I didn't expect this amount of progress in such a short time, amazing. Great to already see a G&W emulator being developed, really looking forward to that.
Amazing work! Glad to hear y'all are planning to make Homebrew accessable for us non developers. I was worried this was gonna be too complicated for me to Homebrew considering you can't write through USB C like you could with the mini consoles.
Amazing work guys! Nintendo was not expecting this or they didn’t care. I really like the device, but for that price, they could have installed a decent Game and Watch game. That ball game i only played 5 seconds. I spent hours on the original Micky Mouse i own.
Nintendo should have at least also included that 1988 Super Mario Game & Watch game. That was really one of the best Game & Watch games and should have been on this. And I know this was done by a different company under a Nintendo licesne. But would have been cool if they had also put those Mario wristwatch games on this as well.
They should have included all the g&w single screen games and at least, super mario bros 88, donkey kong jr, balloon fight. And at least 20 different famous nes games.
I hope I will be able to turn this thing into an emulation device dedicated to G&W games at some point :) (or even pay someone to modify mine). It’s good to get video updates like this, thanks for the news ;).
Cool. Thanks for the update. I also have the full footprint/netlist populated and the board outline made in pcbnew as of yesterday (12/15). My goal is a 1:1 replica of the original design, and my schematic contains every jumper, test point, and bridged smd footprint :-) -Jake
Hands down, one of the best tech channels on youtube. Really great work. A G&W device and some of the hardware hacking tools mentioned in prev videos are being shipped to me. Can't wait:)
I'm most looking forward to the FPGA idea, I love the G&W design but the stock firmware is really quite lackluster. I'm also no good at soldering so a drop-in replacement board is ideal, and FPGA technology is amazing to me. You could even have an FPGA core for the stock processor, that would be some inception level shenanigans..
ITCM? The last time I dealt with any ITCM was when I was doing Nintendo DS Homebrew, the ARM9 had ITCM in there as fast memory to hold your instructions.
I KNEW this would happen. People kept telling me that they won't hack it because it wasn't worth the time. Its a Nintendo product, people love hacking these just because of the challenge. I can also see some money in a side business of modding these for people..if Nintendo doesn't squash it.
@@siskavard it would 100% need a hardware mod, aside from the USB port there's also the fact that the default memory is too small, it has to be enhanced.
Hmnn... This is collector item, if you wanted it as a nes/snes portable emulator (out of the box) you might as well loose your faith. This needs tons of workaround for that task.
This makes me ever more excited about owning my console. Just the base hardware is already so neat. Solid buttons, good screen and weighs next to nothing. I can see why you guys make the effort. this thing could be brilliant
They made the SWD lines available on five plated-through holes though. Maybe they're okay with the hardware hacking but have to do some minimal encryption to legally protect their IP.
@@Simply_CH23 In fact, GBA will be impossible because the STM32 microcontroller in the G&W is too slow to emulate the GBA at full-speed. A very slow PoC *might* be possible, but I doubt it'll ever run at full-speed.
Absolutely, though the problem with the SD card is throughput: The STM32 supports a memory mapped mode for SPI flashes, which is really fast and allows you to just run code from the flash. With SD-card you'd have to copy it into memory (of which we don't have much), or copy it to flash (causes flash wear) etc :)
@@stacksmashing I guess i spend too much time with low-end stm32 (f103c8) that i didn't that they can run code from external flash. Well, it was just an idea. Keep up with great work you are doing! This is already amazing as it is!
@@stacksmashing umm, that thing has over a megabyte of RAM, that should be plenty for such a small system. Nobody but the insane would expect it to run something like Crysis, but having more RAM than a stock Amiga 500 should make many things possible.
I have always wanted a new Game & Watch. This is the first time for me buying a mobile console early and being able to follow the hacking progress. However, I think I'll wait for a safer, more solid hacks.
The tech community is amazing. I don't own one. I don't want one. But I love seeing what you guys are doing. I saw a few for sale at Wal-Mart yesterday. I think they were around $50.
I hope you can extract the original easter egg image files from the original device, such as the one that shows up when you leave the device idle for a long time.
wow that's awesome its a shame this mod required completely revamping the existing hardware but the fact that someone is working on a game & watch emulator for this is very exciting.
The fact theres a solution for the lack of internal storage make this project 100 times more amazing, you guys from the homebrew community are soo amazing
I've incorporated mine into my Tesla Model S dashboard and added a 13 megajoules rail gun. I've also replaced the screen, PCB, case, and software with a Nintendo DS which I 3-D printed before replacing that with a laser storage array and quantum computer AI processor I managed to acquire after building a time machine and jumping into the year 2096 where I had to battle an advanced alien race who had enslaved mankind and forced us to move off world to the a base we created on the dark side of the moon. After defeating the alien overlords, I used their technology to break the laws of known physics and travel back in time to my my own timeline and decided to replace the laser array and quantum computing AI with a Game and Watch I found online. It was quite the journey.
You all are doing some amazing work. While I personally don't plan to mod mine, I love it when people find ways to enhance products. Mind you, I kinda want to see a retro gaming device with the same form factor as the Game & Watch, but with all of the buttons needed for SNES. And could you imagine someone making a Game & Watch style dual screen handheld that could play DS games? Frankly that would be amazing. Of course, that would probably have to wait until new types of batteries replace lithium.
@@megamanx466 I'll be honest, I like the idea of modding a GBA. The only issue I have is that I would like to have a plastic shell that was manufactured without a battery compartment, allowing optimum room for a flat internal rechargable lithium battery. Still, I brought up the DS because merging the dual screen Game & Watch asthetic with the DS really seems awesome to me. Kinda like if you could play Game Boy games on a device that looks like a Pokemon Pikachu virtual pet. And they did also have those Game Boy style Game & Watch keychains, though they only had 3 buttons and a D-Pad.
@@silversonic1 Yeah the looks of the GBA I wouldn't mind altering, because I never did like the original's look anyway. I think the ultimate be all portable system would be a PSP or Vita with those internal's hardware power, but modded to play anything. 😅
@@megamanx466 I admit that the Vita is pretty good. But soon enough the Switch Lite could end up being pretty awesome for the emulation scene. Of course, the Vita still wins on pocketability.
Really looking forward to this. Will probably wait until they have plug in boards or something you can swap in and be able to easily load up games. Also, I found out recently that they've some time ago reversed engineered the original Game & Watch games and recreated them in MAME I believe. It would be really cool if the community would be able to convert those MAME Game & Watch games to be able to load them onto this device and be able to play them. They may could even mode it to where you could put say the dual screen Zelda game on it too. As I believe you really only need one screen at a time, and then it could change screens to when you go up and fight the dragon. Maybe people in the know could pass these ideas along to the right people involved in this.
@@stacksmashing Thanks. I was referring to hoping they design the boards/chips or whatever to be able to work with the MAMA G&W stuff. As seeing developer content doesn't mean it will be developed further into something that is easy or practical to put on later by the general public.
@@siskavard yes I know and this is what I mean. It comes to a point to say: do you know what Nintendo? we do out own better one and sell it without firmware for the legal issues and people flash your firmware and trallaaalalalalal

