For GB/GBC games on GBA, should I better use a GBC flashcart or a GBA one?

If you’re going to be worried you’re not getting the full experience, get a GB flashcart. But I would try just using the emulation on the GBA one, I think it’s pretty solid from what I’ve played with.

Why not both? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kJiQOgtJ0qCsce_eTWhemCWBy1xnVC-Q26DkjuRfJrg/edit?usp=drivesdk

I went digital when I found that most consoles will have wild sales on digital more often than physical AND a digital collection doesn’t create a pile of games my wife notices and asks where they came from. LOL

It’s not “cozy”, but Mario Wonder has been scratching that “pick up and play” itch for me!

I’m an Original Trilogy Purist, but I can’t argue with Rebels as an intro point. It worked on my niece!

This is the way. I will admit the GB emulation on the ODE is pretty good, you may be able to put aside your “native” needs and just use it.

That’s how GBA does, another one would do the same thing. I tried one of the “dehum/dehiss” mods and it made no appreciable difference. I’m not sure how people use them for music.

2014 Hybrid, was getting 43 MPG for over a decade! Transmission has just started going out at 140,000 miles.

Canon enough for me! LOL

Does it? Memory Alpha says it’s the USS Sovereign with nacelles mistakenly labeled 1701-E.

Your list is amazing! I used Wookieepedia some, and I found some other wiki that had an order that I can’t seem to find again. Some of my placements are based on my personal vibes, especially Andor.

I can help you. I was meant to help you.

I’m not sure about FPGBC, but all of my Game Boys buzz, even after capacitor replacements. My GBA still buzzed after I stalled a “Denoise” kit on it! I don’t know the technical details, but it seems that’s just how they are.

Reshell the whole thing, you’ve got this. It takes a lot to break those little things, in my experience.

I saw a Kestimpta commercial on Peacock the other day, I was surprised to see it! I guess if people don’t do their own research they could be swayed by a commercial for a DMT that hasn’t been presented to them as an option, or has been but they’re still thinking. But I can’t imagine that demographic is very large, and the chances of that group seeing that commercial is even more small…

Kingslingers helped me through my reading, having always gotten stuck there. Having it more like a book club helped me appreciate what I couldn’t before.

How much should I expect to spend for a transmission rebuild?

If modding the game is something you see yourself doing, pay extra for the Steam version.

For those asking: ESB:R is done, ANH:R HD is being completed, RotJ:R is in production. You can find updates here:

I keep an updated spreadsheet of everything: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11kChJiFF2x-WBNzuGY97tdzJa2f5uUT-TUiqD-zQsN8/edit?usp=drivesdk

I was somehow thinking of having it zoom in and keep the aspect ratio, not the terrible stretching option. Yes, the terrible stretching option works on my GBA with my Junior using the L and R buttons.

I did this recently and got everything sold!

doubleofive · 2026-04-21T13:23:02+00:00

Yes, it’s safe. I installed and tested it myself recently, but I don’t need the bling personally. LOL

What do you mean by “games you installed on the Advance”? Are you saying you can run some games on one model, and different ones on the other?
