      Well, this GB Micro with it's speaker booster accessory is certainly better than the Game Gear Micro with the magnifier accessory! The speaker booster is worth the money in my opinion. If I still had my GB Micro I would purchase one as well along with an EZ Flash cart! The EZ Flash cart is actually the accessory upgrade that allows the GB Micro to play GB and GBC games.

    The faceplates for the micro come off with a special tool that presses simultaneous on two holes on the side. I think yours comes off that easy because there is something broken on the latches in the case.

    I can't help but notice the battery inside the EZ Flash cartridge. Seems a bit odd considering it uses a micro SD to store ROMs, negating any need for battery saves. I'm guessing that's to run the clock for Pokemon games and the like. I've also heard that a lot of similar devices come with code on them that locks them out after X amount of time so you have to buy a new one. Do you know if that's true of your model?

    I have an original silver Game Boy Micro and a DigiRetroBoy + two EZ-Flash IV Omega cartridges.
    The EZ-Flash IV Omega is for me better than the GBA Everdrive.
    Because the EZ Flash IV Omega have nearly the same functions of the Everdrive at a lower price.
    And it fits all GBA's and Nintendo DS/DS Lite without stiking-out from the cartridge slot.
    The only real downside is that the EZ-Flash IV Omega consume more energy than a standard cartridge or common flash cartridge (including the Everdrive).
