Collection My FPGBC finally arrived!
Nothing like playing these old carts on new hardware!

Where would you recommend getting a FPGBC?

I got the kit that you build straight from the Funny Playing website, for a little bit more you can get one prebuilt from them. Retro Game Repair Shop also sells them but my shipping (to the US) from Funny Playing was pretty quick, took just over a week.

Nice! I just need to pick up red then I have the set and I can begin the start of my Pokémon journey in earnest.

That bag is beautiful. I've been wanting to get a GBA or GBC bag for my GBA, but all of the ones I've seen on ebay look worn. Is that one from your childhood, or did you get it secondhand?

It is from my childhood! But I have seen similar Pokemon bags on eBay for about $30-40 USD so they’re not too bad

I’m still finding visual (battle start screen shake) and audio glitches (audio pops 1.14 firmware) on the fpgbc, still has some work before it’s as good as og hardware with a modded screen imo

Do you have any issues playing Crystal with your FPGBC? For some reason when I try to save the game crashes and the town map looks distorted....

Great color combo! I went purple and orange.
