My Game Gear is becoming unplayable

That adapter looks sweet. I wish a cheap clone console would make a slot. Why can't retron just make a console for Game Boy, Game Gear, Lynx, and Neo Geo Pocket for like 80-100 bucks?

And it's much easier playing these games on a television. I'd actually been looking for something like this for years. How does Sega not have an answer to the Super Boy? It's unconscionable! Hahahaha

Here she is in action, Star Wars is a great game btw...

The beauty of GG graphics on large screens just makes me happy https://www.instagram.com/p/B4tNqv7FNOX/

I've been playing some games from ROMs with the SG jailbreak until I can snag an official adapter.

Looking at that pic now, I should have checked the dither blending box. I forget to turn it on sometimes, and should really just save it in the settings at this point (just on its lowest setting helps a lot). It's just that on some games, that feature doesn't look right, but most of the time it helps tremendously. I was playing Xmen 2 Clone Wars over the weekend, and dither blending was a necessity.

But looking at Obi Wan's face, you can see the cross hatch pattern. That blends together nicely and looks much better with the dither blending mode turned on.

I didn't realize Star Wars on GG was kind of a Zillion clone. Pretty neat.

First thing i would do is get your gamegear recapped. It’s not exactly a beginner project, but i’m sure someone here could do it at a reasonable price.

rg350 and a game gear rom set and you'll have a very similar experience, with a better screen and controls.

Yeah they need to be recapped so often that I've just given up on playing mine.

My original Game Gear when I was a kid had a weird problem where the dpad constantly pressed right, so I could only play certain sidescrollers like Wonder Boy. If I played a racing game, the car would just go right into the ditch, and if it was a sidescroller that needed you to go both left and right, it wasn't playable. I still played Wonder Boy on it for years after the problem developed tho. Probably could fix it easily today if it hadn't been stolen.
