@@3DSage Yo man, I really want to congratulate you on doing this insane project. It's crazy. But I think you are missing something, and that something is making this project open-source, or at least publicly available. I've been trying to learn 3d programming (using DevKitARM) on the GBA, and this would be a really helpful resource if made public. I (and anyone else) could learn so much from it. Making a simple showcase is really cool, but it does not help people who are inspired by your content to go out and make their own stuff. Even putting some resources in the description would help.
There are some homebrew versions of minecraft for O3DS. It's just that actual Minecraft is far more complicated than that homebrew and especially this GBA port and so consequently needs the N3DS's significant power increase.
I think the main issue would be the controls, ignoring the graphical limitations (which this guy clearly doesn't give a fuck about lol). I have no idea how he made THIS work, but since Terraria uses a mouse normally, and dual sticks on console, how would you map movement of the player and the cursor, AND have buttons left over for placing and breaking, and selecting a tool/tile?
Caroline Bell obviously like this Minecraft build. An very vey stripped down version. I think if you simply it enough an terraria like game with an very limited amount of items and still being able to destroy everything and just an couple of boss fights and enemies could be an actual enjoyable game. And if you make it different enough in look and branding it probably wouldn’t get copyrighted.
Caroline Bell Do it like the 3ds and mobile version’s simplified controls. Dpad moves the player and the cursor in that direction. Up let’s you jump, the L and R buttons move across the inventory. A can be attack or break if you have a weapon or tool. B can be to place something if there’s a block in your inventory. And start can access your inventory which lets you access settings while select can give you that precise pointer thing letting you move the cursor manually while not being able to move on your own

RELEASE THE ROM. ITS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS PROBABLY FAKED BECAUSE YOUVE REPLIED TO LIKE RANDOM 2 LIKE COMMENTS AND HAVENT EVEN COMMENTED ON THE TOP ONE ABOUT RELEASING IT
Insanely impressive. Its a shame texture mapping true 3D polyons is extremely taxing. Only a few commercial games pulled it off well and many heavily relied on sprites. Keep going with this dude! YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE: The GBA sorely lacked a flight simulator that wasn't sprite based. If you could create a simple map with some hills, a runway, 4 sided polygons for cones for trees and actually program a simple flight model (not accurate, arcade like would be fine), that would be awesome. Im curious what approach you might take for it. Navigating 3D space that rotates polygons in realtime would look super impressive. A good nod to early 1980's where literally every new PC had to have a flight sim to be considered powerful. Your choice, first person or chase cam with a low poly plane. No guages or instruments necessary. Visual Example I quickly mocked up in Blender: imgur.com/gJ6Nugz Control scheme: A = Increase throttle B = Decrease throttle L+R = Brakes (ground) L = Yaw Left R = Yaw Right Dpad = Pitch / Roll Select = Flaps (cycle on/off to keep it simple) Start = pause Should you accept, good luck. Im not even sure its possible. If you do it- easily one of the best homebrew hardware pushers.
Thank you! And wow that is a great idea! I like the details you have here. That would be fun to make. I will keep you updated if I make progress on that. :)
There are quite a lot of full and pseudo 3d games on the gba. Some current game studios developed their first 3d engines on it, if not for the ps1. Since the gba was one off the first gaming systems that used an arm processor, some of the engines developed for the gba were also used for nokia symbian devices, windows mobile and early android mobile games. Nokia symbian phones used basically the same cpu as the gba but with better displays and they had 3d games developed for them as well. The nintendo ds, dsi and 3ds also used just standalone arm processors(10-20 times as fast with way more memory compared to the gba), but still - no dedicated 3d acceleration as opposed to the sony psp which had a tiny but fast separate gpu.
yes man Binding of Isaac the game that almost took my entire life next to fire emblem awakening, I just need to finish that son of gun's DLC and also its spotpass chapters
@@unknown-vy2iu Doom isn't really "fully 3D" it's just an advanced raycaster, with multiple levels (which I didn't know until recently was actually possible without full 3d, but apparently it is!). It uses flat textures for walls, which are made of flat lines, and extruded to *look* 3D, and uses regular scaling sprites for enemies. Crazy Taxi at least tried to use polygons, but I still consider it a failure like most of the 3D attempts on the GBA.
Few things are more annoying than starting up Modern Warfare and having to wait an hour to actually play it. It actually makes me miss the old DLC system where the base game worked without installing new content.
That kind of thing is a side effect of modern assets being so detailed. It's not 80 gb of code that you're downloading, it is 79.99 gb of textures, models, and sound.

