My favorite ways to play GBA
by Amr (@siegarettes)
The GBA is one of my all time favorite consoles. With an iconic, pocketable form factor and an expansive library of games, I’m still finding ways to enjoy it, over twenty years after its release. And with so many different options to revisit that library, it can be easy to get wrapped up in finding the “perfect” way to play it. But the truth is, so much of the handheld experience is wrapped up in the hardware you play it on, that the best option is going to be different for each person.
So today I’m going to run through my favorite ways to play GBA, why I picked them, and what makes each great.
***
Before you start whipping out your wallet, look around your room, check your drawers, or dig through your garage and see if you’ve got a DS Lite hanging around.
This was my GBA standby for years, and it still remains a great option. With a great clamshell design, rechargeable batteries, a built-in backlight, and perfect compatibility thanks to its built-in GBA hardware, it’s an accessible and fuss-free way to revisit old titles. As a bonus it plays, ya know, DS games.
Audio output is clean, if a little bit low volume at times, but that can be fixed by pairing it with the right earbuds. The only real downsides are the aging hardware can make it a little harder to find good condition units, and the older screen and slightly higher resolution mean there’s slight ghosting and the image won’t fill the screen without stretching.
The DS might not have the fidelity of modern options, but it’s an off the shelf solution with nearly every feature you’d want, with minor compromise and zero setup.
***
If you want something closer to the original experience, a modded GBA can’t be beat. I prefer an original model GBA, since it’s less cramped than the SP. With a new lens and an IPS screen, and custom shells, you can get a unit looking nearly like new, with an image that easily outdoes the DS, and of course, has perfect compatibility and integer scaling.
The biggest drawback is by far the price. The components for modding are reasonable alone, but quickly add up, especially if you want options like rechargeable batteries, or a fix to the noisy GBA headphone jack. Power consumption rapidly becomes an issue as you add additional mods, or use a flashcart. At one point I thought I had bricked my console, but it turned out the combination of the increased power usage of my flashcart combined with the new screen was simply drawing more power than the depleted batteries could put out.
Even with those hassles and drawbacks, when I need that uncompromised, perfect compatibility, this is my personal favorite way to play GBA. Modern screens might give an experience closer to emulation than slightly blurred, washed out colors of unmodified hardware, but it looks so good it’s hard to make a fuss about it.
If you’re lucky to live in a place where you can access professional modding services, through Etsy, eBay or otherwise, you can buy a pre-modded GBA for not too much more than it’d cost to build it yourself, and save yourself the anxiety of trying not to break anything in the process.
I got mine from Gamechanger Mods in New York. They’ve got tons of fantastic custom colorways, and Greg was prompt and quick in making adjustments and sending the unit back and forth. Honestly, it was easily worth what I paid for it, but it’s difficult to recommend this option for anyone other than the most particular players.
***
For people not going for original hardware, emulation is the easiest and best option. There’s a bit of a preconception that emulation is inherently and noticeably worse, but with over 20 years of emulator development, emulation has progressed to the point where, with the right hardware and software, it’s near indistinguishable from the real thing. The process itself introduces some inherent latency, but unless you’re playing a rhythm game or you’re a speedrunner attempting frame perfect tricks, you probably won’t notice. In return you get an incredible suite of features and flexibility.
For my money, mGBA is hands down the best out there, with incredible accuracy and robust features that I didn’t even know I wanted. Tuned correctly, performance was even consistent enough for me to play games with tight timing, like Rhythm Heaven. It can’t make me good at them though.
I do have to shout out VisualBoy Advance though, which hit early and paved the way for a lot of future efforts. I was legit emulating games as I kept current with physical releases, thanks to VBA.
***
When I need a pocketable GBA emulator, to me the Anbernic 351P is the only option. The 351P has just enough power to run mGBA smoothly, with low latency, and just as importantly, has a screen that matches the GBA’s 3:2 aspect ratio, at a perfect 2X integer scale. Basically no other portable emulator can say that.
