Junkhead Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I've bought 4 FE games (along with a ton of other stuff), on eBay. One day, I just thought about getting them. Having had played them for years, on emulator, I think it was just about time I did. I bought FE6-9. FE9 is Japanese. I like Maniac Mode. Got them for neat prices, I suppose. Bought FE7 & 8 from the same seller, who sold them with the manual only (thinking of buying custom cases for them). FE9 JPN, I got it in complete condition, for $45 (Offered only -$3, lawl). Not incredibly cheap, but the way they're on demand...I'd say it was a catch. Saved about $16 from another seller, who had the game on auction. The last game I bought, was FE6, of course. Cartridge only, but hey- $17. Another catch, I'd say. Someone sell me the manual at least, plz. I don't have them with me, yet. But they've arrived at a friend's house, over at the U.S (going in over a week, for vacations). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkhead Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Thank you, SeverIan. I'm sure I will. Quite. The last time I went, at the start of 2012, it was gr9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkhead Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm not. Not yet, anyway. But, I'll be staying in Miami, FL. I always stop there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shauni Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Why wouldn't they be? People sell a LOT of fake gba games on ebay. Many of the sacred stones games I found on there were fakes when I last looked for it there a year ago. Here's a fake fe7 Here's a less common fake fe8 And a more common fake Beware the fakes.

Junkhead Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Oh...yeah, I've seen those around. The cartridges I've seen looked pretty legit, if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Yeah, people can easily fake GBA games, it seems. They can also easily sell you a copy that doesn't work right. I've run into this issue in GameStop twice, in fact, and with the same game. But I can show you a picture of real FE7 and FE8 cartridges though, if you want, since I have both. Just hope that that PoR (FE9) doesn't have too many scratches on it or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Uh, sure. It'll be helpful, I suppose. (: (show me them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refa Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Generally they wouldn't include the instruction manual with a duped cartridge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 It wouldn't be far-fetched. The GBA games I've had for years, I only kept the cartridge and their respective manuals. Well, at least that's the case for my Sonic games (some, I just got the cartridge, only). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Um, yeah that's the point. Your GBA games are all legit, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Yes, they are. I think the only 'fake' GBA I got is a Kirby game I bought over here. Came with a box, and it's a bit noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shauni Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Excuse me, he asked me. Now I went through the trouble of installing my phone's software and crap for nothing. teehee ;) The games you bought look pretty legit though so I doubt you'll have any problems with them (although be forewarned, the batteries on these things have been dying out for a while now.)

Tryhard Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Here's a fake fe7 Huh, guess I have a fake FE7 then. It worked fine for a long time, but now it can't save to any files. Edit: Well, it's the same image but it does have the logos like the real ones. Edited July 13, 2014 by Tryhard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Urgh...sorry for that. Eh, don't worry about it. :P At least you got to see some photos and I can easily move photos from my phone to my PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hopefully you have some sort of device that will allow you to bypass the region lock so you can actually play your Japanese Path of Radiance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Well, it's the same image but it does have the logos like the real ones. If it has that logo it's a fake. Other ways to tell are whether or not the screw in the back of the cartridge is Y-shaped or a generic one and by looking inside of the cartridge to see if the text "nintendo" is printed inside. If that's absent it's fake. You could also open one up. If a round, cheap looking battery is taped onto the chip, it's definitely fake.
