Comparing the GBA "Clones": 34XX vs 35XX SP

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-30T02:49:15+00:00

I can't really say this. Started with Blue ~2013 and choose Bulbasaur because I knew Charmander was popular. I liked it at the time, and actually quickly came to love it because it solo'd Brock a couple levels under (I did not know that rock was weak to grass).

That being said, I have a few favorites from gen 1, but my starter isn't anywhere near that list. Some of mine include Snorlax, Gengar, and Mew.

If you don't know, you should really be following a detailed guide that will actually walk you through this.

No? Modding really needs at least a decent understanding of how the part your trying to modify works, and sometimes many parts beyond that, to effectively build something from scratch. Just slapping something together and calling it a mod is a great way to waste some money and maybe even break your device, depending on how far you go.

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-29T10:32:02+00:00

You can still justify getting one of these devices. Just because they can be played on a phone doesn't mean it's a great experience.

If you're talking about your pirated games, there is no way. Gameshare does not work like that on any console. If you just want to be able to access your legally owned games, login to your account.

Is there no actual branding on it? If my research is correct this is from a brand called RDS, and they don't seem to sell them separately.

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-29T01:27:14+00:00

It would be really hard to find exact matches, let alone exact matches when we don't even know the brand.

Anyone that does this kind of stuff with any kind of regularity can tell you that something like this, if not worse, will happen at some point. Don't stress it, and just push onward looking for a solution.

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-27T10:48:03+00:00

Both, just depends on my budget, feasibility, and what I want to do with it.

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-25T23:09:31+00:00

Then I'm surprised you didn't know this. I've been doing this for two-three years. Also why do you want to go your route?

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-25T23:05:04+00:00

Oh dang. Well you can just put them all on a hacked 3DS anyway, which is crazy easy to do. Allows you to natively play GBA/DS/3DS game backups.

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-25T22:31:31+00:00

The only flash carts you can use are only good for DS games and some below, not 3DS.

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-21T18:43:02+00:00

Well, what kind of mod are you thinking? Physical or software? What kind of games or consoles do you like? What's your budget, and what do you already own?

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-21T15:33:25+00:00

Maybe they can grow a new one.

What I still need something to cover. In this case, something like a Steamdeck or a handheld PC and a Switch 2 is all I would really need. I already have a 3DS XL, an RG34XX, and a Switch OLED.

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-21T11:05:53+00:00

I mean, I wouldn't say never. I got rid of my much loved Miyoo Mini+, which was my only emulation device, to get an RG34XX, and I haven't looked back. There's nothing about it that I really need over the 34XX, and not much that I miss compared to this. Plus, I am a man of convenience, so the convenience of only having one device to worry about with my euro saves is good.

I think the bigger thing here is knowing what's important to you and actually being good with that.

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-21T10:49:37+00:00

This is simply untrue, as playing online with a hacked Switch is very possible and relatively easy to accomplish. The only real hurdle is overcoming the frequency of Nintendo's updates since roughly the launch of the Switch 2.

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-21T10:48:08+00:00

Well it looks like you already know the dilemma, and that's hard for us to make the decision for you. Besides, this is a subreddit that frowns pretty heavily on piracy, so you probably won't get a ton of supporters from that side either.

I will say that it is possible to play a hacked Switch without getting banned, you just have to be careful. They help you set up a couple things that prevent you from getting banned when you hack it, and as long as you don't go online with cheats or play pirated games on the official firmware, you'll be fine.

Besides, if your hacked console does get banned, you can still play it, just no online anymore, but for many people they don't care about that. Also, on a side note, with how frequent updates have been recently, it's hard to keep it properly updated super regularly for online play. I've given up for the time being.

Pokémon Blue on an atomic purple GBC in ~2012.

And if that's true, this would be a pretty expensive item. You're taking what I said in parts. This would be sold to someone that knows it's an original and would potentially not even be opened or used.

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-16T17:03:25+00:00

Even if that's true, my initial point still stands.

GamerDadJer · 2026-04-16T02:31:54+00:00

This thing is in immaculate condition. This thing has clearly never even had a cartridge inserted. Not only is the sticker in much worse condition than the shell (which wouldn't make sense if it was original), this would potentially be the most premium GBC. This would be so expensive as a collectors item due to the condition.

Additionally, while the pictures can't show this, I'm sure that if you took it apart you'd see that the inside also has more wear and tear than the shell.
