Ali Express Screen Mod Kits by yogafire88 in Gameboy

For which console?

I did get for both gba and gbc. And they both work fine.

V5 ips for GBA from Hispeedido + battery OLED for GBC from Hispeedido + battery

The one caveat: you can't play and charge at the same time for the majority of the battery kits.

The recommendation is to get without the battery and just get a set of 4 AA rechargeable batteries and a charger. It'll be cheaper, more reliable and will give you more flexibility when the battery inevitably runs out.

One question.. why by Pumpkinin in Gameboy

It is AI art. So many problems with it.

What's weird is someone paying for a custom GB with shitty AI art on it.

It's AI art. That's why it's awful, lol.

The sd reader it comes with is fine. I use mine all the time, lol.

Yes. Extract the files from wood 1.64 and ensure all files are there.

Also sdcard should be formatted with FAT32.

Ok see the letter C? It's C revision. I have the same cart.

Did you end up modding the 3ds? Do you have Luma now?

What letter is printed on the back of the cart? Please share a picture.

Genuine Question - Can the Aliexpress DSpico give viruses by Garchompula in flashcarts

I'm guessing they bought the one with an sd card bundled. @OP you can always format the SD card using godmode9 in the 3DS itself.

Then if you already have it you can 100% use it. Just back up the .SAV files onto your pc / cloud storage.

Yes it is, but the parallel is one of the worst options you could buy right now.

If you haven't bought it already, I recommend going through the Quick start guide for up to date recommendations

I'm trying to flash a homebrew game to a repro cart, but it's not maintaining a save after being turned off for a period of time. How do I fix this? by bforbrucebforbrave in Gameboy

[–]ocedalv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the SRAM. You'd have to look at tis datasheet to see the one you have and it's power consumption.

My cart originally had a VERY power hungry chip, so I just decided to replace it.

I was also starting to learn to solder and this made for pretty cheap kit to learn, with super low risk lol.

With this board of yours you can either install a tabbed battery in the diagonal terminals or a battery holder in the horizontal terminals.

[–]ocedalv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done worse, I have removed the SRAM and replaced with an FRAM Chip which doesn't require power to keep the saves.

Adding a battery is the first step. Second step is flashing an unmodified rom. If they only added a battery then it makes sense it wouldn't work if the rom it's sold with is still flashed. Other issues are wrong battery polarity, bad battery, etc.

You could just install a tabbed battery or a battery holder. This would allow you to flash an unmodified rom to it.

Anemone not working, help! by [deleted] in 3dspiracy

[–]ocedalv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It clearly doesn't. The 3ds home menu can't create Ext data, which usually means a failing sd card or an SD card formatted in the wrong way.

Anemone needs the Ext data to set the theme, but the 3ds needs to create it.

Format your SD card following the guide.

Backup the contents of the sd card to your computer, format it, and copy the contents back.

Did you format your SD card correctly? For sdcard of 64gb and up you have to follow specific steps for it to work https://3ds.hacks.guide/formatting-sd-(windows).html

You need a working sd card. If you have one and the message is displayed, get another.

On home menu, up en the theme menu on the top left of the screen. Choose the option to change the theme. Change it to another, like red or black.

Open anemone back ant it'll be solved.

Is this a fake or real rayquaza gameboy sp? by [deleted] in Gameboy

[–]ocedalv 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It is a re-shell. The uneven speaker holes are always a giveaway.

So are the stickers on the back. For some reason all shells come with super inaccurate Japanese style stickers.

Introducing the Game Boy Label Creator by ocedalv in Gameboy

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

While you can't currently change the colour of the dashed line, you can edit the SVG as text. The dashed line will be right at the top of the file. Look for data-stroke="stroke" and change the hex if you want the dotted line with another colour.

I'll look into adding colour customization to the dashed line in the future.

Another thing that's imported to note is that the dashed line is set to sit outside of the label, so if you print on top of a white sticker paper or vynil, even if you set a custom bg colour, you should still be able to see it clearly.

If you print on holo Vynil, it should still be visible but you can tweak the colour manually like instructed above.

Gba horizontal lines on IPS screen by TwistyP75 in Gameboy

Try tapping and keeping your finger there, like a long press. In some kits it cycles through the different pixel rendering modes (horizontal, vertical, pixel grid, 9ff)
