Got all the handhelds out for a get together this morning:

It's been a while, very happy with this little lot.

LHS is Lynx 2, Game Gear, PS Vita, PSP, GP2X and GP32.

Middle is a no name handheld NES portable and a Hyper Mega Tech Taito Edition.

RHS is DSi XL, DS (Original), Gameboy Advance, Switch Lite and Neo Geo Pocket Colour.

Nice. Thinking about expanding the collection? An original 1989 Gameboy? They are not too expensive. Or a Gameboy Color / Pocket? But I guess you have a Gameboy Advance so maybe you don't need another Gameboy same goes for an Advance SP?

I'd like a Genesis Nomad which was the portable Megadrive (not released in UK) or an NEC Turbo Express (portable PC Engine) but they go for far too much £££

Bandai Wonderswan they are not too expensive but the SwanCrystal which is the best to get is £££

I have thought of an original Gameboy, but I suspect if I got another GB it would be an Advance SP. I had one a while back and loved it.

As for the Nomad and Turbo Express, yes I'd like them too, but price wise it really isn't on. I had looked briefly at the Wonderswan but it didn't catch my eye for some reason.

If you mean handhelds, hell yeah, that's just the ones I own, and I'm sure there's more out there.

It's great to see the GP32 there, from the look of the screen I'm guessing it's a blu or blu+?

Does it still work? I have three and they all have a damaged bios. I did the research to repair them but I haven't found the time, or courage, to have a go at fixing them yet!

Yes, it's a Blu and it does still work, it's been a great little console. The GP2x also still works, though I feel that although it was better specced than the GP32, it was a bit flawed, since battery life was so poor.

I have the original boxes for the GP32 & GP2X, plus the multiplayer adapter, also boxed for the GP32.

Good luck with repairing yours, is it a difficult procedure? Assuming that it's probably needing some SMD solder work, and BIOS flashing?

EDIT - I looked at the repair procedure, it's not too bad. Are you in the UK? I could probably do the repair if you are, I have all the tools, I'd just need to get the adapter for my programmer if I don't have one.

Well, I have a Wonderswan Colour Final Fantasy 2 Special Edition coming, and at under £70 I'd say it's a bargain :) Annoyingly the FlashMasta cart is currently unavailable so will have to wait for one of those.
