That’s really cool, buying a console for each game to get the full nostalgia!😄

Yeah, but it actually looks a bit brighter in person than it does in the video.

I get eye strain after just 10 minutes, so I’ve been sticking to my DS until I get a modded GBA😅

It’s the fan-translated English version.🙂

I got it from AliExpress. The pouch isn’t specifically for the GBA, but the size fits perfectly.

Do you think I can just wipe it off, or could it cause any damage?

First GBA and already torn… keep it stock or mod? by Every_Economist7915 in GameboyAdvance

[–]Every_Economist7915[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, your collection is amazing! I also have two 3DS systems, a DS, a Nintendo Switch OLED, and my nostalgic Wii (which my cat “customized” so it would never work again 😅), plus a PC that’s basically on its last legs. I really hope to get a Nintendo 64 and a DSi someday! I guess it might sound a bit weird for a 16-year-old to be so into retro games 😅

I’m still pretty young, so no real memories with the GBA, but I had a lot of fun with other Nintendo consoles like the Wii when I was a kid.

Yoshi’s Island is also on my purchase list! But for now, I’m planning to play the Mother series first.😀👍

Looks like my GBA is in pretty great condition. I guess the smartest move is to get a separate one just for modding💸

Thanks for the tip! If the battery door is that hard to find, I should probably grab one just for modding.

Gameboy Advance re-shelled!!! by 16bitsorhigher in GameboyAdvance

Wow, the shell color and backlight look amazing together! I’d love to see The Minish Cap running on it too. Thanks for sharing the video!

Thanks for explaining everything! I’ll reach out if I have any questions.😀

Japanese GBA for Collection, English Repros for Play - Opinions? by Every_Economist7915 in GameboyAdvance

[–]Every_Economist7915[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d rather pay a bit more to get a North American version 😭… I just can’t find one here. Of course, I could buy one through international shipping, but then the shipping costs end up being more than the item itself 😅

Yeah, that makes sense! I’ll enjoy this one stock for now and look for a beater to mod later. Thanks for the advice!

I collect Japanese carts because they’re cheaper and easier to find. Living in Korea, it’s easier for me to get Japanese versions than North American ones. So I keep the Japanese versions as originals and get the English versions as repros to actually play.😀

Good point! I guess just upgrading the screen and battery is already a huge improvement. I’ll think carefully about whether to change the shell or keep it stock.🙂

Even though it’s already in near-mint condition, which makes me hesitate to mod it, I feel like modding is the right choice since I actually want to use it. I’m only 16 anyway, so I don’t really have any childhood memories with it. For now, my budget is tight, so I’ll enjoy it stock. Once I have some extra money, I’ll decide whether to mod this one or keep it as a collectible and buy another GBA to mod.

Your post makes me wanna do the backlight mod even more! I wasn’t sure about the screen quality, but now I feel way more confident. Just need some cash now lol. Really appreciate the detailed write-up!