The shoulder buttons are similar to those on a GBA SP, but with microswitches and landscape form factor closer to the original GBA, as well as a good dpad, four responsive face buttons, dual analog sticks that click in, secondary shoulder buttons, and a rotary volume wheel.
The same factors that made it ideal for GBA compromise the other systems it can play, but it’s generally still adequate otherwise. On top of accurate emulation, you can even configure it for save states, rewind and fast forward, and remap the controls as you please, which is a godsend in difficult action games like Mega Man Zero.
The biggest problem is how much work you have to do to get it up and running. It’s not even worth using the stock firmware, and you might as well throw away the SD card it ships with, leaving you to flash a custom OS and load up your own SD card with ROMs, if you want it to meet what I’d consider the minimum standard for emulation. No matter what firmware you go with, you’ll be stuck with Retroarch, which is a miserable hassle to navigate, even after you get over the learning curve.
Quality control is hit and miss too. My first unit had its headphone jack come loose through regular use, and the replacement I was sent had the same issue, even after I took extreme care with it. I ended up opening it up and resoldering the joints myself to repair it, which should NOT be a required step.
Personally, the 351P is still by far the best portable emulator in terms of features, form factor and price, but it’s up to you if all that work is actually worth it.
***
Now if price is no issue, and you somehow don’t care about portable play, the MiSTer project offers an incredible suite of alternatives to emulation. While software emulation still has it beat in flexibility, accessibility and diversity of options, a lot of the common conveniences are here, bolstered by an FPGA solution that emulates the system at a hardware level. It’s probably one of the most accurate ways to play GBA, barring original hardware, and still cheaper than trying to get a GBA Player running on modern screen, or modding a GBA into console form.
There’s a lot to love in the MiSTer’s GBA core--from the infinite controller choices, micro adjustments you can make to the display and sound options, and even support for the same rewind, fast forward and save states you’d get elsewhere.
By far my favorite feature is the 2 player GBA core. It’s a bit of a pain to import and edit save data, but it’s otherwise one of the fastest ways to get GBA multiplayer up and running, without the need for two systems, carts or link cables. There are so many ways to display the two screens, including outputting the second player to a separate screen. It opened up the possibility to easily play a lot of the multiplayer modes I’d never had the chance to check out.
I legit brought my MiSTer to my local fighting game meetup and played loads of multiplayer GBA games, some for the first time. We tried everything from Sonic Battle to competitive Mega Man Battle Network. All with our own controllers or arcade sticks.
***
And those are all my favorite ways to play GBA!
Each of these are great options, but don’t get wrapped in thinking they’re the only choices.
Regardless of which way you choose to play the GBA, there’s an incredible library to dig into, with ways to personalize the experience to fit exactly the life you’re living.
The important part is to get out there, and play the damn games.

merry christmas!
Christmas truly is the time of giving. So, while you give us fantastic posts and marvelous characters to ogle at every single day, we went ahead and got a little something something for you as well! We dolled up the main for the occasion in our beautiful new theme that comes with lots of fun little gadgets that we explained for you under the cut. Happy holidays!
HOVER NAV – The links aren’t quite where they used to be anymore. To get to them now, you simply have to hover over the header image for them to be revealed. Like magic, huh?
THE EVENT ICON – The first icon in the top right corner of our header is our new event icon. By clicking on it, you will get a quick overview over our current (or upcoming) event with a direct link to bring you straight to the event post.
THE CLIMATE ICON – With people from pretty much all over the world gathered here, it can be a bit of hassle to keep track of the British weather. To help with that a little, we gave you a convenient little button to click on to show you the general climate of whatever season we are currently in.
THE VISION ICON – We always try our best to make this place as accessible as possible for everyone involved. So while we were on the topic of changing themes, we also gave you a quick button to click if the light font on a dark background ever becomes a little too straining on the eyes. By clicking it, the whole theme will change into a light colorway for you to switch to. Clicking again or navigating to another page will revert it into our nice dark mode standard.
OOC CALENDER - The calander at the bottom of our sidebars has a few bright pink numbers to help keep track of any important dates. This month, we have quite a few, so hover over them for a quick reminder of what’s coming up!

