The difference between regular WS and WSC is somewhat obvious.

How about WSC and Swancrystal? Both cost exactly the same at Lik-sang...

"From WonderSwan Color
to SwanCrystal :
TFT Colored screen to enhance realism"

What does that mean, actually? Any other differences, besides the casing?

(Anyone even have one of these, either one? :lol: )

Any good games, non-japanese? Or "no matter if japanese"?

And where can one get these games? :)

Released in November 2002, the Bandai Swan Crystal was an update to the Wonderswan color and instead of using the FSTN color screen the Swan Crystal used a TFT color screen and was slightly smaller than the WSC. On the other hand, the Swan Crysal could play the WSC and the monochrome Wonder Swan games. The Swan Crystal was available in four colors: Skeleton Blue, Skeleton Black, Blue Violet and Red Wine. About 15 hours of play could be obtained from one AA battery.

Yeah, I have a Swan Crystal. It is actually a very nice screen, but my desperate lack of games stops me playing on it.

I have that One Piece beat em up, and two RPG type things I have no idea how to play.

I thought the Swan Crystal was Bandai's answer to the GBA... So there are no speed/power enhancements between the two?

I always wanted a Swan.. they looked so cool. I was upset when the thing never left Japan.

I suppose there isn't a flash-cart thingy for it? As there are translation to some of the games, but they seem to be only playable on an emulator... :(

Edit: There are flashlinkers, but they seem to be hard to find...

Baahhh... :D

About the only one I could find, and nowhere to be found... Where'd you get yours?

I believe there are few fighting games, not that I particularly care about those... But they are good in comparison to other fighting games, or so I'm told.

Few Rockman (Megaman) games, I'd imagine those are playable...

And I'd think something like Front Mission might be playable. I think the numbers for weapons and such are indeed numbers... And I know the story allready. :)

Or maybe I should start learning japanese? Arigato gosaimas! Watashi no watabe wakatta? (No idea what that means...) So desuka.

Hi, I've just received my swancrystal (from http://www.lik-sang.com) and I've no games yet.
If I try to power-up the console without cartridge inserted, the screen shows a lot of coloured vertical lines and the unit turns off.
Anyone can tell me if this is a normal behavior?
Thanks ad I apologize for my off-topic question.
Regards from Italy!
