DealExtreme SKU 23834 Unboxing + Lag Test

This is DealExtreme's SKU 23834, the "Designer 3.3" LCD Portable Handheld Game Console with 92 Built-in Games." Unboxing of this amazing feat of Chinese reverse engineering + a test against an original GBA SP, both running the game "Metroid Fusion" in sync. Why did I choose this game? You will see when the lag on the original GBA happens...

us cartridges only?

[vbmaster]

@ThexIKc GBA is region free...

[giolost]

man can you load others gba roms in this game boy advance sp clone?

[vbmaster]

@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.

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.

@RyoJapan2008 *sigh* when using the original game cartridge on the original hardware the same lag is exhibited. It is NOT the flash memory!

@valkyrine

Some question! Please someone answer!

[WinXPwhiz]

The screen is even better than the real thing!!!!!!!

[Cheesecakemilitia2]

@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.

[avoidsnnnet]

good review its seems good sku

[UbuntuGenious]

Do you have a voice?

[Methanoid]

Would be nice if someone answered Valkyrine's questions. I was surprised to see the screen looks better on the Clone than original GBASP.

[DoctorJ1337]

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

1. Does it play GBA games? (Pokemon Fire Red, Metroid Fusion, Zelda Minish Cap)

2. How long is the battery life. 7hrs more or less?

3. What is the sound and framerate of GBA Cartridge play?

I own GBA games and want to play them again on it. Any feedback regarding this little system would be great. Thanks
