Even if I'd (been there and) wanted to buy one, I would have been afraid of the crowd. Watching the video, I was a little worried for the person walking away with one.

However, opening up the top half comes with a risk of damaging the LCD cable, and in that situation there seem to be no replacements available.

"Beamer" makes me think of Canyon Battle on the BBC Micro (even though I probably haven't given a thought to that game in 10+ years). Looked it up just now, and it really was in there: https://youtu.be/e1obcVv5eAQ?t=23

@EvilDragon Alternatively, please could you share your rescue card image so we can try to make that one ourselves? (ingoreis's image didn't work for me, but sounds like yours is different)

If you're dd-ing an image to the card, that will overwrite the partition table, so partitioning it first wouldn't make any difference. I was trying to get a rescue card from ED too. I guess he's too busy.

Yes, it does. Short tunnels of 2 screens or so, with a ladder at each end joining onto ladders on the main dungeon map.

My mistake about the speed. I must have skipped to later in the video, and then didn't notice that the game on the right was slowed down too! New game looks smoother than old game in slow-mo I guess!

In that video, the old game is laggy and blurred. Even compared with a good video, I think you need to play it on something like the original screen to see it how it was supposed to be. I commented on that here, though my photo just explains what's happening, and doesn't look too great itself...

This could be the post we were thinking of, but it was over a year ago, so maybe plans have changed since then: https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/open-pandora-faulty-lcd-cable-1-ghz.82142/#post-1427439

In the recent news post, the Pyra LCD cables are already made: https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/quick-update-and-summary.83536/

IIRC, they were priced a bit over 1 EUR in bulk. There are nearly 5000 in stock which aren't going anywhere very fast. It's not that I want to deprive ED of a few more of my euros, but psychologically, e.g. if I think they cost 2 EUR, I'm more comfortable "wasting" a few on trying things out...

I don't think this happened, right? (Or am I missing something?) I was sort of thinking about EXT again.

Hi ED, please can you have a look at my above post? (Hmm, looks like I abandoned my broken GHz Pandora in a cupboard for another year ;) )

From https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/what-have-you-bought-recently.76032/page-53#post-1447803 @Gren @matzesu How's it going for you? I never really noticed before, but it seems to be rounded pixels with gaps in between, on a black background. (And it's the same on a GBC, even though...

I hadn't used my backlit GBA for a while, and the Start button isn't working properly. I guess I'll need to open it and clean it out. The buttons on the old GBC aren't working too well either. Curiously, the tiny hiragana in Link's Awakening are way more legible on a real GBC/GBA!

A different supplier, but mine came refurbished with third-party rubber button pads which I disliked, and after a few weeks I got those swapped back for used original ones.

Try changing "https" to "git" in the URL.

I bought a backlight modded GBA a few years back, to use with my small collection of GBA/GBC games. IIRC, it said it was the same screen as what you get in the AGS-101 (with an adapter for the electrical connections). I just ordered a Japanese copy of Zelda Link's Awakening DX, so will see how...

Do I remember hearing something about getting them done at the same time as the Pyra ones?

I did actually mean screws that turn without coming out. And I have read that it's possible to drill out screws in a replaceable fashion, but I guess I didn't manage it! Can't even remember what the thing was. I guess it was a cheap one and I didn't care that much.
