The Golden GameBoy Advance SP
In this video I take an old Game Boy Advance SP and give it a new lease on life. I clean the motherboard, clean the inside of the power switch, replace the capacitor, install a usb-c mod, install a yellow power LED, add a new speaker, add a IPS screen along with new gold shell, new gold buttons & new membranes. This entire build took approximately 2.5 hours.

    It's really cool. I absolutely miss having a GBA SP. While I prefer a unibody/study device like GBC/GBA, I just have so many good memories with SP - LeafGreen, GoldenSun... that Bomberman game that was cheap, and the only game I owned for a while. What I don't miss: Not having a headphone jack. GameBoy games are in stereo, and music/sounds are incredible when given the opportunity to shine. It's such a shame. Ultimately, don't forget, folks - it's the games that make something worthwhile/memorable, not the hardware itself.

    I don't really see a point to it. FPGA is still just emulation. And this is very expensive and featureless compared to basically any Android handheld at a similar price. The ability to use carts doesn't really matter because no one's carrying a billion carts around and doing the maintenance to make sure they still work. At best real console people just get a flash cart and have all of the games there anyway. But then that just begs the question why even do that over just using a dedicated emulation device...? We've had cycle accurate emulation for GB/C/A/DS/etc. for over a decade.

    • @GameBoyMart
      @GameBoyMart Місяць тому

      You made a very valid point! I agree that a lot of these emulator devices have a lot more going for them as far as features and variety of games that can be played. Something like a miyoo mini or an anbernic are great imo. As someone who grew up with a Game Boy Color attached to my hand, the FPGBC appeals to me for the look, feel and nostalgia factor. I love the updated features it offers(settings menu, rechargeable battery, speed control etc.) and how easy it is to assemble. Another big sell point for me is the many different customizable parts and options! My personal Game Boy builds definitely turns some heads when I break it out on the train/subway. Which emulator devices do you recommend? I’ve been trying to find a good one for everyday use. I really like the miyoo mini plus

      @@GameBoyMart I prefer Android-based ones for stability, such as my Retroid Pocket 2+. Have had it since April 2022, no issues. By stability, I mean perfect compatibility with sleep modes, no need to reinstall the OS (sometimes on the Linux-based Anbernics you might have to reinstall periodically to regain access to Wi-Fi, etc.). It's honestly not a pain to reinstall for that stuff though and if RetroAchievements (pretty much the only reason you'd want Wi-Fi other than FTPing more games (Anbernic devices have the SD card usually a bit annoying to get in/out so FTP helps)) isn't even something you want, that's not an issue. The RG Arc from Anbernic is a cool one, it's shaped like a Sega Saturn controller and actually feels a lot like one, although more weighted so it's comfy in the hand. I think from a technological perspective the FPGA devices are intriguing, but it's hard to justify their immense price generally. Like the Analogue Pocket---it's over 200$? That's outrageous.
