RetroZone's RetroVision

[NintendoKing]

Honestly, retrovision would be pretty awesome. I only own SNES for Super Gameboy, but retrovisions price is a bit to steep; I would be willing to pay 95$.

Yeah, I've been looking to turn my PSP 3000 I never used into a emulator paradise. Do I need to buy that Pandora Battery to crack it?

No, you cannot flash a PSP 3000. You need a 2000. You might as well sell your 3000 and buy a 2000 instead.

Oh, ok. Good thing this thing was a gift.

Why?  Especially if you already own a Super Gameboy.

[MS-DOS4]

Actually it looks like they've cracked the 3000 model. I'll have to do a little research on it before I sell...

Hey guys  

I actually own a RetroVision.  I got one in a trade over on NintendoAge.  It's pretty damn cool, I have to say.  Yes, it's pretty much just a piece of hardware made to see if it could be made.  bunnyboy (the designer) pretty much said so when he released it.  That said, it's pretty awesome to be able to play GB games on an NES.  Yeah, not worth it if you own a Super Game Boy or a GB Player, but hey, it's still pretty damn neat.

Can you change the game pallets on it? Does it support GBC games that were playable on the GB? Any game you tried that won't work?

I own the Supercard MiniSD for my Gameboy AdvanceSP and in it's firmware is implemented the GoombaColor GB/GBC emulator together with PocketNES emulator and also a PCengine emul and it plays GBA roms. A good cartridge indeed but I have problem with it - many of the cartridges bought over at Dealextreme were faulty and mine also - sometimes it freezes when playing GBA roms - so I must save more often...

Lameboy definitely recommended, but I'd also really like this.  I have a gameboy flashcart but it's parallel port only, so I can't actually use it :S

How much was it? I've never had any problem with my M3 Perfect SD. THen again, the thing cost $95. I guess you get what you pay for.

[jpx72]

Wasn't that cheap - paid 30euro for the SupercardMiniSD. And it comes without the SD card ...so another investment must be made.
But...is the M3perfectSD for the GBASP or it is for DS only? Cause I don't have DS...

[satoshi_matrix]

It's for both. It'll work great in any GBA, but it also allows you to boot DS games.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

So I should get the M3 Perfect SD?

Does it have the features the SuperCard Mini SD has?

[satoshi_matrix]

I'm not sure what the Supercard SD has, but the M3 Perfect SD has the following:

-Runs nearly every GBA game. The only games I haven't got to work on it are some hacks and some fan translations. Overall, this thing reads 99.9% of the GBA library, including the excellent fan translation of Mother 3.   

-You can use PocketNES Goomba and thingy to create your own NES "multicart" that is treated as a GBA rom.

-SAVE support. This is actually something a lot of GBA flashcarts don't let you do. The M3 Perfect uses 1MB save files per game, which sort of sucks, but you can rely of them.

-Built in emulators that allow you to run Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Sega Master System and GameGear ROMs.

-Fairly decent power consumption compared to some flash cards I've seen. I'd estimate it only drains about 1 hour or so away from the time you would get from a full charge playing a standard game.

-If used with a Passcard, the firmware supports DS mode, which allows you to run DS roms on a DS.

-reads .txt files
-reads video and audio files, but they need to be in a super specific file format. I never bothered with these.

-Limited to standard SD card size; SDHC won't work. I have a 1GB card in mine and it has about 35 GBA games and 20 GB and GBC games.

problem is that this is a discontinued item AFAIK. And the problem about built in emulators is that you cannot change them untill the company releases new firmware (last one in 2008) or you can manage to make your own one. Sure you can do a GBA rom with built in emulator (in pocketNes and goombacolor it's possible).
And the biggest problem would be the great number of faulty cards all over the world so buying a 100% working one is really hard nowadays.

Otherway it's fairly simmilar to the mentioned M3Perfect
