      Not only is there only 1MB of flash memory, but the USB-C jack doesn't have the data lines connected to anything.

      @sh4dowde Před 3 lety +6

      It is already hacked, but you need to open up the device to do so (like already mentioned here, USB has no data lines connected). And you need specific hardware to reprogram the thing.

    People are always complaining about scanlines, big pixels in handheld consoles and keep comparing with LCD screens. When you play a game MADE for these screens, the game looks amazing! When you play this games on LCD screens, without any sort of artificial scanlines, it looks awful!
    The best way to play GBA games is using nintendo DS 'cause you can play pixel perfect with a really great screen. When you play GBA games on LCD, it just looks bad.
    People should appreciate more the pixel art, the TRUE pixel art.

    One thing that people need to understand is this Game and watch is true to the Original dimension wise. It is designed to recreate that nostalgia. It's not supposed to be a GB micro by any stretch. This is a piece of high quality collectable nintendo art with updated internals, a treat for those who actually played them when they first came out.

    The "how fast can you start playing" test was not fair because the g&w was in sleep mode, and you started the gbm from power off. also the gba mario had a "save high score" feature that actually does not save high score but saves the last world you played on, so you can A+start even after you power off...
    but then at the end gbm won anyways so i rest my case
