Nice that your finally enjoying your micro Zing! I hear you about the noise though, it is annoying. I just play through the speakers at home and without sound when out or in bed with girlfriend. We just have to live with it. I still love the system more than any other system I've owned though...

I would not say a sock is the perfect carrying case - there is no shock protection - I am just using it until I find something better. Would be great if I could get something similar in 3mm neoprene that zipped up or had a flap top. Anyone got any recommendations?

Turns out I don't play with sound on much anyway & the whine does not bother me when I do. The sock was £2 from "The Carphone Warehouse" shop here in the uk but you will pick one up in any mobile phone shop, they are designed for phones but fit perfectly. The sock saved my phone while I was...

I prefer the term "Obssesive". ;) Big difference between vinyl stickers and an official molded piece of plastic that replaces the whole front of the micro & protects the screen. Which one you prefer is up to the individual, I want to rock the two-tone look and still have my pink faceplate in...

Did you try phoning them? It's possible they have more colors but have not updated their website. I would defo check before getting faceplates shipped around the world. Give them a call & report back. I was thinking about asking someone for a straight swap - black plate for a colour plate but...

I'm not keen on the whole skinning thing, don't like the look (Esp. DIY).Seen the uber expensive plates on ebay - there is no way I would pay £100 for one plate! Never thought about checking Nintendo directly (Thanks terpkristin) thought they had stopped supporting the micro ages ago.Here's...

(Just going to pretend you said DS/GBA in title) As I'm a cheap bastard I always stay one full generation behind the latest technology, usually picking up my hardware second-hand or occasionally new if it's heavily discounted (sometimes given for free too) a few months after the latest...

My last post got me in the mood for nostalgia so I've been playing gba Rebelstar. What a game! anyone who played turn-based tactical games in the early 90's will love this. It's just like lazer squad on the c64 & x-com on the pc but updated to include destructible enviroments, streamlined...

Yeah I would love some cool faceplates - even some plain black, white & red ones to two-tone my micro would be good. Would not have to worry about scratching my current one then. I have found only third-party cheap-looking ones so far, anyone bought any that are as good as the supplied...

Yeah, I am Loving mine way more than I thought I would. Its just so.... portable! Retro games are perfect on the go as well, there is a lot of Snes & Dos nostalgia on this system. You can still get the batteries on ebay and various specialist shops.

Was totally into DOS games back on my pentium 386. I own the Gameboy Micro so haven't looked into ds games, here's my nostalgia list for the gba: Adventure Broken Sword FPS Wolfenstien 3d Doom Doom II Duke nukem Platform Prince of persia Tactical Rebelstar (xcom) RPG Baldurs Gate I have...

Zing you posted while I was writing my last post and have totally put my mind at ease. Def nothing wrong with my micro then. I respect your opinion on the micro (don't understand the flame wars on consoles - not everyone likes the same things!) but I love the screen its just perfect for me. My...

Just had another look at my micro and the high-pitch sound is coming from the speaker too. I can hear it if I put my ear right to the speaker (yes I am super anal). Less inclined to think it is a defective unit now as it is not localized to the headphone port, looks like it is coming from the...

Nice to see there's love for the micro on these forums! Interesting stuff with the frequency links, I can hear the sample sounds no problem (I'm 30) and they sound just like the micro whine but ten times more annoying. Anyone else hear the whine? Found a novel way to protect the micro on it's...

Just bought a brand new - bright pink - Micro for £40 and am loving it. Zelda - Minish cap & King of fighters are my first games and are top class. I think something is wrong with the headphone socket though - there is a constant high pitched whine in the background which while not loud starts...
