Just got mine for 80
I wonder if the import laws and tariffs are different on a game console vs parts for a console. That may explain why it’s DIY assembly.
The now do customised pre assembled ones for not too much more!
Do modretro carts work fine on it?
Now we need a Game Boy Advanced version
Where can I get that screen protector that’s say gameboy color it’s awesome
@8:38
I REALLY wish they would make one of these in a Game Boy Advance layout.
If anyone is still interested then you can buy them pre-built now for an extra $20ish

I cant wait for a company to make a nds like this

I've just purchased a white model that's prebuilt by funny playing, I'm super excited for it!
They are not making it for builders, they are simply not allowed to create the end product. So you can buy the parts 😉
Could I use the screen for that with the gameboy motherboard in it?
built one today, was having a blast….. then after playing for 2 hours turned it off… came back to play after eating some food and the power switch broke 🙁 hopefully they get back to me.
I collect balisong. You cannot import balisong. They must be made in America. So typically they are mailed with a practice blade (tuning fork/comb) and you have to put the live blade on yourself. I’m assuming this applies to FPGBC if it’s assembled it’s a clone, but if you diy not for resale than it’s ok.
If they come up with a FPGBA i'm all in
I assume they sale this as a kit, in order to bypass copyright laws, as this could technically count as producing and saling a GameBoy which is copyrighted
"So I had to rip one off of an old broken game boy color lying around"
THE TITLE IS A LIE >:(
I am dying for someone to install this inside of an original Gameboy DMG shell. I will pay to have one made just to have it! Nostalgia overload!
Where can I buy good fake pokemon cartridges?
What they are sorely missing is changelogs for their firmware updates.
I wouldn't be surprised if Funnyplaying didn't fix issues on their own if the community FPGA devs did. They do so much crosswork between MiSTer and Analogue already.
just got to 12:06 it's 4.5 scale at full. I forgot which Youtube video I found that mentioned that though, but they painstakingly showed closeups with pixels they probably counted by hand.
I am so happy that people are finally learning that the analogue marketing of "no emulation" is a complete lie. The advantage of it being "accurate" is imprecise wording. the advantage is timing and parallel operations. able to be designed much easier and with hardware much cheaper than the power one would need if done in software emulation. Behaviour bugs are just as common as software emulation. timing edge cases is where FPGA shines. and just like software emulation, it's only as good as the programmer.
I am so happy this thing came out just as I was thinking of getting a modded GBC. saved me a lot of money.
Are there any videos testing link cable 2 player games? My worry is that the different clock speeds between a GBC and FPGBC will create issues.
Ehmm.. What's the point of this if you already have the original hardware? Is it an open fpga with multiple cores?
Funnyplaying is killing it.
I'd buy one right away for a GBA / GBA SP
Just a heads up, you're not supposed to use the middle screw hole on the motherboard. It can cause the case to crack over time
FunnyPlaying needs to do this with a GBA and I'm, happy for life.
You assembly it so they don't need to hire people to assemble it
I just picked one up and put it together. I've held on to a copy of Resident Evil: Giaden that I picked up form a shady vendor in Coney Island back in the day. Works perfect and suprisingly the battery in the game still works. My save was still there 20+ years later.
A lot of your complaints are stupid.
you didnt mention the hum/buzz which is constant on the speaker
One of the first standalone DS Flashcarts, the DS-Xtreme, also used an FPGA, but they never really went as far as they could with it, and even quickly gave up on maintaining later DS game compatibility. Side Note: It had “Dancing LEDs” on the top edge of the cart as a novelty. The LEDs would rapidly change colors in reaction to music being played on the built in MP3 player (though not useable in games).
Can it play gameboy advance games?
To save money on assembly. To avoid lawsuits? Many reasons to sell in parts, also it makes trains new users who might be interested in buying customizable parts!
although the pcb is around $80, all of the extra parts you need to buy from FunnyPlaying cost around $120 altogether
Are those the Opal buttons from Lab Fifteen (formerly known as Jellybelly Customs)?
Battery life of this thing ?
I would like a GBA clone or something. Maybe sooner we have something similar for gba.
I'm just taking a wild guess, but it could be some kind of legality thing. The fact that you have to assemble it? You know how the Nintendo Ninjas are.
If they make a GBA i'm in! xD
$10 to 20 isn't enough of a premium to have one be assembled. The amount of time it would soak up to assemble a high volume would be insane for them.
I definitely want this.
The part that i loved most was when he turned on the gameboy and it started to morb all over the place
I'd love to see these internals stuffed in a GBP shell.
I'm back again to say thank you. I got one, assembled (had a bit of a difficult time connecting the battery as well), but it works great!
I'm very happy!
