The 10 Worst-Selling Handhelds of All Time

They really are lovely. A standard one shouldn't cost too much. The flash cards are a bit harder to hunt down though.
How much am I talking for one? Boxed if possible?
I'm drifting slightly away from flash cards as of late. They'll always have their uses for obscure & epensive games & consoles, but it's so much fun buying a real game, I'd forgotten that over the years. A burst of buying NES titles over xmas restored my faith in the trusty cart

I want a Gameboy Micro
Everyone should own a micro they rule......... not as much as dinosaurs though:DAh, you see flash memory is measured in bits, not bytes.
So that's 256Mb(bits) not 256MB(bytes)...the difference being one has a small b and the other a large B.
8 bits in a byte. So to find out how much space is really on it (!) devide by 8.
So it's a 32MB flash cart. 5gba games sounds about right.
Well I just checked my flash card and it says 265M on in so they're being underhand about it right from the start:rolleyes: doesn't matter though cos it works and is a great little addition to my collection0 -

If you want one boxed I think you're probably going to have to pay a good bit more. It seems like one of those things people really wouldn't keep a box for! The console on it's own should be possible for under 30 I'd say.
That's mad about games by the way, I thought you'd been converted to the darkside for good. Sure you'll be back buying CPS2 boards before you know it

Lol, nah the wonders of Mame @15Khz were beyond what I could have imagined, so I've left the arcade collecting world for good. I'd love more cabs though!
But stuff like Snes & MD, the games are so cheap so why not buy em? Granted for fan translations and things, & games that are stupidly expensive, flashcards are always gonna have their place. Like before buying Darxide, I'd load it up via flash first to save myself the hassle see what it's like.
And it's not innaccuracy with them, they're identical to the real cart game, & I mean identical. It's the low cost of the real carts, that come with printed labels, maybe a box & a manual that tells you the story of the game etc etc. You can't get that with a flash card 0 -

Spot on man, when you can have them cheap (and the full gaming experience that comes with them), why not? Get them while the going is good!
Having spent about 10 year watching the prices of games rise on ebay, I'm pretty confident this whole hobby is really going to kick off in the future collectability/price wise. Relatively speaking, gaming hasn't been super mainstream for that long. Might as well get stuff while it's going cheap.
The only real problem at the moment is space...I'm sure when that gamesroom in the sky is finished it's not something you're going to have an issue with

2 seater Daytona cab would eat up that space in seconds;)
Lol, ffs it nearly killed me getting a tv into it, imagine trying to squeeze a cab into it
No no, the outdoor shed houses the arcade magic. Still leaves the problem of getting sit-down cabs through the house. I'd have to dismantle it at the front door, bring it through the house, & rebuild it in the shed 0 -

Is that not expensive for one, even excluding postage? If I hadn't have bought an Amiga I'd be looking closely at it, but GBM will have to wait 0 -

If its the A600 on adverts,it has different chipset than the A1200 so you wont be able to play some of the A1200 games,if your installing whdload you need more than stock 1mb thats on the A600 so prepare to pay small bit,tbh 90s amigas where shoite compare to 386/486 pcs with their sound/graphics cards in the early 90s.If I hadn't have bought an Amiga I'd be looking closely at it, but GBM will have to wait0 -

For 25 quid, I couldn't care if it has the insides of a C64 I'll work on it over time at some stage, just couldn't let it pass for that amount. 0 -

Here you go, a (big) Pac Man bartop cab made of LegoActually do you know what I should build...a LEGO arcade cab :cool: I could just buy a few job lots of bags of bricks online, collect enough so that I'd enough to build one. 0 -

That Lego cab is tres cool, but are the bricks glued together?
Are do you trust your children aren't going to raid your cab to build their own latest contraption?
I would need glue!
Probably be cheaper to build it traditionally though, those bricks ain't cheap!
Yeah it would have to be glued, wouldn't fancy trying to power slide around a corner in Ridge Racer & half the cab come apart in my lap
Ah it's just a pipe dream for now, maybe when I get the backlog of stuff to do cleared I'll consider it.0 -

I suppose you could take the simple route, save time and use Duplo!
Imagine getting some Technics sets together and integrating the pneumatic stuff!

Hmm, then this comes outta mouth:
"Hey, did you see the Duplo Arcade Cab I built?"
As opposed to
"Hey, check out the Lego Arcade Cab i built :cool::D"
Nah! :PThat reminds me. I must get around to adding that to the Lego forum charter as a bannable offence.
Boards.ie has a Lego forum??? :eek::eek: See ya'll later 0
