>b-but the gba library is just snes portsuh yeah native snes ports on the go is still epic in 2025
>>11988370it's not>what's notboth>what's bothboth of these nutz lmoa got em
>>11988370Yeah most of the ports suck ass and aren't worth bothering with>bu-but muh Mario Advance!Unquestionably worse versions of all the games. I know you have fond memories of playing Super Mario Advance 2 while your parents duked it out in divorce court but that doesn't mean its better than the SNES version.
not really. and the ones there are poor versions of the game. literally better off emulating the original snes games on something else.
Golden SunAstroboy Soma's CastlevaniaAdvance Wars Mario vs Donkey KongRivieraFFTAfucking goated system
>>11988370Ports that are inferior as some sort of compromise to be on a certain system are probably the only kind of video game to "age"Having the Mario Advance games on the go was amazing back then but these days you can just emulate the originals on your 3DS or some chinkheld
>he boughted the port machine
>>11988392it gives you a reason to collect all the dino coins and luigi adds replay valuethat and lttp alone make the system great
>>11988370Why does the SNES seem so much more grand and otherworldly than the GBA aesthetics-wise? Was it the OSTS or special effects that came be known with the system? Apparently, the GBA is more powerful than the SNES but I find that hard to believe. Because one is a console and the other is a handheld (which isnt to say that making a handheld thats stronger than a console is hard, per se, but on such short notice). Its hard to believe. SNES will always feel more grand, epic, and more powerful than the GBA to me. Perhaps its the Super FX chip associated with that one Star Fox game? I have no idea.
>>11988428It's the Sony sound chip mostly. Also most of the SNES ports on the GBA look, sound and play worse than their console version.
>>11988397>forgetting srw OG/2, aria of sorrow, both kirby games and advanced wars
>>11988370>Most of them suck..Oops
>>11988370My og gba has the power light flash red even with new batteries Anyone know the fix? Ive tried alcohol in the switch and on the battery contacts
>>11988428>Apparently, the GBA is more powerful than the SNES but I find that hard to believeThe GBA can do webm related without any additional hardware, or even this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igEUjEci-eg&t=190sThe SNES can't even do it with a Super FX chipBiggest problems with the GBA are the audio and the lower resolution
>>11988459And the Ugly color palettes due to Nintendo's greed and bottlenecking, if only they kept the same GBC type of screen, the main games wouldn't needed to get the bright wash.
>>11988504it is crazy how the gba screen is significantly harder to see than the gbc
>>11988548Nintendo basically did the shit they always did, bottleneck, the GBC screen wasn't the greatest either, but it was legit better, even if the games technically also used harsher overly saturated colors (not all of them tough) and the screen decolorization make them look "opaque and bright", they were still pretty visible unless it's a really rundown one with a very scratch glass.The GBA one on the other hand, it really was THAT BAD, and it was all because Nintendo wanted to be cheapstakes again and not paying the royalties to whoever did the GBC screens, but during development, many companies were using kits based on early proto versions of the GBA which likely had decent screens (personal speculation tough), and Nintendo at the last second they gave new orders to these people to "wash n bright" their games.Castlevania Circle of the Moon however being an anomaly cause it wasn't colorized around Nintendo's fuckup, but the funny thing is, it's overall color palette ain't really that dark when played on emulators, it's comparable to Rondo of Blood, but brighter then SCIV and SotN, so if only Nintendo used the GBC style screen for the GBA instead, the game wouldn't looked so murky and dark, but the final screen used it's what really make it look almost unplayable, because it was THAT BAD in quality.I remember someone posting some RetroArch screencaps of CotM and HoD with the GBC and GBC style color correcting shaders, and both look acceptable on the GBC one, then on the GBA one, the HoD one actually was color corrected in it's original form to begin with instead of using the original oversaturated look.