I know everyone's memeing Skyrim however after seeing official releases like Doom and duke nuk'em I seriously wonder what could Elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall be like if made into a GBA game
Terraria would be easy, it uses 32-bit colour and has sprites similar to that of a SNES, so all it would take is some upscaling of sprites an optimization Disclaimer: I have no idea if it is anything near this simple, this is just my idealized version of it
@@aaron_aj_knight_95 Clearly you haven't seen the fan remake of Sonic on the GBA. It was much, much better. But Sonic Mania is quite a bit more advanced than Sonic 1, so I don't know about that. Someone really really should do a sandbox game on the GBA though, the downside is battery saving. There's no way a sandbox world could be saved on such a small SRAM, right? GBA carts have 32KB, a small Terraria world is 2701KB on creation. Edit: Oh there's also 128KB Flash RAM, but that's still not big enough. Homebrew can theoretically make any size save file it wants on a flash cart, but I like to imagine what it would be like with original standards.
@@halotroop2288 I see what u mean with extra sprites, more pixels, smooth slope animations, and 3d effects but all of that could still be achieved because there are Sega genesis rom hacks that achieve 60fps, more sprites, and custom animations and moves that can be run on the genesis, which is a less powerful system than the GBA. I think it could be achievable because astroboy also had amazing sprites that seem to interact with things like lights, and the GBA handled games with 3d too. But I see ur point
this is amazing, i really like demakes. u could make this into a demake of minecraft (with less block, less mobs, less itens but the same gameplay u show on this video)
not only is this a great video idea it's really well paced and super engaging for what could be a life sapping video where you skip to the cool parts. this dude needs subs!
I am impressed considering that the gba was never designed for 3D. I didn’t know you could plot pixels independently. I thought it was all tiled based. What programming language/ compiler did you use. Assembly, C, C++, or something higher?
There are some screen modes which are tile based and others that are totally linear pixel buffers, which is perfect for software renderers. Resolution is quite smaller than in other consoles/computers of the time, and the ARM CPU while not high frequency, could still do a lot if programmed well. There are plenty of demoscene demos and 3d commercial games on the GBA.
@@3DSage Did you code it in assembly or use c++, personally I dont think assembly is too bad for these old systems as the instruction sets are much simpler than on modern processors like x64 and compilers for old systems like GBA and NES aren't as well developed as they are for modern pcs meaning assembly is often going to be the best option anyway if you want to squeeze the most performance out, especially when you are trying to push the hardware to do something it really isn't meant to do like this
C is the most used way of doing things. It is not as heavy as C++, and performs fairly well compared to assembly, so most developers choose it over asm and C++
Hey, for people wondering if the GBA can plot pixels independently, the answer is YES. It has 2 framebuffer modes for bitmap drawing, like old computers had. Therefore, you can use a raycaster in ASM to draw 3D polygons and bodies, like they did in Doom on MS/DOS.
@@amazoncouch7116 2 buttons on the front, and 2 on the top. not enough for everything even then. pc games arent easy to translate to consoles, old or new

Yeah, that's the point of the video
Wow Thanks Captain Obvious. I *REALLY* DIDNT SEE IT
No, he didn't literally do that
@@vinniewasnothere you are a loser, dont you know how much time does it take to make a 3d game on a 2d integrated gameboy?
Really great video bro! Who could have expected that! Earned a sub +like
Hey thank you so much! I'll release the Textured minecraft soon this week!
Absolute Quality Content.
Thank you for saying that! :)
I would actually pay to buy a Cartridge with this rom on it.
Well he ain't gonna give you it for free. No duh you'd be paying.
Dan Odden Not particularly true. He could dump the ROM on the Internet. Though it’s his choice on what he wants to do.
@@cmspeckt And if you spent countless hours developing a ROM that teams of developers couldn't accomplish would you even have the slightest thought of giving it away for free? I didn't think so.
@@danodden9783 I would, I mean its good because it will allow for further development, and just dumping it online will allow everyone to enjoy it. IM NOT SAYING HE IS OR EVER WILL release this game for free, its his choice after all. And even then its been 1 year so Idk.
@@Lenception Oh yeah you totally would. And I would run into a burning orphanage to save a bunch of kids. Totally. Get a life dude.
I know everyone's memeing Skyrim however after seeing official releases like Doom and duke nuk'em I seriously wonder what could Elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall be like if made into a GBA game
I would love to see sonic mania running on the GBA, or a wiisports tennis, or Terraria.
Terraria would be easy, it uses 32-bit colour and has sprites similar to that of a SNES, so all it would take is some upscaling of sprites an optimization
Disclaimer: I have no idea if it is anything near this simple, this is just my idealized version of it
After that Sonic Genesis fiasco? Never again.
