>2228604
That's clever.

>>2224808
Racist or not. Gba isn't retro. He speaks the truth.

How can I get a real AGS 101 these days? On ebay it's all systems with replaced cases or fucked up cases. I guess I wouldn't mind a modded case if it worked as well as the real thing, what's my best and most affordable option? Can anybody buy an aftermarket backlit SP and recommend a seller? I know of rosecoloredgaming or whatever but they never seem to actually have anything in stock ever. Plus it's kinda expensive.

>>2236239
Oh, and before you say "not retro" I'm wanting to go back to buying original B&W Game Boy games, the AGS 101 seems like the best way to play them. I would also consider a wide GBA if there was a really good screen mod.

It's not a very big collection, considering I got my first Game Boy Color with Rampage about 16 or so years ago. I think I lost a lot during my parent's divorce, but can't remember.

>>2236168
that certainly doesn't mean that the image OP posted isn't related to retro gaming though.

>>2236091
Here it was called Game Boy - Special Edition
>>2226509
What is that yellow game with Pikachu on it, Pinball?

>>2236407
How is Oddworld?

Always wanted to try the Game Boy games.

>>2236239
>>2236247
Not retro

>>2236698
In a year it will be.

>>2236684

>>2235092
>Portable system
>TV screen over comfy as fuck handheld screen
It's like you actually enjoy stretched pixels and smudges.

>>2236909
I enjoy better visibility, colors and customization options.

The Game Boy Player also lets you chose if you want to play in full screen/stretched or not and there is a screen filter for softening the edges if you are into that kind of thing.

Does anyone have any problems with gameboy pockets killing save batteries? I've heard that they do that.

>>2237150
Wot how would that even happen?

>>2236892
is that dbz game horrible?

Sadly all of my bootlegs are non /vr/

>>2237162
Dunno, I've just heard the rumor.

>>2237181
All it is is a translated version of Dragon Ball Z: Goku Gekitōden put into a Pokemon Red cardridge.
Looks like they didn't even have a Gamebit and just drilled the security screw open and replaced it with a Phillips screw, lel.

The graphics look fine but the fighting is weird as hell. I just wish it was more like either Advanced Adventures or an RPG.

It's been years since I played, but I don't think I ever beat it. I remember it being pretty boring and slow.

>>2237481
Why it only works with 2 games and they seem to be really shitty.

>>2237481
>>2237515

I think that they're pretty neat.
I have all the accessories so it's kinda fun to play with, but mostly its a desk decoration.

You can get broken ones for dirt cheap (I got mine game and everything for $2) and it's super simple to fix them.

You know where it's at!

My collection of gameboys ( and some stuff you can ignore ).

Seems very nice but a little stuffed.

>>2237582
For you.

>>2237570
What kind of display case is that? I've actually been looking for a glass display cabinet and that looks perfect.

>>2237584
those are even worse. You literally have no concept of color I see.

>>2237586
Sorry, I can't help you there. It was part of a furniture set my grandparents got from someone, and they didn't need the display cabinet part of it ( I think it was intended for glasses and stuff? ).
>>2237576
I don't have enough space to individually display all this.

>>2237595
I enjoy your jelly. This one truly is shit though.

>>2238732
I made them, they are almost the size of the carts.
The final ones look like these.

Now that I stopped posting them, there is some interest. Goddamnit.

>>2238867
Those look legit as fuck, what kind of paper did you print it on and with what kind of printer?

>>2238871
I took them to a print shop. I printed mine with 340g/m2. The guy who posted the ones he printed used 240 I think. Anything between 240 and 340 should work well. The thicker the sturdier. The ones I uploaded are all on 300dpi so you should use a pro laser printer for the best result.
You can always try printing one at home with a thick paper. What color? Whatever you like, man. That's the beauty.

If you intend on using the PSDs I uploaded, or making your own, the things you need to keep an eye for (except for the obvious) is changing all of the text. It's easy to forget changing one of the three codes.

