The clone seems to be truely backlight whereas the original is actually sidelight so each individual pixel on the original doesnt create its own light like on the clone. Unless u have an original sp+...or a micro
TBQH your better off just getting a 1000 model psp for like £40 and Bloating it with every emulator under the sun, i know for a fact it emulates GBA perfectly :L
@g0sub Real ( Have nothing to do with gaemboy) But I must behonest, 92 only??? for only 20 bucks more you could get the one with 492!!!!!! all these = bigger screen more games and More easier to hold.
could you tell me if it is possible (via the charger port) to pass a usb cable for a update new gba games? because I read on that it was possible deal ext with a cable 5-in1 USB THANKS
It's nice to compare a handheld made in 2000 with a chinese copy of it made in 2007-2008... well i think it's no wonder they made it a little faster seven or eight years later. Maybe in 2014 they will make an iphone faster than the iphone 2g from 2007 lol
@spongekwstas Yes, but what is the point? Now there are PSPs and Iphones on the market, some of them very cheap if buying in second-hand... Why would i buy this (that plays games 7years older) at the same price i would buy a PSP (maybe even moded)? I don't understand... and if it's for the good 'ol times, i would still buy an original Nintendo. :-/
@anarhy09 well you see there aren't very good deals on the psp out there.i hardly can find a second handed ds below 100 euros,let alone a secons handed moddedpsp(which is really a pain when downloading patches and stuff to play ripped games),and iphones cost 500 euros in my country.so 30 euros for a portable console that doesn't even need a catridge(plus it can use them as well),is a pretty good deal if you ask me
@spongekwstas Yes... you have a point. I got my psp for about 80euros and the guy gave it to me with motorstorm arctic edge. It is in great condition, minor scratches on the back. And a second hand iphone is not 500 euros here. I mean, i am now selling my old iphone 3g because i got a 3gs. And i can't sell it with more than 200euros here. Even 200 would seem a bit overpriced. With 500 you can get an iphone 4 brand new with no warranty. Yea, modded psps are a pain in the ass, i have not modd mine
@spongekwstas Oh, i forgot to mention. My psp is a 3004 one. You can easily find a psp 1000(the fat one), at around 30-40 euros. (well at least in my contry). I understand what you're saying, but i was just trying to tell you that there are better solutions. Before i had my first iphone 2g about two years ago, it took me some time to get the money i needed and firstly i wanted to buy a clone because it was cheaper. But when i first saw one, i waited 3 more months and got the iphone. It was laggy
Apparently seeing as most of these GBA Clone's come with the same software but different ROM Dumps, pressing R 3 times at the ROM Menu seems to put the system into flash-mode. DONOT Assume i am correct i just happened to watch a video about it, only difference was the GBA Clone actually had a USB Port. But its worth a shot because you can get USB Chargers for systems with your connection (Guy in the video) which, if my suggestion works, be used as a USB Cable.
@giolost unfortunately this model does not seem to have any USB connectivity to use it as a flash drive, however, if you were skilled enough, you may be swap out the flash chips on it onto a USB flash disk to put new games onto it.
@giolost If you can get the cable from the regular GBA clone it does work with USB. I have not been able to find that cable other than buying the 2GB GBA clone. I think I could hack one together though, it hooks into the link port.
The real GBA is slowing down because the game is playing off a Supercard which is well known to have problems playing games at full speed. This video demonstrates nothing.
@eyeball226 If you read other comments I've made about the original hardware, the game exhibits this lag in the same exact area when played off the original cartridge. It IS NOT related to the Supercard CF.
@eyeball226 The fake refuses to boot 99% of flashcarts (which includes the Supercard CF). Instead of filming the sequence twice and using Vegas to magically splice and sync both takes, I opted to film once and use Vegas to sync both halves of the video together. Now really, I'm not going to re-shoot this video again over half a year later to show my point. If you don't want to believe me, fine.
A SuperCard CF was used on the original GBA to load the ROM. The flashcart does not effect the speed of the gameplay like some NDS flashcarts do with certain games. When using the original game cartridge, this same lag is exhibited when played on the original hardware. Believe me, it really bothered me on that level when I played through the game.
There is one detail I like to add, while I still consider it a good deal, it has one major defect compared to the original, a critical one at that.
Battery time on a full charge is only one third that of the original, 2 hours compared to 7 hours at full screen intensity. I THOUGHT it was a battery problem, I brought a new battery but this inferiority of performance still existed.
My version has come with 500 installed games 123 GBA and 400 old but great NES and Gameboy. GREAT GAMES that work out at an average price of 10 cents a game.
The speed of the games ARE great and all I can say is that compiler is full of sh-t. The Chinese have done an excellent job.
esse game clone made in china, parece ter uma melhor imagem sob o game boy modelo AGS-001 mas em comparação ao AGS-101 é a mesma coisa, e com certeza o brilho é melhor mas tb deve consumir mais energia, melhor jogar os game em um Nintendo DS, KOSKOSKOSKOSKOSKOKSOSKO
The Reason the Clone is faster is that the game is being played on the inbuilt SSD Hardware, the original GBA is playing from a cartridge. I do agree with vbmaster in that it is better. Surely the GBA should be able to play its own game at 100% Right?
Yes, I used a SuperCard CF with a SanDisk Ultra II CF card (~10MB/s) on the original GBA. This is not the bottleneck. If the original cartridge is used it still exhibits the same slowdown in that room. I think the cause of the lag is mainly the combination of visual effects. Perhaps the clone GBA's reversed ARM processor handles the load better?
I am wondering if there is a way to get it into a flashing mode. If you hold down start and select, it will show a screen with the hardware or software revision on it (not sure, it's the same number on the mobo sticker) along with a red progress bar or something like that.
It has a link port as well as the original charger port, I can put Leaf Green on my SuperCard CF and see if it works in another video, if you want me too.
Oh man, I would be rly glad to see that works. I own micro now, but my friend is looking for gba sp. I would like to him to buy this if link works. (ps. why don't you try zelda four swords? that's main game we are looking for - you would help me rly a lot).
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords cart does not seem to be compatible with the clone GBA. On a real GBA SP, it reads the save file properly off of the cart. However, on the cloned GBA SP, it does not read the save files at all.
Why you flipping thru the fuckin manual??? Get to the test!

I know the LAG Problem, its not the GBA, ist the Flshcard, or corectly the Flash used in it.
The Data from an original Game Rom can be faster loaded then from the Flashcard.
The LAG is an the Point, the Game must load ne Area Data from the Game.
maybe also intersting.
The SKU 23834 used original Hardware Parts from the Chinese Version, the IQue Game Boy Advance SP.
Its not really an Fake console, more an Unlicensed Copy.
