For all you techno-whizzes

The boys have a GBA each, and I have found some games for them, at much less than UK prices. They state they will run on "all Regions" GBAs. The question is, how on earth do I know if their GBa's are All Region ones?????

 

Why am I not surprised!!!!! :rolleyes:

 

Should say in the brochure or manual - usually under the "Technical Specifications" at the back of the book. I believe region 1 is the US, 2 is Europe and 4 is Australia.

For those who don't know, regions applies to areas where dvds and stuff can be played. Those nasty manufacturers came up with this sneeky way of stopping us buying cheap from abroad but many dvd players nowadays will play "all regions" anyway!! To check if yours can (or can't as the case may be) also lookin the back of the manual.

Didn't realise they'd done it on Game Boys as well!!

Have a look at this website which is informative.