The homebrew community is so amazing! but aw man, i wish the homebrew community will do all these for the 3DS, DS lite and GBA SP. I really want a 3DS that can play gba games with multiplayer natively.
What I'd like to see is the ROM's of both Super Mario Bros. and The Lost Levels, as they have definitely been modified. I haven't played Lost Levels on the thing yet, but Super Mario Bros. has an infinite lives cheat, keeps track of which worlds the player has been to, lets them choose which world to start in without needing to beat the game first, and you can select Hard Mode from the title screen after doing so. I'd like to have this version on my NES Classic to play with a proper controller.
My ideal hacks: separately choosable video and audio regions, swap G&W game with the proper one, hibernate feature. Might just get one of these to tinker with, give myself a reason to learn a bit of m7 and 6502 assembly.
Yes, you can now fit any NES game on there, even multiple ones. Where as the original chip might have only held the early black box titles one at a time.
Awesome with the 16mb chip we could have all the Mario games AND all the game and watch games. (well all the ones that don't exceed the buttons or screens) OH!!! and with the new pcb will there be a possibility that you guys can connect data to the USB type C?
I wonder whether it would be possible to make some sort of modchip that makes it so you can alter the flash memory via the data points on a replacement USBC port? That would mean we would be able to easily put our own ROMs on there without very much hassle, only requiring we open it up once (and probably do a bit of soldering).
We have some very smart cookies amongst us, just fascinating to watch these type of videos. Even though I dont understand the tech jargon but interesting. Cant wait to see what they think of next, can/will they port Crysis?
The homebrew community is amazing
I’m so glad there are people smarter than me working on this!
At this rate, yall will basically make the G&W fully open source

While there are easier devices to buy for the sake of emulation and homebrew. I love the idea of someone pulling this thig out and goig full ham.

Gameboy games?! Now we're talking. That looks so good on that screen.
I'm wondering how. The gameboy screen resolution is different than the NES, but it looks pixel perfect on that screen with no cropping or shrinking?
@@jeffmillett7332 The screen is probably scaled 2x but the bottom pixels of the screen are scaled 1x, essentially squishing them.

Amazing work you have all done.
I mean... the community plus you guys could probably create an own handheld gaming device instead :) but i guess thats not the goal here ;)
Interesting video
over my head, but still amazing!!
Don’t show so much info, Nintendo is watching, other channels face legal problem for showing how to brake consoles.