Fantastical Flutterbys
Honestly, I just felt like drawing some butterflies. My sketch consisted mostly of the general wing shapes and like, a vague indication of leaves, and I decided to wing (heh) the final designs. This is what happened!
The first colorway is made of my original placeholder colors. Something about it, though, felt really familiar- and then it hit me: I had used Limited Too’s old brand colors! Combined with the roundness of the designs, I was hit with a wave of nostalgia and decided to keep the colors.

Shoes Review: The New Balance 940v4 Review
The New Balance 940v4 is the latest iteration of the 940 franchise. Overpronating runners' first choice, these stability shoes are part of the range known for their enhanced stability. While running, runners with over-pronated motions have stated the pronation-correction capabilities of these premium stability shoes as very efficient. The 940 range of the New Balance has a reputation that pleases the crowd, passionate runners and casual wearers alike.
Is new Balance 940v4 Really Comfortable?
What are the main parameters runners evaluate while considering a good shoe in terms of comfort? Flexibility, breathability, and many more… Let's have a look at what the New Balance 940v4 has to offer.
Engineered to perfection, the synthetic upper renders a breathable environment for your feet to breathe in. In addition, the soft mesh upper has been designed with no visible stitching and looks fantastic. The no-sew upper makes it more sleek and snug.
How Does New Balance Cushions help Runners?
The New Balance 940v4 men's running shoes midsole features a full-length ABZORB foam. It gives ample cushioning and makes the shoes highly durable, just like its predecessors from the 940 range. The 940 range shoes have had a history of premium comfort with its users. Therefore, the New Balance 940v4 users could safely say that the enhanced ABZORB midsole is a significant upgrade compared to the 940v3.
The unmatched cushioning and the enhanced shock absorption allows the 940v4s to endure a whopping 12 mm drop and have motion control for athletes and joggers who like to sprint. This cushioning results from high-quality polyurethane and can work wonders for runners and all-day workers alike.
The Comparison: New Balance 940v3 vs 940v4
Durability, check. Cushioning, check. Style, check. These New Balance running shoes have been so far so good for users of all types. Regular users of the New Balance 940 range, and have used both the 3rd and 4th iteration of the franchise seem quite satisfied with the enhancements done to the v4. The technology and the cushioning, along with the performance are top-notch and have impressed the runners with the overall upgrade from the 940v3. Let us take a look at how these shoes pleased the crowd with their performance.
These running shoes feature a T Beam that is visible while looking at the outsole. So there is where all claims to stability come from. And as far as the whole 940 range of New Balance is concerned, they are known for their stability. The same goes with the 940v4, it has until now fulfilled all expectations. Users have claimed these shoes to be one of the best while considering stability and a super supportive fit. Along with the T Beam, these shoes possess the medial post of high-density foam that works on the correction of overpronation.
How to Choose New Balance 940v4 in Different sizes?
I was personally glad to see that the New Balance 940v4s are available in 10 to 18 sizes and four different widths to provide a custom fit-like feel to the runners. So, you can choose New Balance 940v4 in various sizes. Mind you, if you have big feet, worry not, again, these amazing running shoes cater to a broad group of sizes and keep comfort and perfect fit as a priority. According to some of the users, these shoes prevent their feet from wobbling inside. The users would love to buy their future variants. Though it is a bit of a heavy shoe, the users claimed that they didn't mind the extra weight because of the increased stability.
After all, looks do matter!
With aesthetics to please the eyes, the New Balance brings the 940v4 in striking colors like black and magnet. The look and overall design complement everyday runners and make your feet steal attention during a long casual day. In addition, the users seem to have liked the appearance of the 940v4. These shoes have a fun colorway, but the magnet color pops out the most.
Price-wise talking
Sitting at the New Balance's stability running shoe spectrum at the premium end of the New Balance, these shoes are a little bit on the higher side. They are priced in line with some of the top-rated New Balance's running shoes. But compared to clothes coming in the same price range, the 940v4 offers you more excellent stability packed with better technology, along with optimum control. Getting more bang for your buck is a worthwhile deal. So far, the reaction of the buyers has been reasonably positive towards the New Balance 940v4.