>>11988436I mentioned advance wars and castlevania. Haven't played the kirby games on the system or SRW. My mecha era was 2022 and 2023 where I captained a pirate ship for 2 years and pirated every non core world mech in the galaxy in the form the assembly metavault (AMV)
So because I actually don't wanna make another thread, how many GBA games actually had recolor or color options? Both default and romhack? And as for the latter, what are the best?
>>11988653Funny I mentioned that becausehttps://www.romhacking.net/hacks/7958/https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/9121/
>>11988392>Unquestionably worse versions of all the games.Nope. All Advance versions are arguably better except for SMA2, thanks to their additional content.
>>11988653>>11988679Some emulators or shaders allow you adjust the gamma and brightness of the image so you can kinda fix all GBA games yourself
>>11988681>additional content automatically makes a version betterIf that was the case then the Saturn version of SotN would be better than the PS1 version
>>11988687But mGBA on the Wii doesn't allow you to do that, and manual shaders only go so far to being honest.
>>11988370Can you stop already
Imagine how good the GBA library would have been if you could actually see the fucking screen.
>>11988956Are you really going to pretend the AGS-101 doesn't exist?
it's weird, I own multiple GBAs and a library of games, but I don't really remember any of them, they were all so forgettable
>>11988975I mean from the BEGINNING, you fucking R-tard.
>>11988989Cope
>>11988975Welp, GBA games still look like ass both in default and "color corrected" emulator colors
In my opinion the gba got one of the best library ever, you're full of great games and there's a good variety of genres.
>>11988370in 2025 you can just play the far superior snes originals on literally any mobile device/chinkheld/pc you can dream of. you could play a better version of alttp on a fucking 10 year old tablet then the GBA. >b-but touch screen controlsthis has been a solved issues for eons already.
>>11988428>Apparently, the GBA is more powerful than the SNES but I find that hard to believe.Good luck doing this on a SNES, even with a SuperFX: https://files.catbox.moe/g54esq.webm
>>11989112Why doesn't cat box player work on mobile?
>>11989136Does this one work? https://webmshare.com/play/PJNZ4
>>11989136ios has shit video support
>>11988681The extra content doesn’t make up for the screen crunch, the nauseatingly bright colors and the dreadful sound. I’ll relent a bit and say SMB 3 comes the closest but making a huge new set of levels for each game is what they should have been doing from for first game. In the original release they were locked behind Yet Another Ridiculous Nintendo Peripheral anyway
>>11988459goddammit it's so small it's fucking unnervingmakes me think of fucking smartphones
>>11989079have a game in mind?
>>11988956It was just an issue of light capture
>>11989487>Right GBA is literally dark even if turned onYou know, I think is just GBA screens dying over time, but I don't doubt they looked dark early on.
>>11990445it's a reflective display, turn it on in a dark room and its dark, turn it on outside on a sunny day and it's bright like you wouldn't believe
>>11989145Yes
It was never just SNES ports.Only you think that.
>>11990451>bright like you wouldn't believeYeah, that's called glare
>>11990458>blinding the camera with a strong reflection so it lowers the exposure and makes the screen look worseHere's how a Game Boy screen actually looks like
>>11990491Now with model 1 gba
>>11990491>why yes, I set up professional studio lighting to take a photograph of my gameboy and then try to pass that off as how it looks in realitybet you touched it up on post processing too
>>11990496
>>11990504nice ceiling faggot
>>11988403>boughted
>>11990510>>11990504Indoors in house please? No cheats
>>11990707
>>11990887lmao glare confirmed
>>11990445The original GBA had issues with capturing light, it was fixed on the sp model even though it’s the same screenIt has nothing to do with aging>>11990451If you have a good angle
Man I don't remember it being this bad, but yeah it was probably that bad. I don't know how I was able to play MMZ on a travel-bus at night with those little seat lights in the dark, weww.
Wow, every kid knew, without being told, that you just had to adjust the angle of the light for the screen to work well. People are so retarded nowadays.
>>11992931i knew that it sucked and was jealous of my friends sp
>>11990890>reflective surface>points light source into eyeslol
