Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 27, 2026, 04:56:59 PMman... your gif is spot on @retro junkie And from your statement, it sounds like this is not totally decided yet LOL 
For me.... I'm still trying to figure out if I Can do it, if I should do it... or just let it pass. I need to also find my Neo Geo X stuff (and probably just sell it). Ugh... this is hard to pass up... so awesome
So much awesome There has to be something wrong with it, right?!

Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 27, 2026, 04:53:50 PMAH! I see. There must've been a good sale or something lol. If I found one for $150 right now, I probably would be game as well. It would be cool if they came up with something smaller form factor wise as well. IE smaller than the lite if possible.

I eventually let it go only because Metroid II was the only game that I ever really used it to play.@Grindspine --> I believe I had the Super Game Boy adapter but rarely used it as well. I used the Game Boy player on the Gamecube mostly as a Game Boy Advance game player... but it would play pretty much every (I think every) original Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance (GBA) cartridges.
@retro junkie --> I wonder how those people are able to sell the carts without getting shut down.
The resolution looks like it could be potentially hard to view for an extended period of time. Then again, I didn't seem to play the GBA or other Game boy systems very super extended periods of time. Are these resalable due to their nature?

Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 26, 2026, 04:43:50 PMQuote from: targetrasp on April 25, 2026, 02:06:14 PMI've not seen the movie but I started reading the book and it is fantastic. Its probably too late to catch it in the theater but I'll see it at some point.
@targetrasp - yeah... it's going to be on Prime. My understanding is that it's an Amazon movie (and one of their best grossing movies so far). I don't see any information on a physical release... not sure that will happen like Fly Me to The Moon... which sucks. However, the information for streaming has also not been released as well. Come on Amazon!

The local Walmart had them for $149 back then. Not sure why, I can't remember. My Daughter and I both got one.

Concerning the resolution, it is really not that bad. I have no idea if they are using some kind of upscaler in the emulator, I am thinking that they are because that would be the only way to deal with the difference. Here are a couple of pics, first the smoothing effect, which is a slight blur, and then the sharp. I tried to use a ruler to show the size of the pic, but my phone did not pick up the lighting in the room that I saw.

I found these cartridges on Ali Express. But there is a place on line that have other games, they even have NES and SNES games on cart for the N64. The site is Vintex 64. I am going to need to save up my funds, sell a few games so that I can make an order from them. Their shipping is $35 set fee for the US which includes import fees. The game I got from Ali Express were about $16 with a $6 shipping. So, factoring the shipping, they are costing $20 plus. Not a bad price considering the price of games and for what they are. When I make an order from Vintex I want to order as many games as I can in order to reduce the pain of the shipping.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 23, 2026, 11:39:27 AMNice! This is pretty interesting. LOL... and yes... the concept is a bit insane, @retro junkie How much are the carts when you found them and picked them up? My Mind is still a little blown on this one. How skewed is the resolution on screen?
There was a Game Boy Player on the Gamecube that fit onto the bottom of the Gamecube. I used to use this somewhat frequently back in the day around the same time the Game Boy Advance SP came out.
