It took years grabbing these as they've popped up for decent prices, just recently grabbed V to finish it off. Wish III had been released as a GBA cart.

Have you confirmed they are genuine?
Are counterfeit carts a concern?
Yeah gameboy games are commonly counterfeited. At best it'll be the same experience, but that's not guaranteed.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
I bought all the GBA FF games off eBay and only received counterfeit ones :-/ At least the ones I got don't have batteries in them. Saving makes the games freeze for a small time but other than that they are working.
Completed the FF V GBA counterfeit on a DS lite. Ended up playing through the DS versions of III and IV, also off eBay, which do not seem to be fakes fortunately.
Yes I have, I open up every cart I purchase used and give it a good clean before testing it in a system. They are all genuine carts (and the DS FFIII I bought new on release).
