And dame tough. Haven't played that in a while since I gave my mate back his GBA Player. Found it hard to play on the GBA screen. GBA Player, another one I'm after but again silly prices on the bay.

Just make sure you test the Pokemon Gold saves properly before spending hours playing... They use a battery that in most is now dead, but they can be replaced
How easy are they to replace? Mine died in silver and I haven't gotten round to seeing if i can fix it.

You can buy them on eBay, but I believe they require soldering to the game card (it's only a single solder point).

I have two complete sets ( one uk pal and one Jap)
I remember importing Samba De Amigo ver2k from liksang many a moon ago, It was definitely my party game of choice until Guitar Hero appeared.
Just to tip you off a bit... I'll probably be selling at least one set in the next week or so as I unfortunately need the space for when I move into my new flatKeep an eye on the MM
cool will do.

This thread is awesome. I want to see the progress on the people that are designing cabinets to go with their past devices or mame.

Not sure if any of you guys have seen these
On ebay, its called the Retron 3
Plays Nes, Snes and Genesis games. Plays all regions and is compatible with the original controllers.
Video review here
Looks great, I am tempted to get one but am wondering if I will get charged import tax as they seem to be from the USA ebay
3 consoles in 1, less space, less wires etc

If you don't mind a bit of a bodge job, you can do it fairly easily.
Pry the two parts of the game cartridge apart
Remove the old battery (can't remember how it's connected, but I managed to remove it with no specialist tools)
Stick a new one in
Selotape it in place (or something to that effect)
Stick the two halves back together
Enjoy your game.

I remember seeing those a while back, although not sure if anyone picked one up. If you do get one, let us know what you think, I was always half tempted to pick one up to replace my aging SNES, but never got round to it.
I have both US and UK games, so the fact people seem to suggest it works fine for BOTH is a bonus.
How much did that lot set you back? What games you playing on her?
