    Found this online it's a gba sp clone looks very nice and apparently runs well according to the YouTube videos...
    It's priced a €55..
    Felt it belonged in retro as its not an established console..
    Anyway if I could get your opinions that would great!
    Tempted to buy this!! :confused:

    Why would you want a clone? You'd buy a genuine one cheaper...Though I see this comes with an sd card, presumably this just runs roms or something? I'd stay well clear, just buy the real thing & a flash card if your that way inclined :)

    You can pick up mint condition used ones though. Those clones are nasty things, likely terrible screens, controls & battery life. You would pick up an SP handy enough in Rage/Retropolis/Ebay/Adverts etc for half the price of one of those clones

    Is the site safe?

    That seems to be out of stock and no more linking to sites selling flash carts, thank you.

    Sure, gba carts are cheap as chips, why bother with a flash cart?

    I only use mine to emulate GB/C games so I can play them on the GB Micro
