You’re absolutely right, only the AGS 101 is backlit, my mistake!

Many options exist, depending on your budget:

• IPS screen mod for your GB, these are usually not too costly iirc ($60 USD?)
• GBA SP (AGS 001 is frontlit and AGS 101 is backlit), around the same budget for the former, the latter is more coveted and expensive. (EDIT - initial mistake, the GBA is not front/backlit)
• Open source cartreader to dump your carts and saves (and play ROMs wherever you want) - no idea about the budget tbh
• Analogue Pocket, it’s great but very likely overkill if all you want to do is play some GB games ($220 USD)
• Depending on how comfortable you are with downloading ROMs (and how ethical you feel that is, given you already have the games), you could just do that without spending a penny since GB games have been preserved and are easily accessible.

There’s also a handful of other options (GameCube GB Player, SNES Super GameBoy, etc), but that’s likely more consoles and accessories for you to purchase so I didn’t mention those in detail.

That’s mostly true, except for games made specifically harder so that you’d have to rent them multiple times (eg: ActRaiser 2 NTSC-U/C / SNES is much harder than its NTSC-J / SFC counterpart).

From everdrivestore.com, “What is an Everdrive?”:

An Everdrive is a flash cartridge that allows you to play games on your console. The cartridge is easy to use. You “drag and drop” files from your computer onto a * micro SD card that you insert into the Everdrive. When you turn on your console, a list of games will appear. With your controller, you select the title, and you’re done!

With a few useful keywords (you’ve got them), the literal first result of any search engine. 3DS hacking / custom firmware installation has been extensively documented and is quite straightforward.

I would say it’s more a “slow paced” methodical scrolling shmup than a bullet hell tbh. Most levels required a few retries for me, but there are some checkpoints and the timer is fairly generous imo, so you’re able to make progress consistently.

I’m having a blast with Pocky & Rocky Reshrined!

Great collection! I’m really jealous of the colourful spines on Switch cases haha, where did you get those?

Yeah, it’s pretty clear the Dock is only made for 16:9 displays, unfortunately :/
I’m not extremely hopeful Analogue will patch in enough features/fixes to make it absolutely worth it, as they don’t have a great track record with their “accessories” (the under-saturation of the DAC’s Composite/S-Video output not being directly fixed after so many years does not make me hopeful tbh).

Really nice setup :) I’ve been looking at the OG Xbox from afar, as the Series X is my first Xbox, so I have much to catch up on, but I’m really happy with the - admittedly very incomplete - backwards compatibility so far.

How have you been liking the dock so far? I’ve been pretty hesitant to pull the trigger on it given its price (or rather given shipping and duties/taxes to add on top, hu).
(Also, interesting way to stand up the - I’m guessing modded? - OG Xbox vertically, haha)