Also, if you're making your own, try to find the logo to cut and place on the gray area below, or just stretch the box to fill the gray area.

If you need any tips on how to assemble, let me know.
I had a tutorial but also deleted it.

>>2238897
That is quite amazing.

>>2238897
These also can help.

>>2238871
Anyone know where I can get one of those? the rca adapter?

Just bought a box of Game Boy accessories and what the hell is this?

>>2239032
Looks like a... battery powered battery charger?

>>2239039
Seems so and that is the most retarded thing I ever heard about. Even for Brooklyn.

I guess I at least have an extra GBC back cover now.

>>2239046
Yeah.
Extra covers are nice to have though.
I've had the clip on one cover wear out and break.

>>2238858
EMS SmartCard
>64MB
>2 pages of ROM storage
>Holds ONE .sav at a time
>Chinese
>Dodgy firmware

Everdrive
>SD card compatible up to 32GB
>Holds multiple .sav files
>Drag and drop

As someone who owns the SmartCard, bought it during my chiptune phase I wouldn't recommend it if you're only intention is to play games. It's real use shines as an LSDJ cart when you use the first page for LSDJ and it's .sav while using the second page for music programs and games that don't save.

>>2239032
>>2239046
I would keep it just because it's so ridiculous that it's almost unbelievable it exists.

>>2239032
It's a battery pack. It usually came with a charging cord, too.

>>2239578
Now I saw it too.

So I guess you could carge batteries and a battery pack with it. That is kinda neat.

>>2239578
Now I saw it too.

So I guess you could charge both batteries and a battery pack with it. That is kinda neat.

>>2239616
I had a Madcatz version, and from what I remember it was a pain in the ass to carry around and often fell out of the back, leading to constant frustration and many saves lost.

>>2239416
>EMS SmartCard
There does exist a program that will flash on a menu that does some magic moving around of save-files in the SRAM that will allow you to have more than one .sav at a time.

I have yet to test it myself though, since it is windows only.

>>2239416
So the Everdrive is not chinese?

And what makes it better than the Drag N Derp?
Well besides being cheaper of course.

>>2224784
Yet you complain over a few games. Tsk tsk.

>>2226956
Ahh, back when buying retarded looking cases for your electronics was a new thing...

>>2230459
Because hipster fags buy the common game systems with their parent's money.

>>2241084
Nice collection but man that GTA cover blows.
>>2241186
Sure that one sucks and people even bought it thinking there was a black Game Boy inside, lel but I wish the GBC and GBA had as great plastic cases as the GB and GBP have.

Some more of the accessories I bought.

Some more of the accessories I bought.

part 1/3, since I'm not very good at laying out camera shots

>>2241826
part 2/3

>>2241826
God I want that Game Boy Game Boy Case.

>>2241828
And part 3/3. my copy of silver isn't pictured as it's in the GBC, and I did have a copy of Oracle of Seasons, but it was stolen by a former friend back in middle school (something on 12 years ago)

>>2241831
4/3 just for you anon, this is what the inside looks like

>>2241828
>all that legal bullshit on the Lion King label

Disney, pls

Can someone explain something that happened to me as a kid with my GBC? One time I turned on the GBC but it had no game in it but a mario game came on the screen. It was really glitchy and simple and I was really young but I know it happened cause I continued to try it now and then for awhile.

>>2241841
Mad jelly, those are not so easy to come by here.

Man the gameboy had the best cases.
>>2241828
>GS on those Pokemens
So could you actually catch Celebi in the US version or was that Nippon only?

Also I had no idea there was a Monster Rancher game on Game Boy.

>>2241869
Celebi was a coded event that required an item you where only supposed to be able to get from the japanese versions (it had something to do with a location in the game associated with a cell-phone link-up).

Of course the item and even still exist in the other versions, and since the early games where coded so poorly, there are exploits (without cheat devices) that allow you to access that event and catch him, yes.

>>2231045
you're supposed to collect 151 ingame pokemons

not the video game carts

>>2241876
I think in the EU version it was impossible to catch it without a cheat device. You couldn't get the GS ball at all. But the shrine where you had to put it was still in there.

