WHAT AM IN FOR?
>>345065303
what is it?
It's just a gameboy advance but small.
>>345065303
Comfy portable gaming.
>>345065303
Buy an EZ Flash IV and you got the best travel gaming system of all time
>>345065303
The best way to play GBA games, now just buy a flashcart.
>>345065303
cum on it
GBA games running at their proper resolution on a decent screen
then you realize that the proper resolution is fucking tiny
>>345065303
It's got a really nice screen but it's very very tiny. I love mine though.
Sucks you can't play GB/GBC games though
>>345065303
Where are the L and R buttons?
>>345065303
>Micro
A really tiny screen and bad speakers.
>>345065634
On the shoulders, have you never seen one IRL?
>>345065363
A broken in half ds
>>345065303
The Gameboy Micro?
Pros
> Swappable faceplates - protects screen from scratches and the like.
> Adjustable brightness.
> Compact - fits well in your pocket.
> Has a headphone jack unlike the SP.
> Better battery life.
Cons
> Can only play GBA titles.
> Compact IO renders previous hardware unusable (wifi adapter, connectivity cables, etc).
> Screen is really small - harder to read dialogue in most cases.
I still have mine.
so I have a list of games I want to get for this

i don't really care OP, just
>>345065303
>WHAT AM IN FOR?
absolute frustration with the a and b button placement for games that require you to have both buttons on your thumb at once like super mario world
have fun
>>345066458
not enough SRW OG out of 10
>>345066458
>no Warioware Twisted
Done fucked up, senpai.
I really liked the dingoo a320 for it's form factor and the emulation it could do. It's a little larger but I like it.
>>345065303
I got the 20th anniversary edition and I love it, this + a gameboy SP and you're pretty much set in choosing between screen size vs portability.
>>345065447
This. I have one and it works wonderfully, you can even emulate NES, older gameboy version games and such.
>>345065303
>WHAT AM IN FOR?
late night google searching for obscure threads on shitty forums about firmware and emulators with removed links and uncertain version numbers, strange fucking wikia like sites and shit, eventually downloading some shit in another language from some mediafire knockoff youve never heard of, all while having your adblocker overheat trying to stop the hundreds of ads from opening tabs and throwing javascript alerts
then to the rom sites which are just as fucking terrible, or to torrenting if your into that shit, just to have your isp tell you nintendo is bugging them to tell you to fuck off
your better off throwing it in the trash and go back to whatever you were playing before
>>345067754
sorry i thought it was a dingoo
this post is about dingoos
>>345067754
>>345067940
is a dingoo really that bad like you say?
>>345066773
personally I think the EZF4 is a pain in the ass. I'm more willing to give the everdrive a shot even if it is 2.5 times more expensive.
>>345065303
>Tiny as fuck screen
>Handcramp like a motherfucker
Why fucking even bother? Shits literally an overpriced system for ants.
what's the best emulator device to get?
>>345066458
Pick up Boktai
>>345068559
Objectively best? Pandora, good luck ever finding one.
Next best is either a Dingoo A320 (are they still being made?) or just buy a used PSP for $35 and softmod it. Takes 5 minutes.
>>345068262
yes
take everything from the sketchy world of emulation, cram it into a piece of chink plastic that only so many people have heard of, with even less actually working with them, with different models so people moved on the new ones and dropped support for the old ones, with no solid official support from whatever foreign country made them, have it support only specific emulators, and give it a shit battery life
its not worth it. i got one as a gift from someone from fucking thinkgeek. what a load of shit
>>345065303
I love my micro, and I'm sure you will yours, OP.
>>345065303
a small gameboy
It's great for most games but kinda awkward for games like Mega Man Zero where you have to press many buttons quickly and at the same time because of the size.
>>345068559
PSP is a good cheap one, they can be had for dirt cheap now
GPD stuff is good too, the XD has a 3DS XL formfactor but has actual hardware in it, you can emulate PSP shit on there, it's pretty powerful
Do people really like this better than the SP?
>>345069454
People actually paid money to have a smaller gaming experience
They actually game Nintendo cold, hard cash to fuck their console up.
>>345068783
>>345069359
a psp is a little to bulky for my tastes
>>345065303
>GB:Micro
I hope you didn't pay much for it.
>>345069454
The SP feels more cramped to me somehow and I don't how it's R/L buttons feel. I don't like Micro either, though.
Rather have an OG Advance with a backlight, but the backlights are retarded expensive now so I guess that's not happening.
>>345068559
I love my GPD device, it's like a chink copy of the 3ds and can play games all the way up to Dreamcast and soon PS2
>>345070065
>GDP
Game Ding Pong?
>>345065303
this was my first ever gaming device i think i still have it somewhere. 8/10 pathetically small but still many memories.
>>345070065
unfortunate that you cant emulate ds games
>>345070065
I also have this little guy, pretty much a game boy micro but plays sness and other older games too.
So tell me anons, how hard is it to see the screen on GB Micro?
I've been using gba4ios on my phone to emulate gba games and its been working but the controls are hard sometimes (i.e. chain of memories was a fucking nightmare due to its heavy reliance on the L and R buttons). So I'm used to an iphone sized gba screen. Would a GB Micro just feel like a downgrade?
>>345070636
>Would a GB Micro just feel like a downgrade?
obviously my guy
it's not hard at all to see it's just small
>>345070534
Yeah you can. I don't see why you couldn't
>>345070754
and how would the touch screen work on a GPD
>>345070539
i'll probably try to get this, but can't find anything reasonably priced

