Is this a good thing to use while outside or on a long road trip? Or to use out in public?
>>344621009
If you have tiny jap hands, yeah.
Download an gba emulator on ur phone, that way ppl will think ur just talking to other humans instead of being autistic
>>344621009
I have a micro with ~200 games on an EZIV that I take with me everywhere. I've had people ask me if it's an mp3 player before, it's pretty discrete. If you're planning on playing games that are not turn based, its way better than a phone emulator.
>>344621703
>touch screen controls
This gave me finger cancer.
Why the fuck is /v/ the only place that's self-conscious about whether or not others see you using a handheld
>Le epic meme bread XDDD
Somebody on /v/ actually PLAYING games? What sorcery is this? ;^)
I carry mine with me every once in a while because it's extremely small. It's just really fucking nifty. Love the design on it
I guess but a DS lite would do the same shit and more.
>>344621009
I can't imagine playing anything on something so small. I don't even like playing on my 3DS XL very much.
>look up game boy micros out of curiosity
>they go for more than current gen hardware
>>344622109
Ironic shitposting is still ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
>>344622123
Kinda this. I bought it purely as a novelty. Never use it though.
>>344622289
Yeah, regular 3DSs are tiny as fuck, I can't imagine using a micro
>>344621009
Not sure if it's an improvement if it's less practical.
The screen LITERALLY get smaller wtf
>>344622418
quentin pls go
>>344622302
Most Micros are 100 bucks, give or take 20. The only ludicrously expensive ones are the player 2 club nintendo micro, and the mother 3 micro
Only if it's this version.
>>344622643
I got a spare $100, got any recommendations on which one to look into?
>>344621009
Modded GBA phat with an AGS-101 screen is better. The Micro isn't a bad choice though.
>>344623106
Green and famicom are two micros I love at that price point. The classic black and silver ones go for less if those two don't do it for you.
>>344623216
>That feel when the 3DS doesn't have a GBA slot, and the only GBA games ever released for it as VC games were part of a one-time only thing
>>344621009
>Or to use out in public?
No one's going to care about you playing Pokemon in public. Only other autistic nerds that are weird enough to know what a GB Micro is will care even the slightest bit one way or the other. Normalfags will just think it's a phone anyway.
>>344622105
Paranoid, overly self-conscious people that may actually have mental issues. Kind of like that show watamote or whatever it's called.
>>344621009
when i was a kid i gave my cousin my pokemon emerald game, 10 years later he plays it on his gameboy micro, its good OP, battery life on his is sucky though, mabye because as time goes on overall battery life depleets
its a nice little console to have if you have the games for it OP
>>344622105
>>344623216
I've been contemplating getting one of these but the only issue is spending on batteries.
Do you just buy a fuckton of batteries or what?
>>344623628
That's when I bought a used GBA SP-101 and a flashcart
Pretty good purchase so far
>>344622089
If you ignore the existence of controllers and gamepads you can put your phone on that basically turns your phone into a beast handheld, then you a hoe
>>344623216
I tried modding the same way...
Lost two good 101 GBAs in the process with no end result.
I'm really bad at it. :(
>>344623802
They make rechargeable batteries in every format you could possibly imagine.
>>344623878
>ppl will think ur just talking to other humans instead of being autistic
>while using a gamepad hooked up to your phone
>>344623802
Costco sells a huge pack of them for like $25.
>>344623905
Last time I checked rechargeable batteries are absolute fucking garbage. I bought a pair a while back and they just never charged past the first time.
>>344623802
I hear the backlight mod actually improves battery life since the original screen is so shitty.
>>344624062
I've been using rechargeable AA's for well over a decade. Don't know what happened in your case my man.
I want this thing to be real, decently sized, and have a second circle pad. Is that so much to ask for Nintendo?
Knowing them they're just gonna slap some shit gimmick and cripple it (if it even goes past the patent stage)
>>344621995
How good is the EZ Flash IV. Krikzz just announced his GBA Everdrive and i consider buying one along with a good GBA.
>>344624062
What, did you like get some cheap, shitty, no-name batteries or something?
>>344624491
Honestly I got em' for Christmas. So they were more than likely just cheap knock-offs
>>344621009
I use mine regularily, people think it's just a smartphone, they won't see the difference except from up close.
>>344623891
Sorry to hear that. I had an modded gbc with Frontlight support but you need to apply LOCA so that you can actuyally see anything. After applying and reassembling my screen has some very awful looking areas at the corner.
Thats the reason why i would probably just buy a premedded one.
>>344624453
EZIV is honestly great dude. It's not exactly drag and drop (you need to patch most roms to save right), but it has cool theme options and pretty much 100% compatibility.
Everdrive has some advantages over EZIV (Lower power consumption, real time clock, ability to play 32 MB roms without flashing to NOR) but it also has some disadvantages (2X the price, no theme options, way bigger than a regular gba cart)
Both are solid options, but neither is definitively better by any stretch.
>>344624453
I have one and it came with a case for the DS Lite, not sure if that means it would stick out or not on the Micro.
>>344622302
Thank god for the advent of 3D printers and other home-sized hardware production alternatives. It won't be long before you can assemble your very own handheld console, built to your own specifications, from the comfort of your home.
The Raspberry Pi Zero may just be the ideal hardware platform, when it finally goes into fucking production again, it just takes a battery, a screen, a set of buttons and a case, and you can emulate anything up to PSX and PSP.
