It’s not freedom. It’s American power and if you don’t do what the US wants but want to be a sovereign nation you will get destroyed. Western media isn’t free. They can decide what country gets bombed into the Stone Age without facing any sanctions even lying about it. If another country has security concerns with American military power at their border they get smeared and if they decide not to back down get the same treatment as your country if they are lucky. Also democracy in the west is a joke. Since the media is bought and paid for and so are the algorithms it’s impossible to topple the ruling oligarchy by democratic means. Because you get destroyed and your life gets ruined. There are no free elections in the west since there is no free flow of information and there is no objective media. Democracy is a code word for US power and interests. What they mean by democracy is their rulership.

Where do you get it from?

[@blakryptonite1]

in b4 will my playstation roms work with it? In all seriousness, this is most likely a clone of the everdrive, which was mass produced in Shenzhen, china. Mass production drives down the costs substantially when combined with the fact that none of the profit margins have to go towards R&D.

Got it....so now I have around 1,300 downloaded games.....and....still cant quit playing Paperboy and Blades of Steel...which were my favorites before all those downloads.....lol.

One of my biggest regrets was spending 80 bucks on a 3ds flashcard, sky3ds just like a few weeks before switch lite was announced ... Now i play on on lite and 2dsxl with it's sky3ds is just collecting dust ...

Flashcards are not bad but I prefer original games (less chances to lose a save for example). But it's nice when you have two GameBoy to play two players games or to play translated roms with the need of making a cartmod.

Just checked, one year later and it's still hanging at around 25gbp on Aliexpress :) (yeah I know you meant it ironically :D)

[@ideastoragedb]

I got one around the same price (Jack I think with mario and yoshi on it) and it works with everything except my original gameboy. It's amazing....I'll never buy another game again.

[@hylianarmy0]

"Never buy a Game Boy game again." Sir, are you condoning piracy?

[@TooManyMonsters]

Do you think that any of the money of used Gameboy games goes to the developers and publishers?

[@bitelaserkhalif]

@@TooManyMonsters it goes to people putting it on Craigslist lol

[@DieHardjagged]

The times where developers and Nintendo made money of Game Boy modules are over since a few decades mate...

[@hylianarmy0]

No, but at the very least I don't have to worry about contributing to the problem. And I like supporting my local games shops.

I will buy the product to play games. But you have to seperate collecing games from playing games. Playing games is for everybody, collecting games is not just a kid or a stupid activity. It's also an investment, like buying stocks options... It holds a value. You can sometimes make money. And you can sell it if shit hit the fan. But when you live at your parents, I get that you don't fully understand this...

[@noahschreiber]

Honestly I am a game collector at a really smallish scale. With that said I collect gameboy, GBA, SNES, and n64 games and the reason I don't use flashcarts is because I like fixing up my games when they break which is why I buy a lot of broken games off ebay. I really don't know why I never wanted to use a flashcart or something for my games. I think the reason for that is computers are so nice you may as well play emulators and such if you are to use a flash cart especially with a gameboy just cause there are really nice emulators out there for it. I just can't figure out though why I have no desire to use flashcarts. I think there is a psychological factor of spending money on gameboy or any other game that is. This factor makes you want to play the game because you spent money on it and are well invested in the game itself. Another reason why I collect these carts is that they are always going up in price. They are an excellent investment for making money off them in the future. I also just like the history of the carts themselves and just looking at the components while worshipping its authenticity but that is just me. Thanks for the video! I might consider getting one.

ha love it! i remember as i kid i got a 21 in 1 game... was unreal bro! ill have to get a pic of it and send it to you , pokemon red / blue was the best in one cart :D

[@stixoimatizontas]

I got this on UKebay. tomorrow im getting it 99% The reason i bought it was to get make a save file with an (as legit as possible) celebi on pokemon crystal on my computer then copy that file on the SD card and then trade the celebi on my original silver cart. i guess (and hope) that it wont be a nightmare to find the folder with the save files :)

[@adampatten1149]

Modest Reshiram u got a link bro ?

[@stixoimatizontas]

@@adampatten1149 there is no availability from uk atm, but you can get one from china. Just type Everdrive GBC EDGB Game For GameBoy Color. By the way, the device works perfectly. Today i managed to make that save file work and traded from virtual crystal to my silver cart. i definitely recommend it :)

[@adampatten1149]

Modest Reshiram I found one on Ali express for £25 , how did u manage to get the save working , thanks

[@adampatten1149]

Modest Reshiram I just got my gameboy color today 😂

[@stixoimatizontas]

@@adampatten1149 peace of cake. at first i had some issues cos the rom for crystal wasnt included in the sd card and when i added it from my computer i couldnt see it on the gameboy. then i realised that its at the end of the list. roms should go to the GB or GBC folder (for gameboy and gameboy color respectively). Now about the saves; on the sd card the first folder has a subfolder with saves. this is where your saves live. from your pc you export a .sav file of the game you are playing, rename the extension to .srm and then copy that to the save folder on the SD card. the device should read it when you load the right game and everything will work like a charm. idk if you have done something like this in the past but i hope this was helpful.

What’s the tiny TV behind you, just curious because I collect old CRTs and it’s cute. Your tutorial on how to backlight the Gameboy Color inspired me to mod my lime green one.
