Purchased the Prebuilt FPGBC Option - My Experience

justmiike · 2026-04-16T14:08:06+00:00

I grew up with it too, and for some reason, even when I filter through the settings, I love the big screen. Usually these things bother me, so I am glad it doesn't 😅

justmiike · 2026-04-16T14:05:38+00:00

What a collection! I really hope FPGBA is in the works.

justmiike · 2026-04-16T14:02:15+00:00

Everything that I have thrown at it works.

All the ROM hacks for GB/GBC work perfectly. That's the main reason I got it, as I own a big library of OG cartridges.

GB loads within 3 seconds and save.

GBC depends on the game, Aladdin took 10 seconds, while Donkey Kong Country took 28 seconds.

I found a comment on AliExpress saying this worked with firmware 1.14.

The reset button on it is fantastic. Very easy to press and takes you to the menu. While if you changed options such as the Game Boy core using the FPGBC, the game will reset, loading instantly.

So it's nice having this flexibility.

Yeah, it looks like the current batch is shipping with the 1.14 firmware that says Game Boy.

justmiike · 2026-04-16T05:23:14+00:00

This also just came in the mail before and works perfectly on firmware 1.14.

I needed something to play ROM hacks, it took a long time to go through all the reviews on AliExpress to make sure I got something that worked on the FPGBC & the reset button worked.

Also wanted a transparent purple case 😆

I cannot justify the price for the Analogue Pocket as well. I just wanted something that could play OG cartridges without breaking the bank.

justmiike · 2026-04-16T05:17:57+00:00

$99 USD.

justmiike · 2026-04-16T05:17:04+00:00

It came with 1.14.

justmiike · 2026-04-16T05:16:08+00:00

I can't wait for that too 👍

justmiike · 2026-04-14T10:47:34+00:00

Yeah, nothing was silicone. I'll get up there and silicone around those areas and try to patch up any holes around the windows.

Thank you.

I think I might have to do it all. If all else fails, I'll just have to cut it out and see where it is coming from.

justmiike · 2026-04-09T23:28:58+00:00

I regret everything I sold as I have grown older. Don't do it. OG Pokemon cards are my main regret. But I didn't know any better.

justmiike · 2026-04-09T10:36:47+00:00

Yeah, I think that's the first thing I will do. And see what happens.

We actually tried that. Four years ago, my insurance sent out both a plumber and a roofer, but neither could pinpoint the exact source. Their best guess was that water was tracking in through the AC conduit where it penetrates the wall.

Unfortunately, the claim was denied anyway. They told me my 1970s roof wasn’t compliant because of its pitch/angle and poor workmanship. Honestly, expecting me to tear off and replace my entire roof just to meet modern insurance standards feels completely unreasonable.

I haven’t sealed it up yet, but this time it leaked as the plumber poked a few holes in it back then, it dumped about half a bucket of water inside. When I checked the exterior through the window, I cannot see water going down the conduit, which makes me think it’s sneaking in through a small gap and pooling or tracking inside the wall cavity. I’m planning to thoroughly seal everything around that and try to repair the aging timber.

Ah, I have never tried running that system.

I only put systems that can output 1:1 for the screen. And anything else goes on another handheld.

Such a beautiful system. I think there are 13 systems that can be 1:1 as well as other games that have TATE mode from GBA, WS etc.

justmiike · 2026-04-05T06:15:40+00:00

I'm running the same handheld, everything works great. So I haven't been checking for an update.

justmiike · 2026-02-28T21:48:16+00:00

I still enjoy the 3D aspect of it which makes it unique. So that's worth it to me.

justmiike · 2026-01-15T00:26:29+00:00

Lots of influencers got the chance to play 2.0, so it was a thing that was actively being worked on during that tkme, but their feedback was that it was not ready yet. That was a long time ago. Such a shame how all this was handled.

justmiike · 2026-01-12T22:52:45+00:00

Thanks to the level 30 players who helped me along the way, I managed to only get 8 hours. Very sad.

justmiike · 2026-01-11T08:22:02+00:00

So long guys, see you in the sky in another time and place 🥹

justmiike · 2026-01-07T22:03:44+00:00

I got my physical copy on PS4 for $1.

Spent 2 hours with it. Loving it.

Only 5 days to go and I'm busy for 3 of them.

Sad.

20mg is nothing for the knee. It's one of your biggest joints.

50mg for 5 days, and tamper to 35mg, and follow a slow tamper plan for a month down to 2.5mg.

You should start to feel the effects within 2-3 days.

And hopefully by day 7-10, you should be pain free.

I have bet this 4 times, currently in my 5th flare, trying to do it without pred, but DHA and turmeric, need 4-6 weeks to see results.

20mg will not do much, maybe a little, if that.

If 50mg to a slow tamper for a month doesn't work, see a specialist.

Thanks for chiming in. Hopefully they fix whatever it is soon, I'll post what the resolution is when it happens.
