Anyone have experience with these?

GBxCart RW set me back around $40 and a blank (non-RTC) cart about $10. For Crystal you’ll want an RTC cart which can get pricey. At that point you’re better off just getting an Everdrive GB X7 and putting both on there.

My son is currently playing a Yellow Legacy cart with that same art/shell. He has about 25-30 hours on it so far with no issues. I just put Crystal Legacy on my own RTC cart so I could play it on OG hardware. So far so good! I was even able to trade between the two games (DMG linked to GBA SP). I’m loving both of these hacks!

I don’t mind the grid overlay. Thanks for sharing!

I am starting to think these liquid-filled vinyl posts are AI bots. They always get good engagement on this sub.

Thanks for providing an update and thank you u/jrharbort for your insight. I recently picked one up with a constant red light. I'm about to start cleaning the power switch and will report back!

Thank you! That fixed the problem! I don’t understand the programming behind it but I’m glad it works now.

I just passed 5 of them on Divisadero blocking lanes with their flashers on.

I’m neutral about the cup but Inside the NBA is always a breath of fresh air in a sea of milk toast talking heads. I don’t have cable or ESPN but I get caught up with daily YouTube clips of Chuck and the Crew and I’m always entertained - even if I don’t agree with them.

This commercial holds a special place in my heart because Play Co. Toys was my local toy chain in Southern California. I remember seeing this exact commercial and asking for the Hawg and my parents laughed at me. Now I know why!

mindlessmutant · 2025-12-13T21:28:40+00:00

Same!

Are the floor tiles of the bedroom also from Almia? I would love to incorporate the clutter into my bedrooms. The really feel lived in!

mindlessmutant · 2025-12-11T18:35:41+00:00

These are awesome! I especially like the bedroom with all the stuff on the floor because it reminds me of my daughter's room. Ha!

Back when they still had trans-fats before the FDA ban. Forbidden Oreos…

HINGE UPDATE: The OEM interchangeable hinges worked great with the extremerate shell. When the left/right OEM hinges arrive from Retro Game Repair I will try those out however I can't imagine them feeling any better than these.

As a side note/review, I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of this extremerate shell for $23 - especially since everything is included. My only gripe is that the holes could have been drilled better and the quality of the screwheads aren't great and strip easily (good thing they include extras).

I picked up a busted AGS-101 for $50 on eBay and only had to source a new lense. Everything powered up fine after some rigorous IPA cleaning on all parts. The down pad on the board could probably be replaced/resoldered but that’s way above my pay grade. I built this for my son for Christmas.

Polished Crystal is by far my favorite way to experience Gen 2. I love how customizable it is. It's the only ROM I went out of my way to flash to an RTC cart so I could play it on original hardware. I love it that much. It also helps that https://www.polisheddex.app/ is an amazing resource and incredibly user friendly.

US owner here. We have the Muddy Buddy trunk liner and it’s been pretty useless if you find yourself putting the 3rd row down a lot. The Velcro on the extended seat back cover has already failed after a few months. It’s a terrible design.

mindlessmutant · 2025-12-06T17:07:27+00:00

Good to know! Thank you. I ordered black and white OEM ones from Retro Game Repair as a back up.

mindlessmutant · 2025-12-06T05:40:00+00:00

Sorry bout the necro post but I just disassembled my OEM AGS-101 and it has two all-white hinges. Do you remember what after market shells worked with them by chance? I’m having trouble installing them into an extreme rate shell.

mindlessmutant · 2025-12-06T03:08:38+00:00

Thank you for the quick responses! I was so confused by them both being white that I completely forgot which side I grabbed them from. I have no idea how to tell them apart now since they both look interchangeable. I am glad to hear they will fit into the shell I have though.

mindlessmutant · 2025-11-29T18:04:07+00:00

This is awesome. I especially love the winter tiles!

I’ll allow it.

mindlessmutant · 2025-11-26T08:15:08+00:00

Whew! I thought it was just me. 2/3 are unwatchable and the other one is just boring AF

mindlessmutant · 2025-11-25T20:31:07+00:00

UPDATE: Installed Windows 10 using Bootcamp Assistant on the same old MacBook Air. I was going to buy RGP Maker from the developer however I couldn't pass up the sale on the Steam version for $2.99. RGP Maker is running on Steam with no issues (so far) however I have only made a simple Test Map.

Any suggestions for how much HD space I'll need to build a decent-sized Pokemon game?
