has anyone bought one of these? i think it looks kinda cool and at $14.99 with free shipping i buy one
I am a big Nintendo fan! especially GameBoy, N64, SFC, GC. And of course Mario games
I collect SFC/N64 mainly. Some rare famicom stuff too. Also miscellaneous video game stuff.

Haha. I was looking at those yesterday! They look really neat. The D-pad looks interesting and the backlit display is cool. I remember reading a review on these a while ago. I cant remember if it is this one or the SP clone, but I remember reading one of them ran at ever so slightly a higher fps and on a hacked bios.

Either way, let me know how it is if you get one. I might just grab one anyway and if I do I'll let you know.

Hmm, interesting - but I'd rather get a cheap GBA SP or Micro.

(thanks for the link by the way)

Anybody used the aliexpress before?

MaxXimus

I have. Shipping took almost a month on my purchase. It came packed well and in good condition.  It's like ebay but the sellers sell out of warehouses.

That's exactly what it is, essentially.  You're ordering from a wholesaler that normally deals business to business, but now also deals business to consumer.

Yup. Its the sister site to Alibaba which is strickly business to business with its large minimum orders (at discounted wholesale prices)

Thanks for the info guys, I think I will try it ;)

It is the gb boy that runs a hacked bios and runs faster. I am reading its due to the oscillator.  You can swap that for the correct one a gameboy uses and the frame rate will go back to normal.

Im totally buying the gbc varient with backlit screen. The ghosting of images is almost non existent on those cpated to the monochrome gb boy.

B2B PPU is probably USD 6.5 or less.(alibaba) if you can find it.MOQ is probably 100+ though..As B2C category we are the ideal consumer...But what ever.at least free shipping.and $15 is still a great deal

Let us know how you get on with these (anyone who buys one) - perhaps the GBC is a good shout.  GB Everdrive shouldn't be too far off either.  I hope.  I also hope it supports GBC!
