Super Mario Advance 2 and Advance 4 are arguably the best. Advance 2 is Super Mario World (the best Mario on the SNES) and Advance 4 is Super Mario Bros 3 (the best on the NES)
.New Super Mario Bros. on the DS is worth a look too!

Just got this today...
Paid slightly more than I wanted to for it and I've not finished the first one off, but some major xp farming is needed for me to progress. I've been on the same stage for years now. lol. and I've not even started the 3rd one yet.

Want to get into Disgaea but I need to finish Fire Emblem: Awakening before I start any other TRPGs

I would keep an eye out for them on eBay, some of the buy it now prices are a bit silly and I've never seen one in the shops or car boots. Like most TPRGs it caters for a niche market, people who likes them will most likely keep them them rather than sell them.
Yeah, the Fire Emblem games cost a pretty penny too.

this is that pile of lose discs i got for £3 the lot,seems like a mix of allsorts
My two SNES still work fine. Hardware wise, I think they will both be much the same. Carts need cleaning every so often etc, not really much to go wrong.
For the record though Snes>Megadrive. Super Metroid alone makes that true
Anyway. Finished modding my GBC.
For my first attempt, not too bad.
Dust is problem as always, despite my best efforts some got in. Luckily for some reason most of it can only be seen side on at an angle you couldn't play at anyway.Not even sure where it is, as it can be on the back of the screen shield, front/back of the light or on the screen.
That weird banding effect is only there on picture, don't know what causes it or how to take pic without it.
Hard to take a good picture, but results are pretty nice. Colours are a little washed out, just like on the front lit GBA, but it's better than not being able to see the screen.
Looking good mate. I tried to do this last year and got fed up n frustrated in the end, I'm useless with a soldering iron. Did you use the front light from a GBA SP?

Always fancied a game boy micro but they are going for good money on eBay. Has that got a light mod?
Gameboy Micro has a backlight as standard.