>>2241869
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Celebi_Egg_glitch if your interested.
Also, There where 2 gameboy color monster rancher games, the first being the one pictured, and the other was a remake of solomon's key with MR characters called Monster Rancher Explorer.

>>2241869
Those are some nice displays on the top.

>>2241842
There are worse.

>>2241884
Nice.
>remake of solomon's key with MR characters called Monster Rancher Explorer.
lol I would have hated that as a kid.

Sorry I'm late to the party...

Is it true that now all the Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellows start to die like the Silver, Gold and Crystals did 4-5 years ago?

And do you actually desolder the batteries or just clip them off and fixed it with tape? Man what a shitty way atleast they fixed it with Ruby and what came after.

Gen 2 has CR2025 batteries but the ones in Gen 1 are smaller too.

>>2241052
Curiosity bump

>>2242073
GSC die much quicker due to the fucking clock draining the battery all the damn time. I've tested a bunch of RBY and none of them have had dead batteries so far [citation needed]. I replace with CR2032, its a tighter fit but a longer life. I also tape mine in with electrical tape, but many here consider that a cardinal sin . I would solder but the tabbed batteries are so much more expensive.

>>2242073
My original Yellow saves without problem, and I bought it when it came out.

>>2242152
Yeah I know the clock is the issue, it still is a pretty faulty system. I also heard people using a CR2032 for a longer life but I just clipped the battery since I didn't have a soldering iron at hand at the time and it was already tight as it is with just taping the battery so I went with the CR2025.
>>2242172
Just tested my yellow I bought shortly after release and it also still holds a save and saves. ~15 years for R/B/Y was just what I heard back when S/G/C cardridges started to fail.

>>2226576
Same here. Whenever I see pictures like this, it makes me think they're resellers showing off how much money they're going to make off of nostalgia.

>>2228545

>>2242152
The tabbed batteries are pretty cheap off of ebay. Just buy in bulk.

>>2242152
True, and I think gen 3 Is about to go too.
My Emerald version died last week.

>>2242601
My Ruby died 3 or so years ago. But you won't lose your savefile the clock just stops running.

These guys and then all these;

- 5 DMG (2 of them do not work)
- 1 Pocket
- 4 Color (most of times I play with Yellow one)
- 2 SP
- 2 Camera
- 1 Printer

Does Kirby's Dreamland 2 usually save? Because mine doesn't.

My humble collection.

Question: How does /vr/ store their cartridges. I can't find an eloquent way so I resort to putting them all in a ziplock bag.

>>2244968
ziplock bag ? why ?
I have them all in a box sorted alphabetically.

Also, GBA games, watch out for /vr/ the Inquisition lol

>>2244968
They fit nicely into those Iris brand drawers, but no easy way to look for a game.

Another thing you could try are trading card sheets for binders. They're just the right size for GB carts and allow a quick way to look through your collection.

>>2244968
If you don't feel like buying those plastic cases for each of them a cheap and easy way would be what >>2245086 said.
There are binders made for Game Boy games.

And the rest of the Game Boy accessories I bought the other day.

1/3
5 link cables, a GBC lamp, another GBC battery pack, a gamebit and a bunch of AC adapters.

2/3

Minus the Game Boy.

3/3

>>2245086
>>2245115

I never even considered that. Great idea thanks!

>>2245086
What is that white game?

>>2245186

let me guesssss... ¿?¿?

>>2245167
I love how the german for jungle book is phonetically the same as in english

>>2243663
I just took the battery out and it is a CR1616.

N64 cartridges use C2032 by the way. God I hate this.

>>2245585
Don't they all output 3v? I would assume you can just use either one as long as you can find a space to fit it.

>>2245167
Forgot these.

>>2245585
>>2246894
CR2032 will fit in all GB/GBC games, its just a real bitch to get them closed.

>>2226508
Excellent designs and good taste in games.

