    I had been wanting one of these for years, so I finally picked one up thanks to some Christmas money. I put in an IPS screen, some pads to fix the power button, a new lens, and got some rechargeable AA batteries. I have three games so far, Klonoa: Moonlight Museum, Digital Monster Ver. WonderSwan, and Final Fantasy IV. I’ve mostly been playing Klonoa, since it’s the main reason I wanted a WonderSwan in the first place (also all those Digimon games). I might get myself a Flash Masta next time they’re available to play some fan translations and maybe some more absurdly expensive titles.

    I bought a non working one a while back to try to repair! None of my local stores have any games though.

      Always nice to see old tech brought back from the dead. There’s a flash cart for the system for running roms. Lots of good fan translations!