The wind-up
If you are an overpronator runner, then these shoes are a must-buy for you. Of course, fans of the 940 range, there is no second thought; after analyzing the predecessors' performance, you would undoubtedly go for the 940v4. And for those who are looking for an upgrade over their previous running shoes but yearn for better stability and durability, again, these running shoes have been designed for you. These modern shoes have been aimed at both traditional runners and their modern counterparts, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to performance. So, if you are on a slightly higher budget and check all the above boxes, this would be a good choice for you.

Angelic Pretty Best of 2019
Top 5:
Strawberry Doll JSK in White
Dream Cat Go Round Gray Special Set
Holy Rosary JSK in Ivory
Fruity Lemon JSK in White
Dream Bear OP in Black
Now that the new year is approaching soon, it’s time to look back at the Angelic Pretty print release ensemble of 2019. I wanted to pick my personal favorites from the 2019 releases. Previous years I have had separate categories for Pink and Lavender labels but this time I’ll only have one top 5 list including all the releases. I didn’t include the re-releases as they have been originally released earlier than 2019. I picked my favorite cut and colorway from each print release. This time I included also special sets.
I picked the Strawberry Doll JSK as the 2019 best Angelic Pretty piece. The print is sophisticated yet cute and the cut is beautiful and simple with just enough details like the little bows and lace on the bodice. The Dream Cat Go Round Gray Special Set OP: the gray colorway is everything you could hope for so I’m quite bummed this wasn’t part of the normal release and there is no JSK in Gray at all. This works so great in gray with delicate mint touches! It felt like many people weren’t appreciative of the fact that this was the 2019 Halloween print of Angelic Pretty so I feel like this release was underappreciated though the cat carousel theme is adorable. Just not very Halloween themed at all. Holy Rosary has huge crosses on it so it’s not everybody’s cup of tea, but how gorgeous and detailed those crosses are! The JSK cut is flattering on several body types compared to the too short bodice OP. All the colorways are beautiful but the ivory has this special delicate feel to it. It felt like a bit weird move to release the wine and navy colorways as limited releases, why not have them in the original normal release that only had black and ivory? The Fruity Lemon is the cutest Easter print ever made! Lemons and cute chicks, what more can you hope for? Well, a better OP cut would have been nice! Dream Bear OP has super cute teddy bear print and is perfect for the end of the year’s holiday season. As for so many other fantastic prints I hoped for better cuts. Again the OP is cute but the bodice seems way too short. Anyways for some people the super empire cuts might work so I guess it’s just not for everybody!
There have been some beautiful prints 2019, can’t wait to see what AP comes up next decade!

Video Game Review: Ori and the Will of the Wisp
While art is subjective, one would have a difficult time finding many, if any, negative things to say about Moon Studio’s Ori and the Blind Forest. With a heart breaking and heartwarming story, tight controls, satisfyingly challenging platforming, gorgeous graphics, and one of the best gaming soundtracks this generation, Ori and the Blind Forest made a mark. And when making a sequel to such a feat, it would seem easy or even wise to recreate what was already done. And while Moon Studios did not try to fix what was not broken, new parts were added to make a sequel that, while not surpassing its predecessor, is equally as epic and emotionally grabbing.
Whether you’re a new player or returning, the atmosphere of Ori and the Will of the Wisp, just as its predecessor, is an immediate standout. Before even beginning the game, the start screen alone conveys the tone perfectly with bright and warm colors with the calming sound of trees accompanied by an empowering, beautiful, and a yet haunting score. Players are then introduced to Ori, along with other returning characters Naru, Gumo, and the owlet briefly introduced in Blind Forest, who is now known as Ku. The story centers around Ku and Ori’s quest to save her when the two are separated during a storm. From there, a journey of rescue, terror, courage, love, and family are put in motion. And yet again, the storytelling is top-notch.