>>345068559
I wish the scene for this thing wasn't pretty much dead beyond five or so guys, because it's really good for GBA/SNES/etc emulation.
>>345071512
Theres one on ebay right now for 80 bucks
>>345066458
Fire emblem 6 english patch, along with 7 and 8
Mother 1 and 2 but not 3?
Advance wars 1 and 2
Sonic Advance was pretty alright, not as good as the genesis games, there's 3 of them
Now can you explain to me why you typed CastleKino and not Castlevania?
>>345071702
I mean, I like it and I don't regret buying it, but at its price point you're better off spending your money on >>345070065 for relatively not much more.
>>345065303

Disappointment
>>345065303
The micro is great for the vanilla GBA experience, but if you
>wanted to use the GC link cable
>wanted to link to other GBA systems
>wanted to play GBC games
>have ham hands
then you're SOL because the micro doesn't support any of that. On the other hand the screen is very bright and the form factor and design are nice and comfy.
>>345065303
Dissapointment.
SP is waaay fucking better.
>>345066458
harmony of dissonance and all GBA FPSes are crapola
>no Metroid
nigga
Eye strain due to how tiny the screens are, cramped hand placement due to how small everything is, and covers that scratch from you breathing. Seriously, I have never once placed my Micro cover down on anything and it somehow has gashes in every cover. I barely even touch the thing.
>>345066458
Advance Wars 2
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror
>>345071702
I have one of these too. Its pretty nifty but my analog nub is shitting itself for no rhyme or reason. I can't use it or it spazs out like crazy.
>>345071875
So you have had both? Is it worth the upgrade? I really wanna play goemon and musashi on it. Where did you get yours?
>>345072371
I don't own a GPD, I've just been assuming so based on how people have been talking about it.
Plus I assume it'd have a more active community. The GCW seems to be a victim of poor timing, coming out when everybody had moved on to Android.
>>345066458
Get Sonic Advance 1, 2, and 3 also pick up Kirby Amazing Mirror.
>>345065506
>proper resolution
>smaller than the original gba
yeah, naw, you're retarded
>>345072614
Screen size and screen resolution are not the same thing.
>>345072527
Ah thanks. Other than the dpad its really good especially for older RPGs. Iactually liked using the analog nub. Kinda mad its busted now.
>>345072042
With Dolphin having VBA-M support, there's not much reason for the GC link cable to exist, and there's nobody around to even warrant having a GBA link unless you live in 3rd world countries that have things similar to LAN parties. I'm fairly certian flashcarts can play GB and GBC games if not out of the box, then by kernel updates or an emulator placed onto the MicroSD card
>>345069772
PSP GO is the dankest shit ever son
Only issue is max 32gb storage (16 built in) but with CSO compression you can fit like 15 or so games and a ton of ROMs
>>345066458
Get Megaman & Bass too.
>>345070065
what game is that on the right?
>>345065303
Good times. Lots of fun exclusive games and surprises.
Both Metroid games were great. The Mario ports are competent. And it's got fun SNES ports and remixed titles.
And you've got surprising games like this that did 3D,

So from what I've seen nobody's mentioned this.
The battery is pretty trash.
>>345065303
Unreadable text and uncomfortable shoulder buttons. Really neat solid system though, try metroid zero mission on it.
>>345075035
>try metroid zero mission on it.
That feel when someone recommends my favorite game of all time. Feels good maayne.
>>345075320
That's not fusion
Th best emulation device is the one you have with you all the time. And has fucking buttons. Behold.
>>345065303
>WHAT AM IN FOR?
Not being able to see what the fuck you're playing.
>>345065363
It's the shitty version of the GBA that came out after the GBA SP and DS that everyone forgot about.
>>345068559
GPD XD. It's Android so emulation is easy as fuck to get up and running, and support isn't going to dry up unlike for systems like the Dingoo
>>345071129
By using the touch screen, dumbass.
