Game Boy Micro <3 Thread

I see, pictures changes many peoples minds! ^^
I'm happy that you like it. Also, the 2 red ones with the black faceplate look kick ass!
it's great that you all appreciate the GBmicro that much, like me
Yes, there's an earphone out on the micro. And for an audiophile like me, the sound quality could be a little bit better and with less noise..
=/
having the possibility to turn on the LED's with a custom color would be cool though!

The brightness i think is perfect, not too bright and never too dark. I have it always on the 3rd brightness setting (of 4).G-Fex said:

I have to say this topic got me hyped for the Micro. Looked around here in the Netherlands but in my opinion it's still too expensive (from 80 to 100 euros in most places)... I want to wait a little bit longer before this beautiful piece of hardware is mine.

I see everyone is buying a spare faceplate to protect the famicom. But you lot don't understand, the whole GBM is venerable. SO the back where the Mario 20th anniversary symbol is can also get scratched.
That's why I suggested to buy another GBM all together. I haven't done that yet, but will soon. My GBM FE has already a few scratches on the screen.

SFA3 can have problems sometimes since L/R arent the best, but it looks perfect and if you can play with only using one type of punch and kick, then its great
and honestly, anyone who has a Micro needs to get Wario Ware Twisted, it is so perfect on the micro compared to the GBASP or DS

i had to call about 6 walmarts before i found one.
Regarding SFA3 and the shoulder buttons, the game works flawlessly once you realize that the shoulder buttons click from the INSIDES of the shoulder buttons (towards the top/center of the handheld), and not from the outside, like in every other portable ever made. Reason is because the damn system is so small, you'd need freakishly short fingers to easy trigger the shoulder buttons from the outside. This way you merely curl left and right forefingers over the top of the system, cradling the shoulder buttons, and click them with the tips of your fingers. Works great.

I live in Holland. These things are damn overpriced and hard to find here. Gameboy Micro was a piece of overpriced hardware from the beginning anyway. I seriously don't understand why Nintendo makes their handhelds so damn expensive.

easily, I kinda wish the classic controller had a bigger version of the Micro Dpad instead of the DS lite Dpad

Im not being a dick - I want to collect them...
OK - I might lay off after I find a black one with the silver face - that and the FF IV/Mother 3 versions are the only ones I dont have....
Besides - with these things discontinued - I hope that anyone who really wants one would get itbefore this weekend anyway....

Sorry if this has been said, but where the heck can I get new AC adapters for this thing? I bought a Famicom version a while back and somehow I lost the adapter. I've wanted to play it, but no luck finding it...
Also, if you're still looking, in my experience, Sears usually has a few. The one by me still has a few Famicom versions sitting around. They're all still full retail, though.

There is no one shop. You would be best of, searhing multiple websites for the particular game, and finding the cheapest. This is what I did anyway. Also of note, is that GBA games are becoming hard to get hold of. Especially in PAL land.

I did the stupidist thing. When I got mine from Japan, I also ordered a voltage converter, for up to 100W. Only to realise that I could have just bought another Charger from the UK, which would not only be the more convenient thing to do, it is also cheaper, and saves me carrying around a huge voltage converter, which costs £45. And it makes a loud noise. Ahh the regrets. I got to learn to live with them, right?
I could have given it back, but my thick brain took too long to figure that out, like around 6 months or something.

Anyone have a black body/silver faceplate they want to trade for a silver body/black faceplate? It's in great condition!
You want to try to get a black-on-black look too? Yeah, I'm kinda regretting having a silver body :lol (kinda regretting not buying a $70 pack with the two additional faceplates too.)
Just got the Super Rocket in Metroid Fusion. I can't believe I forgot almost all of the stuff that happened in this game, considering it's pretty high up there in "Best GBA Game."

I have a question. Do most of you guys just use the GBM as a homebrew machine? I intend to do that. I wont be buying games for it, just download them on a flashcart or something. This is possible right? I dont understand the whole homebrew scene on the GBM, if someone is willing to explain...
nope, but apparently there are usb-micro charge cables, such as this one.Mejilan said:
yeah, i have a chunk of homebrew stuff on my m3 cart. its just a regular gba...minus the gb/gbc compatibility. if the homebrew is made for gba, itll work on the micro, assuming the flash cart is good enough.Powerslave said:
for the GCN cable: there's a post in this thread about it.
a guy from another forum builds those cable using the existing cable gba to gcn and another one for micro to micro.
Unfortunately the micro cables are not anymore available online, so he can't produce them anymore.
But there should be an explanation of how to do it, if you can collect the cables you need.
@Powerslave:
GBA homebrew scene is pretty lame, there's nothing really worth playing as it was on PSP (emulation) or DS (moonshell to play mp3 or videos, and games using the stylus).
Probably you'll be playing commmercial gba games all the time with a flash cart. It's cheap, but the risk is losing the interest on the console and on your legit games in no time.
Sayd that, you have to wait for a price drop.
The price was 99 also in Italy and still is in some shops, but I managed to find a special offer: 39,90
The malls need to away their unsold old gen consoles and I think your beautyful country is no exception!
If they still have some micros I can send one to you, if you want.

You mean there aren't many good gba games? I always had an image that the gba was a goldmine for underrated platformer-type games and rpgs like golden sun, zelda etc. I just played Knytt, and thought to myself that theres bound to be even better games than that on the gbm....Tell me more about the gba game library
Oh and isnt gbm capable of playing gbc games? Not even with an emulator?

Whoa awesome!
You live in Italy? How did they get so cheap over there...
Well if you would be kind to take some pictures of the thing so I can take a look at it, I might consider it. Im definitely interested in your offer though. The thing im worried about is shipping costs and how I should pay you. Don't have a creditcard or paypal etc. or anything. Maybe you can enlighten me more about this.