Impactful storytelling in Will of the Wisp, as with Blind Forest, has more to do with what surrounds the characters than the characters themselves. Don’t get me wrong, the characters are great. However, just as in Blind Forest, none of the main characters speak. Their emotions are conveyed through facial and body expression. But along with character actions, the atmosphere, such as the color scheme, level design, and music are just as crucial to conveying how characters are feeling, and just how on edge players should feel during certain sections. For instance, while still a tough area, like many are in Will of the Wisp, the calming music along with the popping bright blue and pink colors of the Luma Pools are much more inviting than the darker and more bleak colorway of the Mouldwood Depths. The music In the Mouldwood Depths represents this as well. While the area can be tough with more terrifying enemies than an area like the Luma Pools, instead of presenting fear, the music represents sadness for the forest as the decay and destruction are laid bare while traversing its landscape. But even with another great story with rich themes, it would all be for nothing if the gameplay was not solid. And fortunately, Will of the Wisp builds on what was done in Bind Forest.
Like its predecessor, the Metroidvania style format returns. Players will once again start off with minimal skills while acquiring more overtime to defeat tougher enemies, and reach areas in the map previously locked away due to not having the ability needed to reach it. Players will acquire the primary skills necessary to progress by collecting them from trees located throughout the game, just as in Blind forest. Other skills this time around, such as attack damage increases, damage reduction, and enemy orb drop rates are acquired by NPCs (non-player character), with some also able to be found throughout the map as well. I do not have any strong feelings towards this change either positively or negatively, as it did not have much of an impact either way from my experience. Many of the acquired NPC skills are shards players can equip, which are different than the energy usage skills that are more integral to progression. By the end of my, 17-hour playthrough I was still missing 10 out of 31 shards. While Some are useful, such as being able to hang onto walls, or jumping twice in mid-air, none of them were really game-changing. However, the addition of NPCs does make the world feel even more alive due to the interactions players will have with them. NPCs offer side quest, which is also new to the game.
One significant change returning players may be mixed on is the move to an autosave system. Previously, players were able to save the game wherever they choose as long as they still had the energy to spare. Energy, just like in Will of the Wisp, is also used to fill up the health bar and still used for energy attacks. This time around, the game automatically saves for you. While not being a major plus or minus, I’m still not sure how I feel about this choice. Honestly, there were several occasions where it was useful. Previously in Blind Forest, I would sometimes forget to save right before a tricky platforming section to have to start farther back because I forgot about the save mechanic. Forgetting to do so always added an extra level of frustration, but it was also welcomed. Just like its tight and responsive controls that always make me feel like I mistimed a jump or an enemy attack instead of blaming the game itself, having to save the game myself also made me feel that sort of responsibility; Especially during sections in a Blind Forest when I was not sure to use the last bit of energy on a particular attack to defeat an enemy(s) or save not knowing how difficult an upcoming section would be. Having an autosave mechanic took away an aspect of the game that I did find myself missing at times. But with trial and error being a big part of the gameplay, for a lot of players, and even a few times during my playthrough, the autosave feature can be useful.
Making a worthy sequel to such a critically acclaimed piece of art is tough. But Moon Studios once again delivered a fantastic game that will pull on many emotions of its players. The tremendous and yet simple story of love, family, and courage is an impactful rollercoaster ride. And the addictive tight and responsive gameplay from the opening jump along with the feel of progression and discovery is enough for Will of the Wisp to be a worthy sequel. While some decisions may have a mixed response, while not progressing the series forward, are not anything game-breaking, while still providing yet another fantastic experience in Moon Studio’s epic franchise.
