Reminder that the best GBA flash card sticks out of your Micro like a fucking tumor.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 1 19:22:09 2017 No.3711695 The same happens with GB/GBC carts on the GBA. Anyway, I love my Mother 3 model Micro and I love playing my GBA games on it, sadly I don't have a flashcart though, but still not retro.

The micro has a really sharp, nitid screen though. Arguably better than the SP-101 due to more pixel density, although I could see how some people might be bothered due to the size, GBA games look splendid on Micro.
The D-pad is also really great, feels better than regular GBA/SP one.

It's okay to use the Micro, although yeah, they have become to expensive lately that it might be better to not use it at all to avoid breaking it or something, although they seem to be very sturdy.

>>3711773
The Micro has no backwards compatibility with GameBoy or GameBoy Color games, can't use the e-reader or any GB/GBC accessories, and requires adapters to use GBA accessories.

If pixel density is everything, why don't you play or emulate at a smaller screen size? The Micro has a 2 inch screen. Why not play on a 1 inch screen for twice the pixel density?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 2 00:19:48 2017 No.3712161 >>3711940 Huh? The one with less vivid colors is the regular GBA and the regular SP. Micro and SP-101 have really vivid colors.

I bought a Micro because it was on sale at the time. I felt awful buyer's remorse afterwards. A decade later, I feel much, much better about it.
I'm still torn between the Micro and the SP-101, but it's still a worthwhile item in my collection.

What flashcart is that btw? I have an old Supercard MiniSD (how is regular SD still alive but mini isn't?) with a dead battery. It can still do realtime saves though so it's not useless.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 2 09:54:57 2017 No.3712776 >>3712520 The battery should only be for clock functions in games that support it, if you use the L+Select+[?] command to do a regular save (as opposed to whatever button combo is RTS) it should write it to the SD card.

- The AGS-101 screen has better viewing angles than the Micro
- D-pad is too small
- GBA isn't known for its sound chip; original has one anyway
- Uncomfortable as shit
- Still uncomfortable as shit
- Still uncomfortable as hell

Haha yeah I know, there are people who perform mods to get OG gameboys with backlight though, but I personally never had too much trouble, but yeah you need an external light source, can't play in pitch darkness.

If that's not your problem and you still can't see shit, get a pair of glasses.

I see this thread is still up, and was hoping /v/ would guide my hips. I am getting in that Everdrive in OP. So, uh, now that supposedly homebrew is made easy, what now? What do I get?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 3 14:25:21 2017 No.3715147 >>3714668 Nice I have an identical hardware setup except spice and mod chip. Anyways if you're looking to play GBA on that, get the GB Interface .DOL and put it on an SD and load it up. Easy.
