r/Gameboy

Rule 1: Be polite

Rudeness, namecalling, and/or hate speech of any kind are not welcome. Repeat offenders will be banned at moderator discretion.

Rule 2: Do not distribute copyrighted material

Do not publicly share ROM links or sites that illegally distribute copyrighted material. Homebrew and other aftermarket apps are allowed if the author permits it.

Rule 3: Stay on topic

This is a Game Boy subreddit. Related content includes the original Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance's. Occasional posts about fringe topics (Pokemon Mini, emulation devices, etc) may be acceptable, but will be removed if they become too frequent.

Rule 4: No buying/selling/trading

This subreddit isn't for sales or trading or valuation. No "whats it worth??" "did i get a good deal??".

Here are some resources for buying/selling/trading your Game Boy games and hardware: r/gameswap - trade games r/gamesale - buy/sell games r/gameboymarketplace - buy/sell modified Game Boy hardware the r/Gameboy discord server - buy/sell/trade on the #marketplace channel

Rule 5: Self-promotion is ok in moderation

Self-promotion of your site/product/channel isn't forbidden as long as it's done in good taste, and not too often. If we see that your reddit account or r/gameboy activity is overwhelmingly used for self-promotion, your posts will be removed. If any self-promoting post gets reported to the moderators in great numbers, moderators are unlikely to protect/defend it.

Rule 6: Post 'counterfeit cartridge' questions in the Fake Cart Thread

Because of the sheer numbers of posts that are made to ask this same question, we ask that you take these questions to the r/gameverifying subreddit, or to the 'Fake Cartridge Thread' linked on the sidebar. If the Automoderator incorrectly flags your post as a Fake Cartridge post, just message the moderators and we'll remove the Automoderator comment.

Rule 7: Use common sense

Moderators reserve the right to remove your post or take other action, even for things that are not expressly specified in the above rules. For example, spamming will result in moderator action, and nobody should be surprised when it does. If you have any questions or feedback, message the moderators and let us know!