8.5/10

Robots Will Kill “Be Still My Heart” Edition Vinyl Figure by Chris RWK x Clutter
Clutter is super excited to bring you a brand new Robots Will Kill vinyl figure release in collaboration with renowned street artist, Chris RWK! This new take on Chris RWK’s iconic Robot looks fantastic. To keep the look of the Robot’s signature skinny arms and legs, Clutter opted to produce this figure in ABS injection molded plastic. This hard plastic will not bend over time like softer vinyl options and keeps the feel of robot fingers and antenna. What’s even cooler about this release is that the Robots Will Kill vinyl figure will be produced in two different designs – “arms down” and “with sign”! As Clutter explained, “We initially created the figure with the idea of making the arms interchangeable, but after designing both, we didn't want to add a possible point of failure or breaking - so we opted for two independent figures! We felt like this icon of street art was too important not to create both, showcasing both designs that go perfectly together!” These will be available individually or as a set. For it’s first release, this new Robots Will Kill vinyl figure will be released in a The Simpsons inspired colorway, the “Be Still My Heart” Edition! This Clutter exclusive release stands 7.5” tall and features 1 point of articulation (at the neck for the head to move). The sign is reversible, but take extra care when removing the sign so as not to snap the fingers. Each version is packaged individually in a window box, and is limited to just 50 pieces. The Arms Down Version retails for $100, while the Holding Sign Version retails for $115. Collectors can also purchase both figures for the discounted price of $200 exclusively at Clutter.co. http://dlvr.it/Szy6W6

22. what would you say to your future self?
That might depend on what my future self wanted or needed to hear. Like, maybe she’d need reminders of good things from this time period, or maybe she’d need reminders of bad things that she’s finally gotten past or that have improved. But either way we’d probably bond a bit over things that are STILL a pain in the butt in the future with “can you believe this isn’t better yet?? oh my GOD!” type banter. lol
23. favorite piece of clothing?
This is hard to narrow down... as a way of making sure doing laundry is rewarding, I’ve gotten rid of all but my favorite stuff and everything I buy is stuff I’m EMOTIONAL over. So here are a few (i edited the post to include pictures yaaaay!):
A half-length sleeve raglan tee from torrid that’s black with a red plaid pattern & skulls on the sleeves and it’s SUPER comfy and matches everything and I adore it.
I have the same No-Face sweater Dan does and it’s fantastic.
A black & white striped woven tunic top with a big cat face doodle on it. It says “Say Hello!” and the exclamation point has no dot. I have two of this shirt because I like it so much. i wear it with hot pink leggings. It is great.
My two pairs of Nike AirMax 97s, one sky blue with black & red detail, the other black with red & leopard print detail. They are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned and I love their sort of y2k look. The shape of the 97s doesn’t work with all colorways, imo i have two of the best ones (aside from the Shanghai Kaleidoscopes that were released last summer, but they were super limited and go for like $450-700 resale, I will NEVER own them. *sob*)
26. what movie would you want to live in?
I can’t remember the last time I wanted to live in a movie, honestly. Nearly every movie with an aesthetic I’d feel comfy in has horrifying systemic issues and/or magic users with poor moral fiber that would make my life very scary and anxiety-inducing all the time... so basically nothing would be an improvement over my current reality, but in my current reality I can at least redecorate my office or edit my animal crossing island. XD

The City full backs gave a good account of themselves but when both were cautioned in the shadows of half time it suggested the floodgates were starting to creak. I took another day to sit with my thoughts. Surely the most player thing I ever did was sing "Red Light Special" to a girl while sitting at my family's kitchen table on the house phone hoping no one else in the family would hear me. Despite his messy split with the Giants, Coughlin is still one of the top football minds out there. The shot bounced its was back coach factory outlet online to the feet of Press who proceded to take another shot that ricocheted again out of the hands of Bledsoe.

But the 18 year old ability to whip off five different quad jumps makes him a favorite to win individual gold in the PyeongChang Games.. Collingwood, meanwhile, was led by Alex Fasolo superb four goal first half, and a hard running midfield of Taylor Adams, Adam Treloar, Hoskin Elliott and the ageless Scott Pendlebury. The Bills offense continued its anemic ways in being held to under 7 points for the fourth time this season once more than that happened from 2013 17. BURNIE UNITED: A former referee coaching Burnie United sounds like a recipe for disaster but Tony Cocker said his welcome had been fantastic. It is very rare that a basketball game is ended early.
