A Package from China
I'd barely returned from vacation when a new package I'd been eagerly waiting for arrived.
1. WonderSwan Color Final Fantasy
I was missing just one WonderSwan version, and now that collection is complete. Time to write or film reviews of the consoles.
2. A pile of different Nintendo 3DS flashcarts.
When I made the video, I only touched briefly on 3DS flashcarts. Now I've managed to pick up the main varieties.
So now I'll have plenty to write about and show in a video :)
3. A few old Nintendo DS flashcarts.
The most interesting thing here is the Dummy Card, a blank for the Nintendo DS SLOT-1 (needed with FlashMe so the console can enter sleep mode).
By the way, NCard is a neat flashcart, but you can only write new games to it if you have the SLOT-2 GBA flashcart from the same set (which I unfortunately don't).
4. An ultra-rare device called GameWallet.
It lets you write games to Flash Advance flashcarts without a computer.
It turned out, though, that it needs a SmartCard memory card to work, and I've never owned one (they're rare). I ordered one from AliExpress.
5. Another ultra-rare item (though a little less rare than the one above) — GB Bridge.
It's an adapter for Flash Advance flashcarts that lets you run Game Boy and Game Boy Color games natively straight from a Flash Advance cart (essentially by changing the supplied voltage). It even lets you use Flash Advance carts — which are physically GBA cartridges — in original Game Boy and Game Boy Color consoles.
