Who Here Still Has a Game Boy Advance SP?

I don't still "have" one, per se, but I do have a second hand one I got from Rock 30 for really cheap about 2 years ago. The one I have now is cobalt blue, the original one I had was like a grey-ish color. I got rid of my old one as I didn't think I'd want to play it ever again, especially with the launch of the Nintendo 2DS original, which I also have. However, I didn't like the sound of the virtual console part, and I missed having physical copies of games so that's why I got it. Only have Pokémon Red for the Game Boy color, although I do have a handful of Game Boy Advance games too.

I have 3 of them. One I modded with a 101 screen. I got two of them in a bundle on Ebay for like $100 dollars with Pokemon Silver, Yellow, Blue and Crystal I think. Good deal.

That is a pretty sweet deal, considering how expensive those were when they first came out

Yeah, the replacement screen, and the replacement batteries for both the gameboys, and I soldered new batteries in the games. That was a little more expensive.

I am pretty sure good old Sardonic Pickle got one somewhere.

I missed owning a GBA. I had a Gameboy and Gameboy color.

I finally could play the GBA titles when i got the Nintendo DS Lite.

As for games I think I only had The Minish Cap and I think an Ace Attorney game. Now I've played some from dave's collection and bought one or two that I have added to my backlog like Chrono Trigger!

I don't still have mine. I sold it to GameStop because I wasn't playing it anymore. That one, the GameBoy Advance and the GameBoy Color all got sold because I didn't play any of them anymore. The only handheld I have at the moment is the 3DS.

That's why I sold my original one was because I thought I'd never play it again. How wrong I was! After downloading and emulator and playing a few gbc games on this, I'm thinking damn I miss having a game boy color. Got Pokémon Yellow a while back and hoping to get Crystal soon. Crystal and yellow are my favorites because of the extra features.

I would have still had mine with me but I lost it a while back when I took it to school. Well, when I say lost, it probably got stolen because when I went to get it back, it was gone.

Thievery happens. Secure your stuff lol. Though if there is a will there is a way.

Yeah there should be one down stairs, Kaynil 5 years ago.

Not sure if it works great.

Never been a fan of the SP myself.

I still have them, but I did buy one of those Analogue Gameboys. It is pretty sweet

I don't think I have heard of them before your comment, however from what I could read, if they are the ones from Analogue.co, they are pretty cool!!

I like that you can use more than just Nintendo cartridges with Neo Geo and Lynx.
Also that supports multiplayer and dock to HDTV. I am definitely keeping them in mind.

That being said, I am not sure they can support Gameboy Advance cartridges, as it sounded to me like they were just for classic Gameboy/color cartridges. Can they?
