About this product

Product Information

The Nintendo Game Boy Advance is powered by two AA batteries and accepts rechargeable batteries, rechargeable battery packs, and AC power through an adapter. The system operates for up to eight hours of continuous usage on a single charge. It has a 16.78 MHz ARM7TDMI CPU for its central processor and an 8 or 4 MHz Z80 coprocessor for backward compatibility. The Z80 processor automatically activates and switches to the correct MHz rating when it detects the presence of Game Boy Color or original Game Boy games upon booting of the machine. The ARM7TDMI CPU is optimized for sprites and displays up to 50 of them on the screen at a time. It has a 240x160 (HQVGA) pixel resolution with Custom 2D core 32-bit graphics, although it is also capable of displaying basic "Mode 7" style 3D in some games. Pixels are sharp and crisp and represent a full RGB color palette. The LCD screen is lit by ambient light, increasing the longevity of the batteries. The "landscape" form factor is designed for long-term comfort, with the D-pad, buttons, and shoulder buttons located for optimal ergonomics. The Advance is capable of playing thousands of games on cartridge. Due to its popularity and longevity, a large number of accessories and add-ons were introduced. The e-reader attachment enables play of classic Nintendo software on the system via data cards, and some cartoons are available via special video cartridges. Third party support is also strong, with front lighting kits and external lights being widely available. Due to the system's power, a large number of games from the NES and SNES library were also ported to the system. The graphical power of the system is equivalent to the SNES, although its 32-bit nature allows the display of more and more vibrant colors, as demonstrated on many original pieces of software developed for the system. Due to the powerful processor, it is capable of displaying full motion video at 30 frames per second, and most software runs at the same rate.

    Great handheld device

    Great fun handheld device. It's hard to see at night or in the dark as it has no backlight. And it runs on batteries which can die quickly. But the graphics and portability is a nice aspect

  • Seems to work perfectly

    Played a little bit of the game to test it out it seems to work completely fine with no glitches and reads the cartridge fine too. Would definitely recommend especially for the value as well. The only thing I could say is there was some battery acid inside the battery compartment but that's easily cleanable.if the game doesn't read just make sure to reinsert and push it in all the way.

  • it's a gameboy advance, it's a blast

    if you've never played a gameboy advance, go get some classics like megaman battle network, megaman zero and Kirby and the magic mirror, you'll love it. get some Duracell Quantums, or order a rechargeable battery pack mod from retromodding and you'll have really long battery life. cheap AAs burn out fast, and you might get annoyed if you've never had to deal with batteries lol

  • Good ol' times.

    Oh, my stars and garters! Let me tell you about this dandy contraption called the GameBoy Advance. It's a real hoot and a holler! I reckon it's got more fun packed into it than a barn dance on a Saturday night. First off, it's so light and portable, just like those days when we'd skip rope in the yard. Fits right in my purse, dearie! And the buttons, bless my soul, they're easy on these old arthritic fingers. No fuss or muss, just good old-fashioned gaming. The screen, oh my stars, it's clear as a country creek on a summer day. The games look sharper than grandma's favorite knitting needles. I've been playing that Pokémon game, and I feel like a young 'un again, setting off on an adventure. And the battery life! I can play for hours without worrying about running out of steam. Just like the Energizer bunny, this GameBoy keeps going and going. All in all, this GameBoy Advance is a peach of a gaming device. It brings back memories of the good ol' days and keeps me entertained like a lively square dance. Five stars, no doubt about it, honey!

  • You could tell it was used and loved. Af...

    You could tell it was used and loved. After taking it apart and cleaning the inside it operates beautifully. Left trigger is a little weak but that’s an easy fix all in all I’m pleased with my purchase 5/5

  • A classic!

    I remember having one of these when I was younger. I would spend hours on this thing. Game boy was exactly as pictured. Sharpie on the housing, which was fine, as I planned on replacing it after installing a backlit screen anyways. But most importantly, it works! After popping some good ol AA batteries in it, it turned right on, bringing back all the nostalgia with it.

  • Good buy

    Packed very well, love the additional Business Card. At first I got scared when I put a gba and a gbc game in and it just had the “Gameboy” screen with a very pixilated Nintendo logo but then I realized that the batteries were low and now it works just like how it does on my gba (the one with the toys r us logo). There are a lot of little dings on the screen but it could be fixed. Great purchase. My little brother is going to be very pleased!

  • Good unit

    It works good. The only issue I had was the shoulder buttons stuck in the down position. I think it had a new shell which is notorious for that problem. I had to take it apart and trim the plastic on the buttons for it to work correctly
