I recently picked up this and the Epilogue GB Operator. Still waiting for them to come but I think I will be happy with the Arduboy FX after watching your video.
Ok. I want one! It is soo cool! The doomlike game looks awesome AF! Rob, my bank account hates you. Edit: I am really curious about the one on the left, the gameduino I assume.
Just got mine in the mail! So excited preordered ages ago. Thanks for the great vid! Can't figure out if there is any way to back out of a game or if you just have to turn it off and then on again each time to switch games, you wouldn't happen to know would you?
Well, I just got one thanks to you letting me know that it exist. Is there a way to soft boot between games other than having to turn it on and off each time? Thanks.
Don't worry. Being anxious about on/off is a contemporary reaction to devices with complicated softwares which get corrupted due to random shutdowns. The arduboy being so retro and minimalistic can tolerate on/offs
Lol @ comparing it to a GameBoy. The GameBoy has more RAM, more onscreen colors, more hardware sprites, more background layers, more sound channels, more buttons, more peripherals, it can do multiplayer by linking 2 systems, and the GameBoy can support game files 10 times larger than any Arduboy game. So even if the Arduboy had been released in 1989, it would have no competition for the GameBoy. It can't play GameBoy games, but the GameBoy could play any Arduboy game and improve on it.
Do you know of any modern inexpensive clone gameboys that would be worth getting ? Ones that just run gameboy stuff, no need ot be able to run emulators of other consoles.
"Real gamers and gatekeepers"? Is that supposed to be pro-gatekeeping or anti-gatekeeping? I hate people who think they "own" the hobby and no one can join unless they have 20+ years of technical knowledge sooo...I hope it's the second one, gatekeeping sucks...
Only being able to load 1 game at a time like literally every console ever made in history makes me feel a bit embarrassed for you. How old are you? LOL.
Try A-maze (random maze game) and Tamaguino (Tamagotchi pet clone), I made these two :)
Wow
So cool my man
That intro was PURRFECT
Get it?
@@bluerunner556 Bwahahha!
Man I connect with your comedy you really make me laugh.
Great video as always thank you.
Thanks! Of course this means that you like Dad jokes!
I just got mine, today!
Sweet!

I had no idea a Space Taxi clone was made for Arduboy. Dang, maybe I need to flash mine. Or just get an FX because I'm lazy... :-P
The chip is super easy to do as well...
@@Retr0Rob I take it you missed the "lazy" part... :-P
Horror games such as Silent Hill Play Novel would be perfect for this system . And put Space Impact in there 💙
Looks like a cool little device for just under 60 bucks. How long does the battery last once fully charged,
Right around 8 hours according to mfg.
At-A-Boy. Starting out with fury puns.
I'm on fire today!
7:59 WTF?! It's in 3D??? Man I underestimated what arduino can do
Looks like my micro arcade Pac Man game it is small blue you can see inside.
Good eye! These guys make the micro arcades for SuperImpulse.
@@Retr0Rob cool
more arduboy vids please :>

Yup: That is the Gamebuino!
I missed this one.
Thx for a long review, im waiting it so long on this to deliver
btw FX don't need to setup before play?
No setup on this one: everything is pre-installed

Love the video gotta say they are going for way more than 60 bucks & is there spare parts for it because buttons wear out and maybe a color screen?
So is the Arduboy it’s own dedicated system? Is it now permanently unavailable? Thanks!
Right MEOW? Groan!!!
Well, I just got one thanks to you letting me know that it exist. Is there a way to soft boot between games other than having to turn it on and off each time? Thanks.
I don't think there is.
@@Retr0Rob Thanks for the reply.

Hold up and down at the same time.
@@hassaniqbal1420 Thank you. Great tip.
Imagine if this thing had multiplayer capabilities
It would be cool if it could play GBA games like supermario
Did you see that PowKitty ko'd the TrimUI?
Yeah, weird I was just looking at it a couple days ago. It looks kind of neat!
How can I order it to INDIA. How much day it will take to reach to me ..🙏🙏🙏🙏 reply
Have you tried directly from their website? Pretty sure they ship everywhere. Amazon also carries it. Stay safe over there!
@@Retr0Rob i think no!!!! Because last time I have checked it...
Can you go back to the main screen without rebooting it?
Cpe
how do i know if my arduboy is original?

Oh, it's sarcasm.
@@Retr0Rob Thx for clearing that up, there's so much toxicity on RUclips it's sometimes kinda hard to tell.

It was a neutral observation. It was not meant to be a personal attack. Sorry you feel that way.
