My GBC and GBASP:

GBC games: Pokemon Blue, Gold and Silver, Driver (is a shit).

GBASP: Pokemon RedFire, Pokemon Emerald, Advance Wars 2 (found in a shop as second hand long time before buying Pokemon RedFire), Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (is corrupt now, when you access the main menu it freezes, NOOOO).

Except Fire Emblem, the rest of the games and both consoles work perfectly (the data of Gold and Silver were wiped out due the accident of a cousin, my invincible team still alive in RedFire).

It runs Android 2.1 natively, has a bit more RAM than the G1 and about the same CPU, they should run fine.

Glory pics of my new card. Despite my denouncing nVIDIA, I was left with little choice since the HD 6950/6970 cards were either sold out or way overpriced. I later found out (much to my dismay) that 1) the VRAM chips had no contact with the heatsink and didn't even have heat spreaders (eww!), 2) RivaTuner wouldn't work with it (I had to use MSI Afterburner instead and sacrifice some features), 3) the count of temperature gauges plummeted from 7 on my previous card (Core, VRAM, Shader, Display IO, VRM1, VRM2, VRM3) to just 1 (Core). Oh boy. At least it's far quieter, though.

The one on top is my dead card. Pretty design and all, but the fan made my rig sound like it was harboring a jet in it.

Another angle.

Side profile. I really like it that the old card had gold-plated DVI connectors, they contrast well with the gunmetal port/vent cover (or whatever it's called). The new one looks fairly plain in comparison. :/

The new card, happily seated in its new home. Please excuse the wiring, I'm no expert at aesthetics. That awkward obelisk-like chunk of stiff cardboard is the result of my paranoia that the CPU heatsink's weight would eventually warp the motherboard.

Edit:
I got RivaTuner to at least recognize the card now by modifying RivaTuner.cfg to add device ID entries for the card, it's able to query the GPU core temperature now but it still fails to see the amount of VRAM available.
Apparently, Valve can't make games beyond the number 2.
I think the only time we'll get a Source SDK code update is when it starts having purchasable hats integrated, i.e. hatconomy.

Please do not make assumptions you are not knowledgeable enough to make - that just backfires on yourself.
Tick me off, and I'll be sure to give you the golden treatment. Haven't you heard? Silence is golden.

It's a directional (Yagi-Uda) antenna, a very basic one that everyone is able to make out of scrap material you can find in your house; Styrofoam and copper cable plus some basic tools.
