Dang matt people have been wanting something like this for a while
This is so awesome :D
I wish I could buy this from you
I'm far too young to have had a Gameboy growing up, but I still can't resist watching this just to see your contagious cheerfulness!
Contaguious cheerfulness is Matt's middle name
As someone who had a Gameboy growing up, I can't decide if this comment makes me sad or not...
Wait i was just watching you when I saw the new video from Matt. Tf
Matt: "I now have a 3D printer"
Me: "So you can make sculptures from your grainy pictures!"
Matt: "so I can make a case"
Me: "Yes, that makes more sense"
oh great, I wasn't the only one
That's not even a bad idea though
When you said "now that I have a 3-d printer," I thought you were going to explain next how you started 3-d printing the Game Boy photos out of chocolate or something.
"Will it 3d print" channel coming soon
I mean, 3D printed lithophanes (sp?) are a thing... I'm sure there's definitely code to be written that sends your gameboy photos to a script that turns them into lithophanes, and then straight to a print server...
Or as a label on the 3D printed box!
I thought Matt was going to say that he got distracted from this project, by the new toy.
So great to see this passion project some out so neat.
This is the nichest of niche projects.
In other words perfectly suited to Matt Gray.
I had a goofy smile the whole time watching this. This is one of the most beautiful things i have seen in awhile Matt, thanks!
I absolutely need more videos of you tinkering with electronics.
ruclips.net/video/HKJULrDymEw/видео.html
@@MattGrayYES I think I saw the premiere of that. I'll probably rewatch it anyway,,, but I'd absolutely love to see more like this in the future.
It's a bit uncanny watching Matt Gray read of a script when i'm used to hearing how he talks in unscripted videos.
Oooh, so that's it. I was wondering why he sounded so weird
Please do make a profession out of Game Boy Colour photography and grow a niche community of people to obsessed with this medium
matt gray has the energy of your techy uncle who your parents think is kind of off the walls but is still allowed to hang out with you because of how much you’ve improved on your classes
This is really neat!! Thanks for sharing 😁
The world is a better place for having you and your enthusiasm in it. :)
Matt, you have a very pleasant speaking voice.
Glad you realized your Game Boy dream - it's satisfying to finally design & complete something that's been gnawing at you, isn't it? I've had a ladies' handbag in the back of my brain literally for decades, still missing bit of design...
Make it in its incomplete form and then see if inspiration strikes, or you can find someone to suggest what the missing piece is?
You are my hero. This is awesome!
Love it. Totally irrelevant to me, but I love the passion and the fact that you got it to work after so many years... What rocket launch was that?
Mars Odyssey possibly?
Legitimately impressed by this. Awesome work!
I was not expecting to see Matt on Hackaday!
This is cool! Sometimes we just want to keep our favourite older devices still working; And you've done a master class job with it.
This is so cool!! I can't believe you didn't accidentally delete the 20-year-old time lapse at any point in this process, haha
This is an S-Tier video for the posterity of one of the coolest devices ever made. Well done.
Clocked the pooleys flight training books on the bookcasee!
This is magnificent, I been fascinated by the game boy camera since forever, I need to get me another one to replace the one I lost years ago, thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! Getting the 3D printer really kicked off your passion projects! Though I enjoy modding and fiddling with the actual game boy a lot, I don't own nor care much for the gameboy printer. But for those who do, your project is brilliant! I'd be stoked if I knew something like this was possible if I were a Gameboy printer enthusiast. Great job, and thanks for sharing your project to the world!
Love this! Gotta love a passion project ☺️
My god, seeing the gameboy camera was a flashback to my childhood that I completely forgot, then you brought out the gameboy printer for round 2!
First you make color photos with it, next you make a wifi adapter. Knowing that people also made a Gameboy mine Bitcoin, it feels like we're close to Gameboy Instagram.
If it can run a Web server, then it's just a small matter of software, maybe even just scripting, to have it also upload the images direct to insta. It could happen immediately.
And then you come up with some kind of pass thru adaptor and a piggyback mount that allows the transfer device to sit on the back of the GB and slurp the photos out of the cart without taking it out of the machine, to cut down on the time and contact wear... Just turn off the game boy, turn on the photo box, and off it goes. Could even maybe make it detect whether the console is turned on or not (safety feature, as a side benefit) so it would access the cart to refresh the pictures in its own buffer as a priority thing any time the GB was turned off for more than a second or two, but the rest of the time it could continue to do its Web server and uploading thang...
Put a hotspot on your phone and you could take a picture with the setup and have it on the net within a matter of seconds.
If Gameboy Instagram becomes a thing, the site needs to be named InstaGB (pronounced instagib.)
