You may not care but carts you buy off Etsy are _likely_ fake and might just stop working one day. the prices you mentioned are 100% too cheap to be real carts

Thanks for the heads up. So far, both sellers are very reputable, one from the UK with a long history of good reviews and good products. Also, this device isn’t capable of side loading or putting roms directly on the device.

I've got multiple Pockets, you can sideload and put ROMs directly on the device through custom FPGA cores. Dunno about the carts since if they're in the UK they should be PAL carts which are cheaper so maybe real? but as a collector, i think still highly sus

Seems easy enough, where do you find ROMs? I'm mostly interested in GB, GBC, GBA and Sega Genesis. Maybe NatGeo

I love this on a million levels. The simple Tetris hi, green. Ugh. All of it. Has it proved to be as awesome as it seems??

Got a slew of ROMs on it for GB, GBC and GBA. graphics are vibrant and controls are great. Form factor is a bit odd feeling, although it’s basically the same size as the original game boy (not the color which was smaller). Retro games are hard because they’re simpler 🤣

Super Mario Land 2, Super Mario Advance, the old NES games remade for Game Boy. Original Castlevania too

I ebay’d a few old game boys. What are the prices like on etsy?

Replying to @adameastburn

All the ones I looked at on eBay were too expensive. Got Warioland 1-4 for $50 altogether, and two GBA Kirby games for $15. Shipping included.

Had one guy rip me off for two games but Etsy refunded me so no big deal. Guy from UK sent me 4 games for basically $40.
