Hi,

nearly 10 years later, my GPH Caanoo might want to find a new home.

I have used it a lot between 2014 and 2017, but eventually, my New 3DS XL took over for both homebrew and overall gaming. It doesn't help, that i didn't have to commute to work anymore, no more daily long train trips.

In the meantime, i have bought myself a Pandora, which is more powerful anyway.

And if i had to buy another gaming handheld, i would go with the Steam Deck, in all honesty; Pyra and MNT Reform Pocket being very close.

It includes:

  • GPH Caanoo obviously - white version
  • USB charging cable
  • Additional replacement stylus
  • USB-Cable
  • USB/Video cable - I've tested the video-output, still works fine
  • 16GB SD card - i will miss this time capsule and my FF VII savestate, but i should rather start a new game anyway on a different console.

What i have noticed:

  • Battery charges as expected and can hold a charge for around 1-2 hours, probably even three hours, BUT it will discharge quickly. Charge it, leave it lying around for a week, it might not turn on again. OK, probably more like 2-3 weeks, but you get the idea.
  • The right shoulder button developed a crack. I glued it together again.

I have bought it nearly ten years ago here from another user here:

Price:

Shipping would be 5.99 EUR within Germany, which is roundabout the price i would pay with DHL for an insured 2KG package. Outside, it costs what DHL proposes.^^ Shipping to the US and other countries would also be possible.
If anyone wants to pick it up in person, i am in Munich/Augsburg currently.

I am not a fan of the prices floating around on Ebay - I wonder if anyone actually accepts them.

Not sure how much worth the GPH Caanoo in reality is, so i am open to any suggestion. :)

Feel free to PN me if you have any more questions.

Heh
i looked it up now, and wow you see offers in the 1000€ range for this device.
Who in their right mind would pay that?
 
Is it serviceable?
In terms of fixing the one shoulder button, i do not know.

That said, the GPH Caanoo has left the building - and me, after ten years. I dont even use my Pandora, modded New 3DS XL (the one with the IPS Panel) nor Switch that much. It was fun while it lasted.
 
Oh wow, that really bumped up the price in the end.
Not spectacular but still great these keep their value.
