Happy 25th Birthday to the Game Boy Advance! Feels weird that mGBA is roughly the age now that the GBA was when I first started working on it.
Reusing this photo I took 5 years ago.
Wait sorry only 3 years ago. I took it for this article: https://mgba.io/2023/04/03/mgba-turns-ten/
mGBA Turns Ten

Time sure does fly, huh? It’s been 10 years now since the very first commit to the mGBA git repository. And while you can read all about the early history of mGBA on the timeline page, I can assure you I had no expectation I’d still be working on this ten years later. But here we are, a decade later, and I’m still working on it.

@endrift are those reminiscent of the rgb pixels lol
@xyhhx those were the colors they had. The only arrangement that had any intent was the centermost 6
@endrift thats so good
@xyhhx I wondered if anyone would notice, but since they weren't pale I thought probably not
@endrift damn that’s a number. Like that feels simultaneously like a long time ago, and not that long ago.
@endrift This means that mine (Glacier, I bought my first soldering iron and a Dremel to install a frontlight kit) is 25 years old, then. Still works perfectly. It's an impressively good hardware design.
@endrift mGBA makes my life better at least once a week. Thank you.
@endrift Game Boy Advance SP was peak mobile gaming.
