Candor

@jjweatherman: Was just a dirty Glacier shell; sanding, painting, and clear coat turned it into something special. If you want to try the same I recommend going with bright or fluorescent paint on the inside, the slight bluish tint of the plastic will darken it. Plain old Valspar or Rustoleum rattle cans work just fine and if you just paint the inside no worries about it getting scratched.

Yes, yes they are.

Wow now that's a response and a half thanks guys! My library was mostly RPGs like Fire Emblem and Golden Sun and it's been a while since I've played good platformers so I'm glad to see those, especially the Castlevania titles since I've not played any and didn't know which was good. I forgot all about Boktai, man that game looked so cool, gonna have to look for a decent cart.

I do have a cart with an SD card for those really rare or just grossly overpriced titles. I'll probably have to use it to play Pokemon Fire Red as it seems those are either really expensive or fakes anyway.

I bought a banged up 101 GBA SP on ebay, just needed the screen so tried to save where I could (even then they ain't cheap). Rest of the parts I got from retromodding.com, don't mean to advertise but they were a big help, and do prebuilts too. Found an official Nintendo rechargeable battery pack for the GBA too so there's really no downside to this handheld now. Forgot to post a pic of the mod as well. It's an easy process but requires soldering, feel free to ask any questions.

I've recently decked out a used GBA with a backlit screen and new paint job so I could enjoy my old games on the go again as well as a few bargain bin finds (Metroid Fusion, Final Fantasy Tactics). Hearing Drew talk about FF6 and Alex/Vinny bring up the Mega Man Battle Network games I've realized how much of the library I missed out on the first time around. What is everyone's best suggestions for Gameboy titles, even if it's just your personal favorite. So far on my hunting list is a copy of Fire Red and Advanced Wars.
