Articles
I wrote an article: What Consoles Did iQue Release?
And there's now an entire section on the history of Nintendo DS flashcarts. It includes four articles about PassMe, FlashMe, WiFiMe, and PassMe2.
P.S. On some Nintendo DS and iQue DS systems, flashing the firmware lets you enable four brightness levels just like on the NDS Lite :)
iQue GBASP Metroid
I couldn't resist and bought one. The rarest limited edition among all mass-produced GBA SP consoles :)
GBA Chobits
Turns out Arekanderu https://dtf.ru/u/62209-arekanderu has a complete-in-box Chobits console :0
Game Boy Advance Chobits edition
The GBA console photo catalog has grown a little more :)
P.S. Does anyone else have any limited editions complete in box? I'd love to expand the catalog :)
iQue
The remaining iQue consoles have finally arrived. Now I can make a video about iQue and Nintendo :) I just couldn't find an iQue DS or iQue Micro locally, so I had to order them from China.
WonderSwan
I've started collecting consoles from the WonderSwan family. I'm curious to see what they were like :)
I've already bought a WonderSwan Crystal, an original WonderSwan, and a Pocket Challenge.
A Purchase
I was digging around online looking for information about flashcarts and stumbled across a Belarusian equivalent of Avito through Google. Someone there was selling rare flashcarts that I'd almost never seen for sale.
The only problem was that it was in Belarus, and I didn't even know anyone there. But there are still good people in the world. Vroom Sim took the time to contact the seller, arrange a meeting, check everything, and then ship the carts to me! Thank you so much ❤️
So I ended up with some pretty rare flashcarts. The EZ-Flash IV Lite Deluxe Bundle, for example, is something I'd simply never seen for sale — not on eBay, not on Avito, and not on Chinese marketplaces.
Each one cost me 5,000 rubles, and I don't regret it one bit :)

Stargate
I got my hands on a Stargate flashcart for Nintendo 3DS systems. It turned out to be a pretty interesting device.
I wrote a short review/guide.
GBA SP All-in-One Build
Evgeny is continuing work on his all-in-one shell for the GBA SP.
“Here's how the custom shell project for the legendary Game Boy Advance SP is coming along. The project was started completely from scratch, without copying foreign designs, and everything was designed and manufactured in-house. The shell is milled from aircraft-grade aluminum, including the buttons and rear triggers, with a durable, environmentally friendly finish. An 1800 mAh battery has been installed.”

The History of WonderSwan
I'm planning to pick up some WonderSwan consoles. While that's in progress, I'm studying the history of the system.
