http://i.imgur.com/D5wmZu2.jpg How to spot GBA fakes:
* The "Game Boy Advance" logo has a too deep border, to narrow font, or a letter of the font is different
* The nintendo logo text on the label is too bold
* The ESRB logo has a different E (more slanted or too thin)
* There is a false or no ID like AGB-AZLE-USA
* The handle/grip at the top has an edge left and right at the front, whereas the original has a 100% smooth transition
* Vastly different label artwork than expected from the region it's supposed to come from (blurry label, repurposed box artwork, different symbols)
* Very cheap quality materials and printing
* No triwing screw at the back
* A significantly different cartridge color (there are very few exceptions like NES classics series, Pokemon, video...)
* The cartridge PCB is badly soldered and has a save battery whereas most games don't have one.
