    A suggestion to anyone in the GBA "mod" business

    So you could do the same thing as suggested with the SP idea - a button pcb overlay over the regular pcb to set button placement wider to accommodate screen. The larger screen would also be above the pcb. The case would end up being perhaps 5mm thicker would be my guess. This too would look...

    A suggestion to anyone in the GBA "mod" business

    This is a brilliant idea. I have big hands, but still am ok playing my GBA SP. Still, I feel that there is a market for this. My fingers do get sore sometimes when I'm playing an intense game. A larger and more comfortable form factor for our giant man hands is preferable to me too sometimes. I...

    Misc The GBA era is so classic,but talking about GBA in 2024 seems outdated?

    I'm 46, and for me the GBA still feels like a modern handheld. I think it still has potential. It's homebrew scene is getting stronger and will grow. I modded one of my SPs and I love it. Nice sharp and bright screen. I could repeat many good points said in this thread. I guarantee I'll be...

    What phone do you own?

    I have an LG A34 flip phone that has a booting problem atm. Will fix one day soon. Current phone is a Hauwei P30 Lite spyware edition phone. Before I got it, I used an LG VX8700 flip Phone for years. I wanted to use it again and get rid of my P30, but it's CDMA and Canada got rid of all CDMA...

    Anbernic reveals the RG35XXSP, a GBA SP-inspired retro handheld

    I think the GBA SP was one of the best handheld consoles ever released. The size and clamshell design was perfect. Even now it still has so much potential. Despite that the resolution did not work well for portable versions of NES/SNES games, I actually didn't mind some of the NES Classic games...

    Microsoft hacked by Russian group, gaining access to source code repositories

    I hope that this is just one more reason to push people towards adopting Linux. MicroSoft should never be trusted. I'll never update past Windows 7. Once I can no longer use Windows 7, then I'll be fully Linux. Microsoft had its time. Let it crumble, turn to dust and blow away in the wind.

    Romhackers recreate lost media for "BS F-Zero" from scratch

    Get the SNES flashcart. The FXPAK Pro is excellent and well worth the investment. I love that I can one day play Seiken Densetsu 3 translated on my system. It's on a list of titles that I'm working through. This preserving of lost digital media is like modern day Indiana Jones. It's very cool...

    Brilliant Labs announces Frame, its next-generation of open-source AR glasses

    This tech mostly doesn't appeal to me. Probably because I'm a dinosaur and still remember what mammoth meat tasted like. (Big and stinky beasts). Since the Apple ski goggles got released, I haven't seen many users yet. Of course, very expensive. I've seen what this tech can do, but how useful is...

    Clamshell handheld gaming PCs AYANEO FLIP KB & DS begin crowdfunding campaign

    I mean, the Flip is a cool device, but I don't know if the tiny keyboard is a good feature for these small devices.

    Earthbound Is #OverRated, But Mother 3 Is Better

    I found both Mother 2 - Earthbound and Mother 3 were awesome in their own way. Like separate flavours. There are things I love about Earthbound, but I loved certain elements in Mother 3 also too. Both games are so good, that if there was a Mother 4 coming with 16-bit graphics, I'd get very...

    The Video Game History Foundation has uncovered never before seen Sonic 2 beta content

    Sonic 2 has a special place with me. I was 16 when I got a Genesis for Christmas and finally after over a decade of begging parents to let me have a game console I got one. Sonic 2 came with it. I think it was around the same time that Sonic SatAM was on tv. That entrenched me even more into...

    Earthbound Is #OverRated, But Mother 3 Is Better

    I think due to being one of the top 2 most expensive cartridges (other being Chrono Trigger) as per my experience/observation. Also it had a cult following before the Mother 1 - Earthbound Zero cart was found. It is a good game. I enjoyed the first half immensely. There's something about feeling...

    Valve celebrates Half-Life's 25th Anniversary offering Half-Life 1 for free with brand new content and other discounts on Steam

    I wonder if Valve is fucking with us again. I am happy for this.. somewhat. Alhough as @Latiodile has pointed out - lots of bugs, which means rushed update. So is it then to hype the franchise once more? Or is this it? I swear, if at least Ep 3 doesn't come out and this is it.. yet again.. I'm...

    ROM Hack "Dr. Mario" for the GameBoy gets a colour remaster romhack by Marc Robledo featuring new playable characters

    Thank you for this bit of news. I really appreciate the hard work these romhackers do. There is always a special place for the original games, but it is nice to have colorized versions as well. GBC has always been that marriage of NES and Gameboy, so the more DX games the merrier.

    John Carmack and John Romero will celebrate Doom's 30th Anniversary together in a special stream "To Hell and Back"

    Ho ho, that's a stream I'm not going to miss. I was 15 when Doom came out 800 years ago. Remember playing it on the 486s in the school computer room. We had a cool computer teacher who would let us install and play games so long as no one snitched. Good times. The games we played were Doom 1 and...

    Sonic Hacking Contest 2023 officially starts off its contest week

    Bingo! If Quake (I accidentally typed Quank.. and had to mention that because it's hilarious) and Half Life had not had mods, many good popular games would not have existed. They'd be happy memories with small communities. I've seen communities around other old games shrink to a handful. Of...

    Analogue 3D - an FPGA based reimagining of the N64 announced

    Depending on the console's capability, once this is out and there is CFW for it, I'm sure there will be a third party out there who might just make cart adapters, so that you could play all of the above console games on the system. Might even have a way of playing GameCube games as well. That...

    Why all hate NFTs?

    That's a good way to make money. Not easy though. I tried selling on Ebay a few times and found their fees way out of bounds. Not to mention, living in Canada, to ship a simple book across the country cost my buyers $30 CAD just to have it priority shipped. I'm sure they have reduced seller fees...
