Just seen news on new console for later this year. But looking back
I had GBA Sp & Gamecube. Have not got a Wii or Wii U. What is the full differance between the 2 consoles or is it just the controller? Should they make them backward compactible? I know you can play Gamecube games on Wii with the controller plugged & my super Wii Gamecube memory card which is massive with space for saves. But can you play them on other consoles? (ie on the Wii U)
Anyone got one of those GBA device where you can record a game on it to play?
Not played on 3DS yet.

The Wii U is the successor to the Wii, like the SNES was the successor to the NES or the PS4 to the PS3. It's backwards compatible with Wii games and accessories, anyone with a Wii can transfer their digital purchases to the Wii U - though the process is not as straightfoward as simply logging in with an account (you need both machines). Anyone got one of those GBA device where you can record a game on it to play? You mean something like a flashcart? I've got a Game Boy Everdrive that I've transferred my GB/SGB/GBC games to (aside from a couple with compatibility issues). There's a GBA one on the way at some point which I'll pick up.

I've never been a full on Nintendo fanboy but I do own an N64, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy Micro and an original DS. I did have a 3DS but sold it when it was still worth selling it because I wasn't using it and it part paid for a tablet.
The Wii didn't impress me like the N64 and GameCube did so I didn't bother with the Wii U. I don't have any flashcart/backup devices buy I did think about getting an R4 for the DS a while ago to play some home brew stuff. I think these days what with time being so short I'd just stick to the actual devices and the carts I own. Sometimes on holidays I do crack out the micro and the DS to continue games I didn't finish. The micro is a great in pocket console because it's so tiny.

I've owned a Wii since launch, but stopped using it after a while. This changed when I decided to hack it last year and install my Wii and Gamecube games onto an external 500GB USB disk. Having 50+ games (all legally purchased) available at the touch of a button significantly improves the experience of using the machine.
There's quite a few emulators and homebrew games, but there's nothing that jumps out at me in this area.

There's an interesting video on this at www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuJ5UuknsHU&ab_channel=aGameScout. The win specifically relates to the NTSC version of the NES game. Willis Gibson is the first person to beat the game using a documented bug that causes the game to crash on higher levels. The video suggests the ultimate win would be for someone to complete 255 levels of the game without triggering the game crash, after which the level count resets to 00. However, this is considered extremely difficult due to fall speed, colour combinations and chance of encountering the crash bug. The video shows the final level being completed using software tools.

I was baffled by the BBC article about this yesterday so thanks for sharing.

If beating a game equates to crashing it, I've beaten many computers, many time over the years. If I'd realised it was newsworthy, I'd be famous.

Donkey Kong and Pacman are two of the most notable examples of "kill screens" that are considered beating the game, whereby you've reached every possible level.
Crashing prior to this point Martin is sadly not the same thing.
Now RoboCop C64, that's an interesting one for discussion...
