What went right?
>>341526742
The much better sequel. And if you didn't get the trible one get the fuck out of my face.
>>341526742

Fuck ags-001
No competition.
>>341527159
I got the green one. Am I sill cool?
>>341526742
Buttons on the original gba were the best imo, but sp101 was the way to go.
>>341527159
>Tribal
Edgy faggot detected. Unsheathed your katana yet?
>>341526742
this was the best one. it fits the hands the best. SP was too narrow and micro was just too small. i don't even have big hands. it's too bad there was no backlight
>>341527159
SP was a pile of garbage. Only valuable thing it added was a lit screen, and the screen was only properly lit in the second model of the SP. Everything else was inferior to the original GBA.
SNES ports
>>341529717
Also the NES ones were pretty good too
>>341527159
Original GBA with a modded in backlit screen > SP

Feels bad man.
>>341530192
HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOW DOES SOMEONE FUCK UP THEIR FINGER SO BADLY?
how much are these modded ones, usually?
>>341530638
next to nothing since its such an easy mod
I don't have one myself but I think you can even just swap out the screen of an SP and it'll work
>>341529708
>hating on clamshell, THE best and defining way to make a portable system
kill yourself faggot, I bet you use your greasy, cheetos-covered thumbs on touchscreens, too.
>>341530819
Why is it over 100 dollars on ebay?
>>341531180
The clamshell design came at the cost of good face buttons, good shoulder buttons, a good D-pad, a headphone jack, and overall comfort.
There's also the fact that Nintendo portables with clamshell designs are known to have flimsy hinges.
Boys, please.
>>341526742
Good games that played fast, no 3D shit or touch/motion gimmicks, developers focusing on art style and gameplay rather than graphic quality and social integration.
>>341531628
>1 inch screen
No thanks.
>>341531463
Face and shoulder, headphone jack, yes, D-pad, objectively wrong. Thinner Dpads are better than thicker ones.
>>341533464
The SP D-pad was complete shit. It's only useful for navigating menus in turn-based RPGs. Any serious use causes blisters.
>>341530819
What about the battery life?
>>341534585
>serious use causes blisters
What kind of pussy are you?
>>341536078
I was exaggerating, but using the d-pad on the SP for an extended period of time is painful because it's tiny and has hard edges.
It's awful if you want to play an action game and need to move your thumb around quickly.
>>341536229
Do you have newborn baby hands?
>>341536413
No, I have man hands, which is why the tiny-ass SP is such an uncomfortable piece of shit while the original GBA is more comfortable.
>>341526742
It was a portable SNES. And then >>341527159 happened and it was the perfect machine for portable vidya at the time.

GBA had a goldmine of good games, especially if you were a fan of RPGs.
>>341526742
Golden Sun
>>341526742
Nothing. It was a shovelware and ports system. The shoulder buttons broke off and the d-pad dug into your fingers.
Thank god gba emulation became a thing relatively fast
>>341526742
Mine was the pokemon gold edition and had a good screen.
I inherited a glacier one and god damn that thing had a shit screen, couldn't see anything on it.
Later I wound up buying a shitload more and getting the SPs.

Anon why are you doing algebra homework on your gba
>>341545732
makes me pissed my younger self sold all that shit, makes me madder now that the disk alone for that player is like 50 bucks.
Lots of third party support. Lots of software in general.
>>341547206
I just picked up the player and the disk for $40 off ofreddit.com/r/gamesale
Just have to check stuff like that and ebay for a good deal often.
>>341546997
Because the graphing calculator for gba is the best calculator I have access to.
>>341548530
That's really sad.
You know there's always graphing calcular emulators like wabbit right?
>>341548759
Yeah but if I'm on a computer I might as well use wolfram. Graphing calculator advance is honestly great anon, you should try it out
