masumo said:Managed to get a Micro today at Walmart. I was pleasantly surprised by the screen's legibility and brightness, however when I plug in headphones I get this faint screeching sound that never goes away. It's not loud, but definitely audible, and sounds kind of like interference you get on the radio. Is this typical of the GBA line and the Micro? Or might I have a bad unit? Thanks for any quick feedback anyone can give me.

What's a good way to find replacement plates?
Seraph830 said:I have about the crappiest camera in all existance, and on top of that I'm a complete noob on taking pictures.
Here is mine with flash turned on. (does anyone know a good way to pick up the little lint fuzzies of electronics? They are all over and no matter how many times i wipe this thing down they always are there).

Shig said:Last weekend I was at Toys R Us, and they were clearancing out the GBm accessories... I got a really sleek leather pouch for $0.70, goes awesome with my black Micro.
Worth looking if you've got a TRU around you.
this might be a dumb question (i know nothing of cameras) but macro? I dont know what that is.monkeylite said:Tripod, macro, no flash and a properly lited room. I take close up pictures of my portable stuff during the day time by the window when it is bright, although I make sure there isn't any glare from the sun first.
We're in the same boat then... Damned consumerist urges.Mr. Spinnington said:Damnit, I don't need to be spending more money than I can : (
Now I want one...
You're damn right it does! I've gotten fed up with playing my gba games on my DS and feeling like there's way too much awkward/unused space on the handheld and it just gets on my nerves. That and it feels like although the DS Lite and PSP are portable, they're good for long trips and things like that, while the GBM seems perfect to just carry with me where ever I am. And with that, I shall begin my search for a cheap GBM tomorrow.Rufus said:Damn, this thread makes me crave for a micro. D:

49 euro's at some dutch retailers, but I'm happy with my liteMoz La Punk 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.
Fusebox said:I love these GBM appreciation threads coz GBM seriously is the shizzle of the handheld world. Here's mine:
I've always said, the best handheld in the world is the one you have when you need to play games and a GBM + a flash cart is THE ultimate in portable gaming for me. I'll even slip it into my pocket for a level or two of Astroboy if Im just ducking out to grab a coffee. Just look at the size comparison:
I also have a DS and PSP, they're nice for planes and long trips etc but if I'm just tripping around the city it's GBM all the way baby. The screen is just awesome, GBA games looks far better on my GBM than they do on my DSL.
Honestly, my GBM plus any of these is just my portable gaming nirvana.

Thats $50 each right, same as what I paid? Or did you really manage to score some GBMs for $16.50 each??
i believe m3 perfect carts are supposed to be the most compatible, of the kind that take in another card at least, rather than having all the flash memory built in. older ones used compact flash cards, then they moved to sd, and down to mini and micro sd for size reasons.TiVo said:How is that EZLoader thingy. I tried to do research but I just need someone to recommend the best flashcart. i am not a pirate and own lots of GBA games and would like to have them all on one cart or as much as can fit so I don't need to lug around each cartridge.
which is why i ended up going the ebay route weeks (months?) ago for my silver micro, just gave up on trying to find them in stores. also i wanted the 2 extra face plates which werent in newer packages...not that ive used them at all.ThomPayne said:damn, finding one for $50 is harder than I expected
you are a hero.Kadey said:I have six of them.
Scalpel Knight said:I already have an original GBA, the Game Boy Player, a 1st generation GBA SP, a DS and a DS Lite.
Now this thread makes me want a GBM. This is ridiculous.
Damn you all. DAMN YOU.
Linkzg said:buy it.
as someone who has all and more of the things you mentioned, buying the Micro made me go back and play all my old GBA games and even got me to go and buy new ones.
