    My wife bought me a custom gba for Christmas a few years back. It has the lcd screen, Bluetooth for sound, recharger battery and the mega drive with 32 gb sd card. I loaded it with thousands of games. It’s a Nintendo switch themed with Pokémon sword colors. (Grey and pink) I get asked by everyone when I play it. Lol it’s truly the best fit for my hands and the sounds bring me back. I’m a 34 year old man with 3 kids and still play the old SNES classics. Best gift ever!

      I remember not even understanding the concept of the new screen as a kid. I had a GBA SP 001 version and my friend had a GBA SP 101 version and I never understood why his screen looked so much brighter and more vibrant than mines. I actually thought it had more to do with the colors than the actual brightness for some reason. I was about 10 year old when I got my first GBA SP

    From one retro console enthusiast to another, there's actually a very tiny metal piece for the shoulder bumpers that you're missing and they're extremely difficult to keep in place when you're assembling the gameboy. Those are what actually give you that clicking feel that you were missing. It's like a very thin piece of metal that goes in a loop-de-loop like a roller coaster going upside down if that makes sense. I refurbished my cousin's old GBA after the screw mounts crumbled just because of how old it was so I got a new case for it so that's how I know.

    • @nightwing179
      @nightwing179 Před 11 měsíci +2

      I believe that’s only for the gba sp. the original gba has a thin metal rectangle that allows the buttons to bounce back up. The spring does the same thing on the gba sp.

    Have my own similar custom but with a Crystal Purple shell from RetroSix. As a daily driver for Gameboy and Advance games is really nice. Normally just whip it out on the London underground/subway and play. Not too worried about ruining it as the case is reasonably cheap and I just pop back into a sock to keep it safe. It's odd we have so many emulation options now but I still find myself going back to the consoles with the original shape/feel. Maybe it's just nostalgia lol.
