Shout out to the 001 SP

Long time listener, first time caller. I’m seeing arguments and discussions daily about the best/cheapest/most comfortable/best modded etc etc - way to play your Gameboy games. I just want to give a bit of appreciation to the unmodded, slightly rough and not very clicky - used condition, 001 SP.

For €60-90 you’re getting a capable machine that’ll play everything. My pearl pink 001 has given me hours of game play and all it’s had is a €10 Amazon battery and a button clean. I appreciate there’s better ways and I do have a couple of ips consoles myself but it’s been there for us for 20 years and I think it’s overlooked sometimes. It works well, it’s not terribly uncomfortable, not horribly expensive and you can see in the dark. Definitely not the best way to play but it’s certainly not the worst.

Thanks for the airtime, shoutout to the 001 and enjoy your gameboys dudes 👍
