    Hardware Best way to repair the solder joints on the "EM8" of a GBA SP AGS-001

    I just wanted you all to know what I finally replaced the EM8 on this GBA using a rework station and a replacement I ordered from AliExpress. This is the first time my childhood GBA has charged since the original post!

    Hardware Wii Remote won't turn on - no signs of life in it

    I want you to know that I fixed a dead Wii Remote just now by taking out the removable bridge and cleaning it. Just posting this for posterity.

    Hardware Teslong Switch Dock

    I don't get why he's so positive about it when half of the video shows it not working and the Switch flickering between a charging and non-charging state. :\

    Hardware Help calibrating top screen LCD on a non-CFW machine

    I dropped my New 3DS XL from table height and the top screen LCD cracked. I replaced it and the replacement works fine, but it's not calibrated right so it looks a bit patchy and blurry. The old DS Lite systems had physical potentiometers that could fix something like this, but the 3DS models...

    Hardware 3DS XL backlight issue top screen

    They said they tested a replacement screen. The system's already been disassembled enough to verify it's not the screen itself. Unfortunately, I'm not any help with this either.

    Hardware Got a new batch Pro Controller.

    Actually, it does have the middle bump. The Switch Pro Contorller's D-Pad is actually very similar to the SNES D-Pad and is almost identical to the Wii U Pro Controller's.

    Issues loading Pokemon Gold on a Retron 5

    I have two Pokemon Gold Version cartridges and neither of them will work in the Retron 5. Both work fine in real Game Boy hardware, but in the Retron one won't even read at all and the other dumps an "Unknown Cartridge" that only displays a white screen when launched. All of my other gen 1...

    Android Does anything exist that can emulate PSOne Classics on a phone?

    I finally got it working. It turns out that ePSXe can't read official store EBOOT files because they're encrypted. I had to decrypt them with PSXtract before they could be loaded in the emulator. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

    Android Does anything exist that can emulate PSOne Classics on a phone?

    It's a PS1 game wrapped in an official Sony eboot file.

    Android Does anything exist that can emulate PSOne Classics on a phone?

    I bought a bunch of PSOne Classics on sale, downloaded them to my PSP, and copied the files to my computer. Does anyone know of any way that I could emulate these on my phone? PPSSPP doesn't work with them and ePSXe doesn't either, from what I can tell.

    does anyone know where to buy a gb boy colour currently?

    Sorry to revive a thread that's a few months old, but the controls between the GBC and SP GB Boy Colour appear to be different. The GBC one has a rounded D-Pad while the SP one has a regular one. Are they both comfortable? I've heard praise for the GBC one but you're the first person I've read...

    Homebrew Do any GameBoy emulators exist that support wireless trading with the Virtual Console Pokemon games?

    I've been thinking about replacing the save file for Pokemon Yellow (VC) with one from my actual cart. My only problem is that my New 3DS XL is on the latest non-custom firmware. I was thinking that it would be easier to dump my cart's save and trade the Pokemon wirelessly using Bluetooth and...
