First order from aliexpress.com + some other cool stuff.

OK. Let me throw a caveat or two.

Aliexpress has few to no problems in regards to video game related stores/sellers. The most dangerous section due to scammers are mobile phones and laptops, especially brand name ones like Samsung or Apple devices. I do not suggest buying anything close to those on Aliexpress or Alibaba.

I have bought multiple from Aliexpress and I didn't have any problems yet.

 

no different than ebay but...

Built in roms and save state support = emulator?

 

I wouldn't assume that you can put GBA carts into this thing, or even that the games loaded on it are GBA games...

 

I signed up for this but still yet to use it. I also have a few crappy Japanese games that need new homes. Since the move to the new house and setting it up, just don't have the time.

Would also need to find someplace to do labels etc.

One day....

 

The one I linked to was a plain gba not a sp.. They were $60usd for a backlit one.. I'll try to find them agian

 

They sell the backlit GBA for $70 from China on eBay, thanks to the prevalance of these mods recently. A while ago, a US seller was selling specially colored ones (Mario, Luigi, Link colors) for about $100.

 

I Downloaded the AliExpress IOS app, Better than the eBay one lol..

Making purchases is simpler too, click buy, pop in CC details (Ali don't seem to save any CC details [good and bad]) done, pops up on my CC account instantly.

I will note however, because the merchant service they use are based in UK, my bank charges a international transfer fee (27 cents for $8 purchase, not bad).

Made another order for a ps2 optical pickup today (pulled working/refurbished) too...

 

Didn't know aliexpress was selling fake eartbound carts, boy am I happy I splurged and bought a real copy of earthbound (just waiting for my cr2032 socket to come in).

 

I wonder if Aliexpress sells repro SNES or Famicom carts, consider they do sell Mega Drives.

 

Yes they do but of course they are fakes.

 

They sell fake repros?

Think my head just exploded.

 

i have seen real ones on ali before not many tho

 

I know this is semantics but.... Can you clarify by the meaning of "fake" ?

Does fake mean a counterfeit copy/reproduction? Or does this "fake" mean, it's not a real game, different game, etc?

I mean this is Aliexpress and a lot of the stuff in there come from China/Southeast Asia, so reproductions/clones are kind of expected....

 

By fake people mean the item is not official but a copy/bootleg of the original.

 

Yo dawg i heard you liked repros


So we did a repro of a repro, so you can repro while you repro

 

That was a terrible joke i apologise in advance

 

YO DAWG THAT IS FUNNY
