He might not have what you're looking for (IIRC your tastes are rather specific), but if he can, he'll certainly hook you up nicely.

Never saw this. I miss a lot of messages here.
Anyway: ACES.

I saw the thread on Groucho regarding your new set of wheels. Seriously, the thing is just like Cliffjumper, voiced by Casey Kasem.

There was no "Transformer" based on the Neon, but that was probably a good thing. They probably would have made Arcee, the female Transformer, based on the original stock model of the Neon and that would have crippled... a GENERATION!!!

I think I had that one, but it's probably in my parent's basement these days. Heh.

ANyone who thinks I'm "bragging" about this needs their fucking head examined.

I think it's important I hijack this thread about the GBA to make sure everyone here is playing Fire Emblem.

Well let's see my milky friend, looks like Flash2Advance is coming out with a new cart called "Ultra"
One of the new features is:

4. Utilize the latest and most precise hardware technology in the industry, to make sure it 100% compatible with all the saving functions with today's GBA, including saving 256K SRAM, 512K/1M FLASH, 4K/64K EEPROM. You will never need a software patch to modify the game (manually or automatically) before you write a FLASH CART.

Er, I thought the old one was supposed to do that? Whatever. I need another cart anyways.. 256mb sounds big but is really too small.

What's on the flash cart 2/6/04:

-Metroid: Zero Mission
This is a remake of the original Metroid for NES. You have a map, everything's all nice and slick. This is pure gaming pleasure.
-King of Fighters: EX2
For a quick brawl, nothing beats this game. Nice big characters, this is just as much fun as Street fighter 2 but on the little screen.
-Need for Speed: underground
Soon to be deleted, I threw this on there out of curiosity. I came to two conclusions:
1.) GBA is not suited for 3D. At all.
2.) If I hear that damn "lil john" song one more time I'm going to take some C4 to EA's offices and go straight to lil john's "crib" and he can say hello to my lil friend.

Metroid Zero Mission: Fricken awesome game. I agree!

Lord of the Rings, Return of the King: I prefer this over the new GBA Baldurs Gate. Better Graphics and smooth game play. Each character starts at a different place in the game.

Prince of Persia, Sands of Time: I keep looking for a better side scroller game on the GBA, and I can not find it. It is always a toss up between this game and Advance Wars. Looks like the Prince beat out world domination on this round of games on the cart.

For anyone who has a parallel linker, here's a procedure to fix the cable to be compatible with SP. I guess some people's didn't even work, mine was just flaky. I grabbed one and a piece of solder for a buck at the electronics store at the corner. Works perfect now - I wasn't looking forward to paying another $20 minimum to ship a goddamn USB cable to flash my cart with.

What's on the cart now:
-Metroid Zero mission (almost done)
-KOF:EX2 (kicks ass)
-Contra: Advance (boyee)
-Super Mario 3 (woot)

Time to upgrade a little. Anyone want to get one just to try, you should head on down to Ebay and pick this little fucker up.

Here it is:

Latest poop:

I bought Straw's GBA & Flash2Advance for the missus and am working my way through the headaches of figuring out all the best software to use, the settings, etc.

So far, the only game that's gotten a significant amount of playtime has been Mario vs Donkey Kong - good stuff.

Anyone feel like tossing out their top five favorite games? What should we be playing?

I understand that Advance Wars is pretty good. Other than that, ah.... Paperboy?

Ninja Cop (a.k.a Ninja Five-O) is my favourite game of this generation. It has been sadly neglected: It is all the best bits of all the best Genesis platformers put together, with a Ninja-Grappling-Rope that makes it the sweetest joy to maneuvre around the levels.

It is a thing of beauty.

And it is four megabytes.

Robb: I was gonna buy you a blue GBA-SP for finishing ND. Then I found out that customs was an asshole these days with their scanners and that my boss is more of a prick than I thought.

ICJ, though it's great, and pretty, maybe you should hold on for the DS? A lot of the great titles from the N64 are already being ported to it (including Snowboard Kids), and it's compatible with the GBA for all your Ninja Cop needs. I know you're not a graphics-whore or anything, but like me you enjoy the sumptious aswell as the well-playing. The nice graphics and backward compatibility would make me say "Wait." to you.

Plus: The price of the SP will drop, I am sure of that. It will be worth grabbing a DS and, if you don't like it, taking it back for an SP. This way you get all the great games aswell as the new-fangled 3D-and-touchscreen games for as long as you want to try them. Or, you can wait for the SP to drop and grab it, ignoring the DS: There is still going to be a lot of development for it because it's so cheap and easy to do. There's Ninja Cop and the X-Com/Final Fantasy fusion cuisine: Fire Emblem