@@Utoxin that's both genius and utterly terrible at the same time. Gold star.
That's brilliant!
Never had one of these growing up but picked one up recently. Been having fun with it and good to know there are ways to get the pictures off
Nice! I use the Mad Catz Camera Link cable and a computer with a physical parallel port (doesn't work with lpt-to-usb adapters). That kind of works, but it emulates a printer and the software is a mess and crashes after about fifteen photos. Not ideal, but it works.
Thanks for sharing the code and the design!
I was so excited when I saw this on Instagram, might have to make one for myself
you know it's gonna be good when it involves gameboys and raspberry pi
Amazing, congrats and thanks a lot!
Woah this is awesome
Absolutely brilliant
Hey Matt!! This is awesome!!!!! This is fantastic!!! A lot of impressive work!!!! Gratulation!!!
Brilliant retro-modern fusion!
This is so cool. I'm currently using an Arduino as a Game Boy Printer emulator, which allows me to plug in a Game Boy + Camera to my computer to dump the images one-at-a-time.
It works great, but something like a combination of that and your solution would be so amazing. I'm imaging a device that stays plugged into the Game Boy, and when you "print" inside the game, it actually dumps the image onto the device, and is accessible over WiFi for as long as the device is powered on. The UI would be almost exactly what you have here, but instead of needing a cart reader, and removing the Camera from the Game Boy, you'd just use a link cable from the Game Boy to the Raspberry Pi and leave the Camera attached to the Game Boy.
I have no idea how I'd do that though and I have no idea if it's even possible!
Really cool work man
Oh this is amazing Matt! Really happy for you and your gameboy
This is so awesome!
🤯, man, it is look really cool, your device and website, i really like the design
Beautiful. I'm familiar with a lot of neat projects for old Ataris in that scene using modern hardware, but I didn't know there was much for the good old GB... And I kinda think this takes it just a little further as its a fully independent box. Love it.
This is awesome!
Oh that is so very cool!!
Ive always thought the gameboy camera was rad but this is a level of cool I’m seriously considering investing in
These videos are wonderful! I love them. Keep it up
Well done.
Even though it is not quite the same thing, there is the option of plugging the camera into a gameboy adaptor for either a snes or gamecube (connected into a PC capture device) and then capturing photos straight to the PC.
Also, there are hardware gameboy (or snes) emulation devices that can plug in a game cartridge (and thereby gameboy game, and thereby the camera). They have an HDMI port. The retron5 is an example.
Why not take photos straight onto a gameboy emulator (a bit like virtualboy) on the pizero? That'd prevent wearing the old tech out too much. It'd be a retropie and then you do not squander a pizero on the one task. The risk being that temptation is there to dismantle the "Gameboy Camera Fast Wifi Adaptor" to salvage the pizero for another project. By making it a modded retropie instead, the functionality can stay intact preventing destruction while the retropie forever uses it. You can run psone games on a pizero.
So you put a screen on the box (and psone gamepad buttons, and a chatpad like the xbox360 has).
Absolutely amazing video
the real trouble is going to be gettign the game boy camera! great project!
They are all over eBay cheap too
Get some red, green, and blue color filters and you can possibly make yourself a gameboy color camera!
He did that already :)
Edit: ruclips.net/video/FPkJaEG-C_M/видео.html
The next logical step would be to integrate his process for taking color photos with the Gameboy camera with some code that can auto-magically transfer and combine the three filtered images into a single RGB one.
@@iododendron3416 Nice, he just needs smaller filters that can be easier mounted to the gameboy via some sort of 3d printed case.
Matt, you are amazing
Amazing
well done
This is very neat. Makes me want to try working on my old camera again, it uses serial and special software and I haven't a clue how to get it going again without building a Windows ME machine.
Use a virtual machine and pass through a USB to serial device.
Awesome!
Curious if this could be used to emulate other functions of the gameboy printer? Such as getting Prof. Oak certificates off the cartridge games
Awesome concept
My Fast Wifi Adapter specifically doesn't emulate game boy printer functions. It uses the GBxCart RW to download the save data.
You can buy a "WiFi printer" that you plug into the GB using a link cable (as if it's a normal GB printer) and it emulates the printer entirely. It creates a local network you can connect to, and save the photos from there.
@@Charky_Creations oh that's cool! Thanks for the tip
That nice Pocket Operator soundtrack though
Matt ...
you're a bloody genius!
this is hella neat.
Lov it.
It might be possible to use an ESP32S board instead of a Raspberry pi zero which should use less power and be a bit smaller. It would include the WiFi and Li-Ion charging features you need too.
