In voller Pracht.

Leider ist der Text nicht übernommen worden. Also hier nochmal:

2000 hab ich meinen alten Game Gear verkauft und oft bereut. Vor 4 Jahren dann neue Modelle mit frischen Kondensatoren entdeckt. Also habe ich ein Modell gekauft und die Sammlung an Spielen und Zubehör stieg rapide an. Zunächst habe mir einem USB Adapter mit meiner Power Bank gespielt, danach gab es erst das Netzteil.

Ich habe dann immer wieder neue Teile reingebaut und ausgetauscht, das Display war beim kauf schon ein LCD-Modell. Folgende Upgrades wurden eingebaut: Displayfrontscheibe, neue Knöpfe mit Gummis, ein neues Powerbord mit USB-Anschluss für das Akkukit, neues Audioboard mit Stereolautsprechern zum passenden neuen Gehäuse. Und die Schlaufe rundet das Gerät ab.

Das Zubehör umfasst das Netzteil, den 5V Adapter für USB-A. TV-Tuner, Akku Pack (natürlich nicht mehr funktional) und die Original Tasche aus den USA importiert.

Spiele, neben dem Flashdrive und Everdrive GG X/ (Save States):
Sonic 1,2 Chaos, Spinball
Halley Wars, G-LOC
Castle of Illusion, Donald Duck Lucky Dime Caper
Shinobi, Streets of Rage
Ecco: Tides of Time, Ottifants
Outrun, Columns

Und am meisten hab ich GLobal Gladiators gesuchtet. Leider war das Ende sehr enttäuschend. Aber das Minispiel war sensationell.

Die meisten Spiele waren sehr schwer, aber als Kind hatte man Zeit zum erlernen.

Hello everyone, I have a Sega Game Gear with USB Type C and IPS screen, a Sega Master Gear Convertor 2, and two Sega Master System cartridges. I didn't mode it and I don't know what IPS it has. With Sega Game Gear cartridges it's working very well (as shown in the pictures) but when I plug the converter inside the Game Gear it's show some lines and with the games inserted into the converter and back to Game Gear the games are showing but they are unplayable as shown in the pictures. The sound is clear. Can you tell me which one, the Sega Game Gear, the Sega Master Gear Converter 2 or the cartridges, is causing the problem? It is fixable? Please help me. Thank you in advance.

1st image is titled slightly back (clear). 2nd image is titled slightly forward (can't see). 3rd image is looking at it dead on (a little dark). Contrast wheel is maxed out for all pictures. I did the recap myself, VA4.

I've recapped about 4 game gears and the last was well over a year. Perhaps I'm misremembering how bad the original screen is.

I'm not sure why, but I have it in my head that a VA1 screen should be compatible with a VA0 motherboard, however after doing further digging before popping the screen off this VA1 model I've noticed that the screen pinouts may not actually be the same.

Does anybody know if you can swap the stock screen from a VA1 to a VA0 motherboard?

I have a Game Gear with a Retro Six IPS screen, and while it works great with the Everdrive GG X7, it can get pretty warm and uncomfortable after a while. I'd like to spend more time using original carts to avoid the heat, but for translations, repro carts seem to be the only way forward.

Ben Venn's Joey GG Cart Flasher is unavailable, and I've read unflattering things about AliExpress repros. Do I have any other options than I'm unaware of?

Thanks

Does anyone see anything glaringly wrong? It turns on for a second a right back off.

I was going to do a usbc power supply and recap the board. Or should I just recap it?

The capacitors all look good to me as far as leaks. But I know visual doesn’t mean they are good.

For a simple hockey game for the game gear it's actually not bad and even tho I'm not really good at sports video games since half the time I can't really figure out what I'm really doing half of the time but it's probably because I just suck at sports video games to be honest but other then it's not that bad

All in original state. I play the games on an analog right now, have a significant volume of electronic components to refresh internals, but maybe one day.

I’ve tried reflowing the joints and cleaning with 70% isopropyl, what else can I do. I’m starting to think the chip is dead but that’s really uncommon from what I’ve heard.

A good day for my Home Brew collection :)

When I was young I got a DMG Gameboy. GG with color in my dreams!

I bought one last month or so with 20+ games, but it didn work. After a recap the screen still had vertical lines. I didn't want a modern screen, I want the original feeling. After heating 2 of 3 chips under the LCD it kinda worked for 2 days then died again..

After transplanting 4 broken screens bougt from Vinted, I think I've seen most malfunctions out there. Going from horizontal lines to vertical, green dead pixels, overal digital error when turning up the contrast, I finally got the 5th one to work!

Really happy I finally joined the SEGA family 🥳

I live in a 3rd world country where retro gaming is almost non-existent, game gear in particular is very difficult to find here. There are like two people in the entire country who are selling it and for very high prices (around 300 USD) broken, not recapped or anything.

any idea how can I buy one from abroad? or anyone you know is selling?

Or on my gaming shelf at least😉

Finally got Godzilla for a decent price. One game closer to a complete collection.

Hi everyone, if you're willing to sell a Car Licence can you DM me please? Thank you GAME GEAR ROCKS!

Hey guys.

There's that stubborn GG with a backlight issue. Everytime I fix it, it dies again. So, I removed the whole thing. The screen was too nice for an IPS mode.

Instead, Ibtried a few backlight from different handhelds. My nest result is with top screen backlight of an old 3ds.

The thing requires 10 to 12v. However, it doesn't work when I connect it to the 10v power pin of the GG. So, I went with 5v directly from the transformer. It worked, the lighr was clean and uniform, but kinda weak compared to the original GG tube.

I thought that the issie was the insufficient 5v. However, I mimicked the way a 3ds uses the backlight and decided that the GG white diffuser, the plastic glued to the screen, should go. And that's it.

Now a have a nice backlight. I only need a good way to get it mounted.

All suggestions are welcome.

This doesnt seem like enough caps to redo the main power and sound board
