Dude, wtf? It looks like they took a GBA case and added their own internals. It even says it'll play Gameboy games! The label on the back says "Nintendo patents issued and pending." I wonder who made this device?

Looks interesting, makes me want to order one to play around with.

Edit: Oh, took a better look, it's all photoshopped.

They sell that one and a GBA SP version. They both have a better screen and plays the GBA games with less slowdown than the original. It's a winner in my book :)

Yes that one. And don't listen to that "slow-down" bs. There are videos on youtube of it running side by side with a GBA SP with both running Metroid and the clone version has a BETTER frame rate and no slowdown.

I think its just a game boy advance with a built in Flash Cart. I think i'll stick to my micro with my EZ-Flash, which will be arriving in the mail soon.

No it's not. It's different hardware and a better screen also.

It's funny how they mention lag and slowdown but this test proves otherwise :?

Yeah it definelty runs at the same speed. Probably because the games are built into the mainboard ram so it doesn't have that connection time.