It's the best game boy to use in public. Most people don't know what it is and think they're pretty cool when you tell them.
>>344623628
that's why you need to mod your 3DS senpai
>>344625086
And it's only $5.
there you go, the best emulation machine out there
>>344625079
Regular gba carts fit flush in the micro, and anything that fits flush into the DS lite's slot 2 won;t fit into the micro at all. You sure that that was an EZIV and not an EZ3in1?
>>344623890
Best 84.20 USD I've ever spent. I mean that sincerely.
Short of purchases like 'that cast iron can I cook everything in' I got more mileage out of this thing than I ever expected.
>smaller than psp
>lighter than psp
>better at emulation than psp
Literally thousands of hours on the thing. Too bad it's successors are all fucking trash, and too bad I can't repair my shoulder button that busted 4 years in.

>>344625272
Oh ok neat, that's kind of a bummer. I think I have its original case somewhere but for some reason I remember it sticking out.
>>344621009
At first I thought that was a DS with the top screen ripped off.
>TFW I actually have one of those and still use it for GBA games.
>>344623628
This was mostly the reason of why I hacked my 3DS.
I just don't get Nintendo's decision sometimes.
>>344625086
Yeah but it's going to be a few years before you can head over to Walmart and get a 30 dollar 3d printer.
>>344625210
how do you mod a New3DS on the most recent firmware, then?
>>344625802
Sure, but you can already have a great one for some $200 and it's only going down from that point, and print cases for all your friends and make your money back in mere days.
>>344625876
> most recent firmware
sorry m8, you should have had the foresight to hack it sooner. Right not it can only be done with a hardmod.
>>344625510
You may be right. What you posted wouldn't fit in a micro, but it might have come with another case that was slightly larger than a normal gba case. I've got one of these, and it fits perfect.
>>344624453
Reviews aren't in on the GBA Everdrive, and knowing Krikzz, there will be a better version out in like a year, but EZ Flash IV has some problems.
All games require save patching, and that patching is done by garbage software from EZ Flash. Once the battery dies (mine is 7 years old and still going, but I've heard from people who use theirs more that they die in 5 years) you can only save by soft-resetting. Battery is soldered on so it's not easy to replace. Oh and 256mb games have to be loaded to the EZ Flash IV's onboard memory, which takes an insanely long time, and you can only have one game in that memory at once.
Everdrive fixes these problems and adds Real Time Clock support so you can play Pokemon games with all features intact. But it costs a little over twice as much. If you have the money to spare get the ED. If you're on a tight budget get the EZ Flash IV.
>>344622707
I have that exact one. It's weird to hold for a long time though
>>344625086
>Raspberry Pi
lol
>>344626051 (You)
What about it?
>>344623890
>mfw this is real
HOLY FUCKING SHIT INSTABUY.
>>344626649
Long discontinued.
>>344626948
>implying I can't buy on eBay/the ecrater link I found
>>344626028
Any word on if the GBA everdrive has the ability to reset to loader like you can on EZIV?
>>344621009
It's very good for public play. Few will even realize you're playing videogames.
The screen is the best handheld screen of all time as well.
>>344627081
Not sure. I think so. It has upgradeable firmware so if it's not currently a feature, I can see it being added.
>>344627017
>buying a chinkshit emulator from 2009
The end of the line is the 2011 Dingoo A380 (not the e version, which can't run linux cfw).
For the most part chinkshit has moved on to android based junk.
The a320 was really a perfect storm of wide hardware availability, software compatibility, and community interest. Suddenly linux was ported to it and suddenly a whole bunch of people were releasing emulators that were more and more optimized by the week. These days the community is essentially dead (outside of the dead on arrival GCW zero, an attempt at creating successor hardware, which can't even deliver on basic functionality like otg controller support, three years later).
It was really neat to be a part of, but I really don't think you should hop on a dead horse.
I just bought this SP AGS-101 in a terrible condition, though, the screen is perfectly fine, im going to paint it and already ordered a Supercard.
Anyone have good models to paint my SP? I was thinking on navy blue or black because scratches are less visible.
Pic related.
I'm thinking about getting a new 3ds
Worth it for shitting around in monsterhunter with a friend?
>>344629217
You probably want some games other than monhun, but yeah.
I got this little thing for emulation and its pretty great if you want an alternative.
>>344629217
Get one while you can still mod them easily.
>>344629986
I didn't know G-Police made a handheld
>>344627779
what other chinkshit emulator can I buy to play my SNES/nes/gba games? it has to be around the same size as that mini thing.
Man just buy it already, you've been making these threads for ages.
>>344630263
I love it for emulation compared to the normal 3ds.
>>344623976
>be autistic on keeping to look like a normalfag
>be autistic on keeping gaming on phones comfortable
We never win.
>>344621009
just get a ds lite, cut off top screen so its just the bottom one, put gb, gbc, gba, nes, snes, and whatever games in it and play those on the bottom screen
>>344624383
I like this. Would also be nice to have phone functions too and the screen is a touchscreen.
No game cartridges, so they can avoid needing to be censored by ESRB or CERO. Everything's digital right from Japan's servers.
All powerful battery with 72 hr battery life per charge, bluetooth and WiFi functions.
But we'll lose DS-3DS backwards compatibility. Which is sad.
>>344631382
It actually works??
>>344633895
Yeah, tho she's emulation on the DS is wank. Plus that picture has a custom shell.
Just easier to buy a gba. Plus the buttons on the DS are awkward to play GBA games on.
