Great little machine honestly. Now like all other reviews when you play games like Pokemon on this it saves the game to the sd card in the back . Long story short you won't lose the save file that's already on the cartridge itself if you ever wanted to play this again on a Gameboy. Frame rate is smooth no lag. Only thing that I didn't care for is maybe the game was dirty but I tried out multiple Gameboy advance games and after inserting them a couple times I finally got them to work so if you think your games are clean go ahead and clean them again before trying in this system. Now the other thing is I thought the price was great for this. I paid 81 I didn't think that was horrible it was better than paying a 200+ for a Gameboy player so I recommend it

Bought this with the full understanding that the GBA aspect is a work-in-progress. Works with OBS, albeit with just-barely-noticeable latency, perhaps this has to do with piping through elgato. After unpackaging, I removed the included 512 MB SD card and updated it on PC using online directions to v1.2, and put it back in the slot. Hooked it up to Elgato PCIe card and started it up. Startup and loading is kind of pokey, but nothing I found too terrible. As a product, everything feels solid and well made. I don't mind if it takes another 6 months to get the software going. It's nice to be able to use GBA cartridges again, as I no longer have a GBA or DSLite

Mine arrived with a sticker on the box letting me know it was already updated to the 1.2 firmware. There is some load time, ironically - considering that these are game cartridges. I found the load times on firmware 1.2 to be significantly less than I've seen in video reviews of older firmware versions, but it could be I just tested with smaller games. I didn't notice any issues with the Gameboy Color or Gameboy Advance games I've played. Of my collection of around 20 Gameboy Advance games, only "Konami Arcade Advanced" did not work. My friend's 200-in-1 game multi-cart also did not work. For the price, I was surprised at the solid controller quality, and delighted by the long controller cable.

Gameboy color games work beautifully which is good. The games also use an SNES controller which feels like a natural fit for the Game Boy and Game Boy Advanced. This being said GBA support is very poor and Hyperkin doesn't seem to care. Yes GBA is only in Beta but if half the cartrages you put in don't even load and of those that do load about a quarter run so bad they are unplayable. Yes I love playing GBC games on it but it they should have spent more time finishing the beta on GBA and letting them run. The Hyperkin website has no updates since the first firmware update which allowed for GBA games to be playable in general (you will need to install new firmwareon the SD card to play GBA games at a playable framerate).

I was interested in this console as a nice way to play GBA carts on a modern TV. I like the small form factor of this unit but held off because I heard it had an issue playing GBA games properly, but I hear this updated version fixed alot of the issues so I took a chance and got it. I was very disappointed to learn it still has many issues playing GBA games. I ran into game freezes and not booting up properly. It also dumps the rom to play which leads to long load times and no way to use your saved files from the orginal cart. The controller is actually nice, but if you want to play GBA games on this unit...LOOK OUT!!

For a tiny console for Gameboy, Gameboy Color and Advance Games, this console can be able to play all the games; Compatibility from what I heard was fair: no repos or custom games. For a tiny console, it does a great job playing all the games at the right speed.

Let’s get the cat out of the bag. There are two major issues with this system one is the quality of emulation for GBA. It just doesn’t look great. I mean it is playable but I’ve find myself just pulling out an old handheld instead. only about 70% of my GBA carts work on this system. I do have some repo carts and plenty of proper carts. It is just a flip of a coin it it decides to work. The load time while it begins to emulate the cart is like an old school PS1 game. You will have time to make a bag of popcorn while it does it thing. Yep, I have other systems from this company and they all work great this one is just lack luster in comparison. It is all not just bad news. Set up is super easy. The build of console is very solid. The controller feel very natural and sturdy and cable is pretty long. Currently. I would recommend passing on this until they come out with a next generation of this system.