That's really cool!
I don't have a Game Boy camera, but I do have a way of getting photos off it. I don't use a smartphone either, so this method probably wouldn't be an upgrade to me. I saw that the cameras actually aren't too expensive, I might get one!
ChipGlitch wasn't actually made on Game Boy, was it?
I spy Yayoi Kusama !! Can’t wait to see her work in the Tate this August :)
I’m hoping to get tickets when they’re next released!
This video proved to me that my Gameboy Printer wasn't broken, the prints really are that faint 😅
You could try replacing the thermal paper (if it is old it may have gone bad).
@@MidnightThunderYT Sadly I no longer have any of this, neither my Gameboy or any of the games and accessories 😕
Back then I didn't know what thermal paper even is, the printing seemed like magic to me 😅
I wrote a longwinded comment, but as per usual I deleted it... Love the project Matt, although I can't test it. Damn RUclips for going for clicks instead of user interests I guess (already subscribed and this is right up my alley)... But a sleeper is also nice to find :) Upload more so I can find them please, even if my engagement is low on some videos you always make me happy when I hear your voice :) .. Never mind, this was more longwinded than the first draft. I can't write stuff on the internet anymore... And edit: Never mind the first part of course
I myself also use the GBxCart RW like you discovered a couple of years ago.
Cool! :)
Have a nice weekend!
Now make the wii-u into a fully functioning PC somehow - also the wii fit, IDK make it do a thing. In fact turn the rolling rocker into something useful! MAHAHAAaaaa
Would it be possible to get a better photo of the power wiring between the LiPo board, switch, and Pi, please? Everything else looks pretty straighforward.
I love GameBoy camera: the sequel
wow. just wow.
Delightfuly Devious
Gray scale photos.
Nice.
Hi Matt, is there a circuit diagram on which pin to solder and where the wire runs? Not sure if I missed it.
Before the cellphone with camera in 4th quarter in 2000
Wish I still had my game boy camera now
This is probably going to come across as a really dumb question, but is it possible with this to put photos ON to the GB camera or is it one way only? Asking because I have a GB printer and that would let me print all sorts of cool things, and also let me put GB cam photos back onto the GB cam later for printing. Currently using the Arduino method here. This looks really cool though.
yes, using a GBcamera save file on mgba using the still image option. Upload that save file to a real gameboy camera (using a GBXcart rw) and then print.
Yes this very cool
Will I make it though? Hell nah, I don't have the patience, nor skill, nor 3d printer... And most importantly I don't have a Gameboy camera...
I didn’t say it wasn’t niche :D
I need this device. Can you put this on Amazon so I can buy it to dump my gameboy camera pictures.
There is a cart version on there but they want a ton of money for it.
You beatiful nerd!
blurring your search history, tisk tisk Matt
I really want to make this myself, but it's my first time working with a Raspberry Pi. What do I need to install to get it working or where do I need to put the files? I installed Raspberry Pi OS now and copied the files to the Pi, but no wifi network is showing up.
Matt, just so you know the audio is very bassy. Just letting you know for future videos if you use the same audio setup!
Sorry, real quick, did you make chipGlitch using the PO-20 arcade pocket operator
yep!
@@MattGrayYES i BLOODY KNEW IT! I have a few of the pocket operators, I love them, I've even made some stuff with them myself. Especially the arcade.
Let me know if you fancy a link. Also thanks for the response
I have very little practical knowledge regarding r-pis, could this be made to work with a wifi pico, which is actually available for a reasonable price now?
Nope. The pico is a microcontroller not a microcomputer. Yes, their nomenclature is silly.
Good Matt, lately there seems to be a shortage of the raspberry pi zero w model in my country, is it possible to load your modified software on other rapsberry models? Thanks
Yep it should work the same on any current raspberry pi model!
Someone should sell this
As a kid I worried if I took 30 photos that it wouldn’t take photos anymore 😂
(Like it would lock and wouldn’t let you delete pics)
Are you open to selling it? I'll buy it right now! I'm not good at diy things...
Can it also print out you slapping a person in the face with a salmon *suspiciously*
i just grabbed a gb operator instead much easier (for me) XD
This is cool, but why wouldn't you just make a filter that degraded the image quality on your phone?
how in the heck was this released in 2021
Ohhh can u make us one??
Nope. But I’d recommend this solution which is better:
ruclips.net/video/OeFE_wMHaNQ/видео.html
Awesome, can you sell me one of them mate?.....
No sooner as l posted above, he says he won't make and sell them... dude, there is quite a market for them.... 🤑🤑🤑
Ooh no views no comments no likes!
Heh, I'm the 420th like
