GBAtemp Deal: 40% off BittBoy units with exclusive offer [Sponsored]

Emulation sucks.

no u

But seriously, though, it's hard to dismiss an entire subset of computer programs and dedicated emulation hardware just because of one bad apple. Besides, with stuff like save states, cloud backup, and online multiplayer for games released 20+ years ago, I'd say that emulation is pretty freakin' cool.

That said, I'm underwhelmed by the BitBoy. You'd think that it'd at least be able to play Game Boy games, given the form factor. My toaster can emulate the NES and several more powerful systems to boot, so having a device that only plays NES games isn't a good deal, IMO.

It feels like they contacted every youtuber, blogger, media site to try to shove the bitboy down our throat.

I can't even begin to fathom why this product was ever brought to light. It'd be an alright buy if I weren't limited to the handful of NES games (most of which I won't touch) that are preloaded. Hell, the fact that I'm limited to NES only in this day and age is enough for me to say no. Not to mention the faults brought to light by various reviewers. They need to stop with the heavy advertising, sales, and paid reviews.

Can some tell me why gbatemp is advertising an item full of warez? How can you guys try to profit off of this yet still call this site antiwarez? You guys that desperate for cash? People's patreon money not enough? Y'all some hypocritical bitches

C'mon let's be real; this site is full of discussion on custom firmware loading roms, switch hacking and the likes.

As for this product; 1 hour battery life? I guess it's cheaper than a NES classic...

Why... "sponsored", it's right there up on the title.

PS: Also this site is not antiwarez, where did you get that from? It's policy is "don't do things that can get us into legal problems", so no links to warez... do you even know how the temps started? This was a ROM sharing catalogue.

this site used to be one of the biggest ROM hoster websites, you would come to gbatemp for the lastest gba roms and scene news..
the thing is, the site become a great resource with plenty of discussions and shit. To avoid shutdown, run into problems or continue to exist, warez had to be removed from it.

Shouldn't GBAtemp be advertising good products instead of trying to fool their user base into buying this trash. I feel offended that you would try to pass it off as something good to your users just for money, when even your own reporters trashed it.

There are many of those. I'd prefer the Zero Boy or something like that because the BittBoy is way too small (and has bad battery life).

That's not even the problem. The problem is that it's missing so many of the great NES games (no Super Mario or Zelda for starters) and you can't add your own games. Most of the 300 games are actually trashy bootleg/homebrew games. There are maybe 50-60 or so real games at most. Which would be fine for the price if they were all of the best NES games, but they're not. All the other little issues could be ignored for the price.

psp vita , is more like a hebbe ding

It's a pretty decent instrument. Just drop an SD card in it and shake it since it's already stuck in the case.

What's the legality of this device? I thought sharing ROMs or promoting them wasn't legal? This thing has ROMs on it, no?

If you google around, you will see the games haven't been licensed. So this device is as legal as your average bootleg cartridge. If that's what you are asking.

Just don't want the Temp to get backlash, thanks for the explanation

 

[codezer0]

If it werepossible to load my complete romset for the nes and fds, I'd be all for it. As is? Thanks, but, no thank you.
