You can play Gameboy games on GBA, making GBA hardware retro, similar to asking what the best model of PS2 is to play Playstation X games on them. Not that hard to figure out, really.

Buy a Hakko 888D ($80) and solder your own batteries ($1 each in bulk).

Search "tabs CR2025" or whatever

The Hakko 888D is also good for other projects.

Also, PRACTICE SOLDERING FIRST!

It's not hard, but bad solder jobs are way to common and easily avoidable.

Practice with one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Elenco-Practical-Soldering-Project-Kit/dp/B0002LUAL6/
Or something else first.

And if you don't want to spend 80 on the Hakko, these: https://www.amazon.com/Elenco-25W-Soldering-Iron-Science/dp/B01125AV7S/
Are fairly decent.

I have a radioshack iron, been told it's garbage but it looks better than that one since it at least has some wattage controls. Are there any nice tips I can buy for it? They're set in with a philips screw, I just hope it's not a proprietary radioshack thing.

>> No.3502220

>>3502148
I don't trust myself with a soldering iron, so you can try the more ghetto method of changing batteries that I use. Get yourself a razorblade and saw away at the staples that keep the old battery fastened to the contacts. Slip in the new battery, wrap a little electrical tape around it and tah dahhhh, battery changed with no solder mess.

Not to us it isn't.

I'll give you that, the board should never have been called retro. Vague terms like that were asking for trouble. Late 70s to mid 90s. That's really what this place was always about, and as a concept those dates should never grow, nothing else should ever be included.

Playing Tetris DX right now. Considering to buy a Super Gameboy and a cart to play on the TV. Would a japanese SGB work with an american cart?

>> No.3504005

>>3503952
Yup, they're region free. Consider an SGB2, it's more accurate to the original game boy. That might not be worth double to you though, since it's mostly just about the original SGB's cpu being too fast, allowing for some minor stuttering and slightly increased sound pitch as a result (only 2.4%).

SGB is better than GBP for pre-Color games, all things considered, but the black multi-cart games (inlcluding Tetris DX) will be monochrome, even if it does get colored borders.

The last two stages on "difficulty 2" shoot up in difficulty compared to the rest of the game. Been spending way more time practicing just the last stage than I spent on the previous 9 (5+4).
