GameBoy SP's and Gameboy micros were built with a fuse that lasted only a set amount of time. The fuse would burn out after approximately 2.3 years of non-stop play.
They were designed to expire after so much time. Nintendo built them that way.
But if you're a Gameboy Advance fan, yours should still work. GameBoy Advances never had a mechanism that made them stop working.
I throught that I was the only person in the world that has a Gameboy Advance Sp that still works, but no, is good to see that some people still use the old portable systems and that they still work well for some people.
@LongArmProductions actually I have the Yellow Version and it work flawless, and after I made the previous comment I found my original gameboy, found 4 AA batteries and for my surprise it still works
Yes you can not play game boy games on it but even on the sp gameboy games don't take the whole screen and the backlight is not that important so play games on their original system for the best experience but this system is cool and unique especially since it was only made for one year
@LegoDerpy no they aren't. The Gameboy Micro was targeted to Mature Audience (pardon me for the word Mature) because it's aimed at collecters and people ages 18-30 or something like that. GB Micro can't play GB and GBC games it can only play GBA GAMES.
But I'm still getting it because of it's unique form factor and size also my GB Advance got busted.
@thedreadedzero he may be really have a gameboy sp with headphone jack becouse there are "GameBoy Advance clones" and if he dont know how the real gameboy advance sp looks like he may belive that its a gameboy with headphone jack .. and yes there is NO "Original GameBoy Advance SP" with headphone jack made. =)
i want minish cap... Of all the good game boy games i have, i only have one zelda gba game. That is the classic nes series zelda 2, the adventures of link. It's a great game, but I like toon link. I never really thought about this but, the sprites are like those in pokemon. (p.s. I have sp and micro. I need a charger for the micro. I might get one off ebay. my fingers are hurting, so i'll just subscribe.)
I don't know why Nintendo would release such a crappy product, I mean the GBA SP, did everything it needed too with playing GB, GBC and GBA game with a backlight(and later frontlit)screen. I know it was mainly to make more money, but it was a jip cause consumers who didn't know better spent money they could have spent on a GBA SP or GBA games on a system that was useless, even the Virtual Boy was better than this, at least that tried to do something new, this was a step back on Nintendo's part
i hae a sp and a micro i got my micro for a deck of yugioh cards and 10 buxs it came with mrs pacman i perfer playing on a micro then a sp and i grew up playing nothing but sp and aas soon as i got the micro i enjoyed my games more so saying playing on a sp is better is just an opion not really a fact so if you want to know which plays better try one out and decie base on what you perfer
@BestMovieDubs If we're talking about the SP, NO version of it EVER had a headphone jack. Only the original GBA and the Micro had headphone jacks. Learn the facts before you post stupid lies.
@thedreadedzero YEAH! oh, and I gotta say that MY gbasp like all other have NO headphone jacks at all, but i DO HOWEVER have an adapter that adds a headphone feature to listen to it yourself (advertised in NINTENDO POWER magazines) AND charge it at the same time, its really cool
I had a Gameboy Color for a bit and never played it much until I got the SP, that made any and all games addicting. The sleekness and the clap once you finished a game was just so cool as a kid.
If anyone wants to trade a Game boy Microfor around 40$ Worth of Steam games (Including GTA IV Complete Edition). PM me! I can also just give 40$ plus GTA IV. :D
to be honest I think the games in nintendo was much more fun that PSP's.. I asked my parents to buy me a gameboy and they bought me a PSP... at first I feel happy about it but the Games are boring me after playing it for a long time.
i don't like nintendo much but i like the gameboy i saw t when i was a kid then my bro come home with a ps1 so i played it and liked sony still till now i don't have the gameboy..... i really wanted it. (and PSP)
thats just too micro....I first wanted a gameboy advance sp...but it was too expensive.then i got the ds lite (though i never played a gb game on it..i like gb games a bit better lol) Then came 3ds rofl E_E"
I prefer playing the micro than the SP because the buttons are smother to press and the control placements is better ( cntrl. pad then goes screen and then ab buttons)
@FasterThanAKenyan Wait,whats the name of the GBAM? Hmmm GBA 'MICRO'.......so what would it be without the term 'Micro'...... Probably something like the GBA O.O. Right? So it's suppose to be small dude. Just like the GBA 'SP' is called 'GBA (SMALL POCKET)' Durrrrrrr. Smaller is always fun to have,then having a big bulky PSP in your pocket. RIGHT?! Yeah.......
@bignicktech nope. Only gameboy advance games work on the micro.
