But since the GBA screen is bigger, aren't you still playing at the same size screen you would be for a GBC? Because the GBC screen is quite small, I doubt the letter box mode with the GBA is smaller than that.Mozgus wrote:The stretching is not good, under any circumstances. And again, playing at 1:1 is still using just a little portion of the screen. The games are just better suited for GBC units.vlame wrote:yes and the stretching is good, but playing it in 1:1 is possible, the pixels look better.Lodestar wrote:I thought the GBA used a letter box method? Upscaling is gross, especially at such low resolutions...I bet that looks horrid.
Quick question: Is the GBA SP backwards compatible with GBC-only games?

Not true. The GBA screen is 2.9 inches, while the GB/GBC screen is 2.6. But when you play GB games on a GBA at 1:1 pixel ratio, you're only using about 2.15 inches of the screen. (I just measured).Lodestar wrote:But since the GBA screen is bigger, aren't you still playing at the same size screen you would be for a GBC?

Sadly nobody answered the question that started the topic. My interest is for collecting purposes. A guy is selling a yellow GBC with a damaged screen, no battery cover and no games for $10. I bought a kiwi GBC boxed with instruction for $15 some months ago, so I know he's mad but just out of curiosity how much would a screen and cover add up.
