  • $30?? Are you kidding me. This FAKE GameBoy is absolutely mind blowing. I am so impressed with this thing and I will 100% be carrying it around with me. To have something in the form factor for my favorite GameBoy, the GBA SP, which plays far more than just GBA.... is a dream come true.

    We’re not allowed to talk about adding more games to this thing. But it’s an incredibly simple process. Once you plug the micro SD card into the computer you will see all of the relevant game file folders and you just drag and drop them in.

      hey elliot, thank you so much for reviewing this handheld forreal, i'm also like you and always love to pick up those little quirky random "knockoff" tpye consoles here and there lol they're so fun to just recieve and try out forreal! and a lot are always way nicer than you initially think.. i absolutely hate the snobby people that assume theyre all shit, and try to stereotype "things from china" all into the same group, and always end up missing out on so much joy and fun that people like us actually get from being open minded and surprised whnever these thigngs out perform our initial thoughts lol and a lot of times, there are always a lot of surprises on these handhelds and honestly just keep surprising us overall!! but once again, thank you for covering this as i am now going to purchase 3 to give to my nephews!! Lol!! i don't think they're old enough to get their own AGS 101/ IPS GBA SP's just yet, but these would be the absolute PERFECT HANDHELDS for them to try out and use for themselves without me havinug to worry about their handling of them LOL!! love ya bro lmao

If that's not bad enough they are selling Powerup suits... 12$ for a new hat and pants with a few bits to make a base. Mario not included.

      @@chamoo232 Yep, LEGO Mario is stripped off everything that makes LEGO great. You can't really use regular lego pieces much since you still have to use these functional bricks to make toy work. In order to get full experience you need to spend the equivalent of Switch Lite. Honestly fuck Nintendo as company, games are great for the most part, but as a company they get away with a lot of stuff that other companies would be frown at by gamers. Just take a look at other Mario 35th anniversary stuff.

    I actually ended up buying this console. I will say mine had a few major issues, key of which being that some of the console emulators just don’t work right. I wasn’t able to play NES games with a stability that could be playable. A few other emulators didn’t work quite well but they did work. BUT! I will say that I LOVE this little thing. It’s become my go to portable console since you can super easily download roms onto it. It’s really customizable and what runs well is super fun. It’s got everything I really cared about, the stuff that didn’t work wasn’t too upsetting as I either didn’t care about the console in question, or I have other ways of playing them. In all I love this console despite its faults.

    I think the reason the coins in Super Mario World sounded off to you is that you grew up with the GBA version, whereas you were testing out the Super Nintendo version. The GBA and the SNES obviously did not have the same sound processor, so certain sounds were not 100% reproduce-able on the GBA from the SNES. Among those sounds are the sounds coins and Dragon Coins make when you pick them up!

      Did you know that boards aren‘t just pressure fitted into a device? Hardware is always smaller than its encasing, putting a smaller board into a larger case isn‘t a magical task. That’s why logicboards are always held down by screws.
      You obviously can‘t just swap the boards out of the box, the powkiddy has more buttons, different ports and internally different screw mounts. But with a few modifications to the clamshell you could transform this into a more legit GBA clone.

    The new black one for 2022-2023 works like a charm. I own the orange red, coral pink and now the black one of these. I absolutely love them. Even with just regular stock firmware. Plays Original Tomb Raider games 1-5 with no issues for ps1 and some other games if you use frame skip 1 and change the setting to sch1000 ect. I recommend this device for nostalgia feel and to bring better color and feel to some games :)
    The newest 2022-2023 black version doesn’t have much differences from the older ones, though very small differences, you can tell they’ve improved some things with stock firmware.

    I like how compact it is it's well-made and It just fits in my hand nicely
    The only complaints that I have so far for it is that
    PC FX emulation has no sound with either of the 2 emulaters that I tried

    It came bundled with a Chinese adventure game which looked really great but there was no option for English text

    Hey Elliot, I did the firmware update and Etched it and Partitioned it and it is much better after. If you like roll playing fishing with Rumble you should use the Gameboy ROM Analyzer for Windows to change the cartridge type to 1EH on Legend of the River King 2 GBC. Then you can make Nushi Tsuri Adventure-Kite no Bouken GBC English with a patch too. The Playstation also has Fisherman's bait, Big Ol' Bass and Big Ol' Bass 2. I also reccomend a 3100 mAh battery from Ebay for longer play time. Don't forget to shut down on the menu before you shut it off. I am a little slow and I still got it figured out. The update is a must.
