I’ve had mine for about 6 weeks and use rocknix. I have been able to play several PS1 games with no issue, All DS and under play great. Only have some issues with audio on some n64 games and many dream cast games are just too much for the chipset to handle. Retroachievements on DS games didn’t matter to me since i never played the DS growing up. But having the retro achievements on all the older consoles is great.

I have the teal matte version and love the color, it looks even better in person, but more green than blue as mentioned. The battery life is rough at only about 3-4 hours, and it does take that same amount of time to charge, so i’m thinking about getting another single screen retro handheld with a better battery life like the trimui brick pro that just got released.

The RG DS also fits perfectly in a 7x9" lipo battery pouch, so i charge my unit in the bag so i don’t burn my house down. Well worth the price for $122 including the li po bag on eBay and the Anbernic Carrying case from aliexpress.

I torrent and seed and that shits not legal here. Mullvad has been great for never leaking my torrenting to my ISP.

Well shit. I need to change to airVPN now. I’m worried as I’ve heard people had their IP’s leaked to their ISP with AirVPN, BUT that could have also been user error.

There are 1 or 2 companies that are going back to screen printing for pinball playfields. The quality is second to none and look identical to factory. Once they add the automotive clearcoat, you now have a playfield that will potentially last up to 60+ years since the original playfields are still in good shape after 30 years, but with much thinner clearcoat or laquer applied.

The new DUNE table has a similar feature for the sandworm. It’s a magnet on an elevator and will grab the ball and bring it below the playfield to a subway that feeds to a VUK. So it’s possible. The only issue would be the pop bumpers on the upper playfield for the launch, pop bumper assemblies drop down a good 4-5 Inches from the playfield, so they would need to be changed.

I live in the deep South and don’t want my information out there. Mullvad has done me right for years, I see no reason to change. Many other VPN’s are vulnerable and can leak your information to your ISP.

Only a VPN at around $65-70 per year.

Nice choice! The white cabinet looks awesome. I normally just buy whatever display cabinets i can find used on nextdoor or craigslist, but i’d like to get a nice corner unit like this.

That is a decision only you can make. I worry about the possibility of disc rot/data rot in these mini discs. So i sold my expensive games years ago. I still have about 15 GC games, but most of them are only $40-80 each. But around here, gamecubes are highly desired and go for $120 all day at local gamestores, which are normally sold out.

I just replaced both batteries on my red cartridge and the new blue cartridge i just got. They both had original batteries with 2.2 and 2.6 volts remaining, so not too bad. But it would be nice to do save states if i screw up my game trying to get all 151.

How long have you had your GB operator and did you have any of those corrupted save issues others had years ago?

I don’t have a super famicom though, so I’m stuck with the US option.

Oh yeah, zero intention of buying the disc for $120. I mod most of my consoles myself, so it’s no big deal to mod one of my GameCubes. I have serial port 2, so I may go that route if I can find a nice and clean gameboy player for under $60

I can barely tell the difference, even in racing games. I’ll never notice it in that case. I think the super gameboy is still my best bet.

Do you notice the “faster frame rate”? If anything i might appreciate it since i’m just playing Pokemon which frame rate doesn’t matter anyway. Also i think pokemon red and blue get a nice border on the SGB.

I want to avoid the emulation aspect so i can use the link cable and get all 151 on my original red and blue carts. So need to stick to official hardware unfortunately. I have 2 gameboys, but want a more comfortable way to play them on a larger screen and also not damage these $80 carts by rubbing all the paint off holding them for hours in my GBA SP.