>>2246894
Sure bit it is a pretty tight fit for the Kirby cartridge since it was designes with a CR1616 in mind.

I only wrote that about the N64 because I fear my Pokemon Stadium will fail me soon.

Any way to back that data up?

The GB was my favorite system growing up. Then the awful screen on the original GBA completely killed portable gaming for me.

>>2247925
Wow, not that is a fanctastic collection.
>the awful screen on the original GBA
I still can't understand why they didn't give it at least a backlight.

Gameboy SP + classic pokemon games forever

Wait shit am I gonna get banned for saying gameboy S-

>>2247994
It was the ultimate in cost cutting

>>2244968
A small wood chest.
Everything just fits beautifully.

>>2247636
Thanks, bro.

>>2235763
w-why does this actually look real

>>2226508
This is so damn good.

Too bad the plastic cover doesn't fit inside it too or I would make some for myself.

>>2248201
There were three competing handhelds on the market, all recent products, that didn't have illumination. Unlit screens were the industry standard at that time.

It was just Nintendos retarded ass "Lateral Thinking of Withered Technology" and because of the lack of competition on the handheld market on a world wild scale they got away with it.

>>2248525
Okay?
Where's your collection?

>>2248528
Already posted it m8.

>>2248532

I can imagine you hurriedly dumping your collection onto the ground and frantically lining up your carts and boxes.

Your mother passes hears the commotion, pokes her head in the doorway and says "what's going on, anon?"

"They're posting game boy collections on my website," you huff; "I've gotta show 'em! They're going to flip when they see how many copies I have! No one's got more than I do..."

Your mother forces a smile before carrying on, suppressing a sigh.

>>2226553
your a future scalper waiting to happen. ive seen idiots buy carts in those conditions with dead batteries at minimum 40$ a pop

>>2248602
Nice projection.
>>2248765

>>2248492
It's real till you open up the carts. Willing to say all those are fake carts.

>>2248502

>implying we don't know how to have both

>>2241880

I have this but I don't know what it is.

>>2232156
So would the colors of those black games be displayed right on the Game Boy Player like they would be on a GBC? Or would they also be at semi random like with any other GB game?

Because I know GB games with the Game Pak logo on them had additional color information for the Super Game Boy but as far as I remember the color information was never as detailed as with those black cartridges.

>>2251632
The super game boy is incompatible with the game boy colour. Black carts (and pokemon gold/silver) will run, but not with the GBC colours.

>>2251658
Thought so, thanks!

>>2236082
so painting a shell a different color is more impressive than installing a backlit screen, not designed for the og gba, into a og gba?

but painting in purely aesthetics... the ags-101 mod gives it new purpose and functionality.

i just got another ags-101 off ebay for 20 bucks that i'll swap into an og gba for my brother

What a stand-up guy, making reproduction Earthbounds and probably listing them on ebay as the real thing.

>>2251729

Here's my collection. The original GB needs some work (a third of the screen doesn't work).

>>2251785

Also missing - Virtual Boy with 7 games.

>>2226507

Mine (>>2251785) is also Pokemon-free.

When the local game shop wants $25+ each without battery replacement, I pass.

>>2251791
ebay?

What magnifier glass for DMG or pocket do you recommend guys ? I need one..

>>2251792

ebay + pokemon = madness...

>>2251786
It's a Game Boy Collection thread, so nah, it's not missing. Nice epeen though

>>2251792

Not really big on eBay purchases. Also starting to cut back on my retro purchases in general. I feel like I've got most of the games I was looking for in the various systems I collect. Also, prices (at least locally) are climbing out of my comfort zone. That being said, I stand to make a decent amount if I ever sell off (considering I did most of my purchases when NES and GameBoy were dirt cheap)

I never really got into Pokemon.

>>2251795
The Light Max works far better than I ever thought it would and it is easy and cheap to get.

It's kinda hilarious how there are so many Eva games out there yet so little that actually involve piloting an Eva to fight Angels.

>>2252526
>implying that is what the show is about

>>2252530
Yeah no shit but the fight scenes seem like something they'd make the most video games out of. It's not like mahjong or a rhythm game is any closer.

