Speaking of odd, do you have nvidia chips in your video card? This is for PC mind you but the design people keep raving about is simply life like and amazing. http://www.nvidia.com/object/soldier_universe.html It's not on their site, saw an email from them, they quit distributing it and hosting it, but released it to the public. Oddly I couldn't find a site hosting it other than people offering up links to it on their private hosting sites. Nvidia Pinball is the shorthand for it.I got my replacement modded for frontlight GBC today, damn thing still isn't right. Speck of dust moved causing mush and a white spot on it, more ghosting and spidering around the edges. I think he's lazy or doesn't apply enough LOCA -- I'm finished. I'll get my $ back and go to handheld legend and get a kit and do it myself. The 40pin GBA adapter he forgot to ship came with it. Now that did work. Took me hours melting the plastic inside my GBA shell to get my 101 screen in there, but I got it, it fits very tightly due to the added ribbon cable so I had to hold it hard together to screw it in one piece again but it's good and works. I accidentally melted my OEM plastic outer screen, so I had to drop another $5 and order another off ebay. :\ The work I did otherwise getting it in there was good enough, it works and Top Gear I had within it already looks awesome.
I don't blame you on Mario Gold especially if you're doing that group thing with the site.
I can't seem at least in this area to find much of anyone interested in GB stuff much at all, at least at retail. I'll see stuff come in and out, but not anything like carts for consoles do and the prices are fairly well down. The most spendy thing I saw this weekend was $15 on a Breath of Fire II GBA cart. I probably should go get that at some point but I got enough going on that an RPG collecting dust is distasteful to me. The Half Price Books up the street I got that Puyo Pop game at yesterday someone turned in a huge box of loose carts (mostly GBA, like at least 40-50) so they had to just shove them as a mess inside this big plastic box annoyingly behind a locked door. Felt bad for the guy as I sifted through it all but at least I grabbed that. Had I not already got Wario Ware and FF Tactics a half hour earlier they got them too and I would have snapped that up then anyway. It seems HPB is bent on asking like $20 on Mario games, Zelda too, there or higher on Pokemon, but after that stuff seems to sit between the $1-2 clearance holder and much upwards to $10 with a few at $15 which isn't bad.
