I know this may be a stupid question and probably needs a seperate thread but is there anyone on the forums who might do gba modding? I seem to have screwed up my gamester I got off ebay awhile back and you know what...I'm sick of putting off either buying a rcg gba or something that is lit in some way that isn't flimsy as all get out just for on the go(especially because the gba sp now that i'm older just feels weird in my hands...). I have never understood why nintendo made a system with such a great library but never made a true proper version of it(I mean seriously I'm wishing they would've just either back or front lit it with a button like they did on the sp to switch it on and off...that would've been awesome...)
My gameroom
My systems: NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, original gba, gba sp(001), ds lite, 3ds, vita, psp, PSone(101 model) ps2, ps3(320gb model), ps4, retron 5, and Dreamcast.

One of three game series that I idolize and obsess over that I honestly thought would never get its proper ending is continuing tomorrow, Dreamfall Chapters:The Longest Journey.

I absolutely adored the world created, so much so that I overlooked the abstract puzzles of the first title and the clunky combat system of the second. I can not express how excited I am as I seem to fall in love with games that never get their proper ending.

Now if we could get a continuation of URU: Ages Beyond Myst and Shenmue I can die a happy man.

um....you only found the clunky combat to be problematic with hte second game? I just replayed both in preperation of chapters.....Dreanfall is just shit. The writing is AWEFUL, spending way too much time on pointless dialogue (meaning dialogue that just exists to be there and doesn't develop the characters or the world), there are far less interesting characters compared to TLJ, and the world.....I mean Arcadia and Stark were both 2 amazing worlds with limitless possibilities....only they are limited....by the Xbox hardware....suddenly both of them became very dull....and for what? For full 3D graphics? Didn't make the game fun, that's for sure.

anyway looking forward to this sequel, hope they at least fixed the horrible writing.

You are right. I have bad taste and can't enjoy things.