>>2252536
If the King of the Monsters get's a chess like game so should Evangelion!

Jokes aside I never played an Eva game and have no idea what the Game Boy games are like.

>>2252539
A lot of them just feel like things with an Eva theme slapped on top for easy otaku money, very few of them actually have you do shit from the show.

But Dragonball and probably any other big franchise suffered from the same problem.

>>2225249

Ahaha, no way! I remember when my classmate got his hands on this in middle school. Apparently he had "pre-ordered" it (presumably from a ching chong china ebay store) and he walked around gloating about how it was exclusive and super rare and all. I used to look over his shoulder when he played it and smother him with questions. Man I was sooo jelly. Joke was on him, though, huh?

>>2252896
That is pretty cute.

All Jade and Diamond are is a hacked and translated version of Keitai Denjuu Telefang 1 with a Pokemon cover slapped on. Not even bad games they just have nothing to do with Pokemon.

What is this? I thought there was only a GBA GTA game?

>>2237548
Thanks for the advice, the working ones are expensive as fuck.

>>2237515
You opinion.
But I have always wanted a robot that can play games.

Just bought these. They can get pretty expensive for nothing but a piece of plastic.

Did acually every game come in a plastic case?
I can't even remember. I know Tetris and F1 Race did at least.

If so how come so many games miss the cases? Or did they later stop including them?

Would only make sense if Nintendo was selling the cases on their own but I think they never did, did they?

>>2256057
I think they were always included, but they were sold separately too. They even came in colors. I'll snap a picture later.

>>2256174
Were the colored ones from Nintendo though?
I know 3rd parties sold the cases separately.
>I think they were always included
Damn where the hell did they all go, feels like 2/3 of the games are missing them.

>>2256181
They were licensed by Nintendo, though not necessarily manufactured by them. The front of the cases are identical to the clear Nintendo cases. The back is close, down to the Nintendo logo, but the clear cases say "Made in Japan" while the colored cases say nothing on the back. The INSIDE of the colored cases are branded "PRIDE Made in Mexico."

I'm certain they were licensed, though. I remember seeing them and assuming they must be third party but was surprised to see "official Nintendo" branding on the packaging. Before anyone calls bootleg, these were purchased in the 90's in a department store.

>>2256241
Thanks doc

>>2256241
>They were licensed by Nintendo
>The back is close, down to the Nintendo logo


I had no idea, thanks m8.
I only have 2 non Nintendo game cases, a clear one that is a knock off that looks like a real one except it is a lot more stiff and misses the Nintendo logo and Made in Japan labeling. The other one is a red Isy Pac, that works well but probably wasn't licenced by Nintendo since the logo is missing on that one too.

I always thought all the colored ones were knock offs/unlicensed and it is great to know that that is not the case. Still need about 10 more to have all my games in cases.

Sorry for the shitty image quality, didn't have my camera at hand.

But would the GBC take advantage of the 13 colors implemented into Game Pak games and display them like the Super Game Boy? Or would it be random like with any other grey GB game?
>>2235092
After playing a bit of Kirby's Dreamland on the Game Boy I have to change the ranking a bit

Game Boy Player>Super Game Boy>Game Boy Advance SP>Game Boy Light>Game Boy Advance>Game Boy Color=Game Boy Pocket>Game Boy

I forgot how blurry the Game Boy screen get's during movement especially if you have a magnifier on it. The Color and Poket is much better in that regard.

>>2258212
>But would the GBC take advantage of the 13 colors implemented into Game Pak games and display them like the Super Game Boy? Or would it be random like with any other grey GB game?

The latter. Other than the Super Game Boy itself, Nintendo never implemented SGB features in any other iteration of anything, ever. A bit of a letdown, especially on games that were built around it (Donkey Kong 94).

>>2241890
lmao, what is even the point of all that trademark THIS IS THE PROPERTY OF THIS bs? isn't it enough to have the TM or R sign??