@@aaron_aj_knight_95 Clearly you haven't seen the fan remake of Sonic on the GBA. It was much, much better. But Sonic Mania is quite a bit more advanced than Sonic 1, so I don't know about that.
Someone really really should do a sandbox game on the GBA though, the downside is battery saving. There's no way a sandbox world could be saved on such a small SRAM, right? GBA carts have 32KB, a small Terraria world is 2701KB on creation.
Edit: Oh there's also 128KB Flash RAM, but that's still not big enough.
Homebrew can theoretically make any size save file it wants on a flash cart, but I like to imagine what it would be like with original standards.
@@halotroop2288 I see what u mean with extra sprites, more pixels, smooth slope animations, and 3d effects but all of that could still be achieved because there are Sega genesis rom hacks that achieve 60fps, more sprites, and custom animations and moves that can be run on the genesis, which is a less powerful system than the GBA. I think it could be achievable because astroboy also had amazing sprites that seem to interact with things like lights, and the GBA handled games with 3d too. But I see ur point
Ash Ketchum it did handle 3d, sure. but was it good, fast, or really usable? no.
this is amazing, i really like demakes. u could make this into a demake of minecraft (with less block, less mobs, less itens but the same gameplay u show on this video)
not only is this a great video idea it's really well paced and super engaging for what could be a life sapping video where you skip to the cool parts. this dude needs subs!
3:23 That looks really cool :D
Thank you! That's my level creator for the GBA. I'm proud of that. I posted a video of that on my channel too. :)
@@3DSage Cool :D i will chekk it out :D
You would have made millions back in the day with this game, damn
Please make this public! Your realistic tech demo was amazing! I would love to be able to build and see what the GBA can run.
I am impressed considering that the gba was never designed for 3D. I didn’t know you could plot pixels independently. I thought it was all tiled based. What programming language/ compiler did you use. Assembly, C, C++, or something higher?
AFAIK the GBA used C along with some custom libraries
Even with tile based systems, you can usually plot pixels in RAM, and copy them to tile memory in VRAM.
There are some screen modes which are tile based and others that are totally linear pixel buffers, which is perfect for software renderers.
Resolution is quite smaller than in other consoles/computers of the time, and the ARM CPU while not high frequency, could still do a lot if programmed well.
There are plenty of demoscene demos and 3d commercial games on the GBA.
Can we see how you made you’re own Gba games ?
I will make a tutorial video :)
Your*
@@3DSage Did you code it in assembly or use c++, personally I dont think assembly is too bad for these old systems as the instruction sets are much simpler than on modern processors like x64 and compilers for old systems like GBA and NES aren't as well developed as they are for modern pcs meaning assembly is often going to be the best option anyway if you want to squeeze the most performance out, especially when you are trying to push the hardware to do something it really isn't meant to do like this
C is the most used way of doing things. It is not as heavy as C++, and performs fairly well compared to assembly, so most developers choose it over asm and C++
Thanks for showing up in my recommended. This is awesome.
Lovely.
"Horizon: Zero Dawn" project when?
Seriously though, this is really nifty.
We DO wanna play the game!
Hey, for people wondering if the GBA can plot pixels independently, the answer is YES. It has 2 framebuffer modes for bitmap drawing, like old computers had. Therefore, you can use a raycaster in ASM to draw 3D polygons and bodies, like they did in Doom on MS/DOS.
I think that the idea of making a game to gba is just awesome please make a tutorial if you're able to do (sorry if i made any english mistake)
Thank you! Ok I will.
I’d love to see the original Spelunky running on a GBA
Speaking of Spelunky, maybe also the original binding of Isaac? Probably not though, as the gba, for some godforsaken reason, only has *2 buttons*
@@amazoncouch7116 2 buttons on the front, and 2 on the top. not enough for everything even then. pc games arent easy to translate to consoles, old or new
It's my first video that I watch from this channel, dedication and love for videogames are two of the best words to describe this video content. Keep it up! 💪🏽
There is awesomeeee
But where rom
I must dowland
genius bruh dude shut up
DriftedLogan No. you don’t just say people shut up, is that how you greet people?
@@geniusbruh542 nah ur just genius here bruhh
@Matteo Leonardi well a person got insulted
Damn that's neat!
Thank you! :)
yes, it is
So cool! Working on old game hardware has such insane limits, much respect!
How about Resident Evil 4 on the GBA? :)
3DSage yes please
Yes
There's no way. I mean it's already on everything ever but still there's no way.
hell yee
HOW ABOUT RELEASING THE ROM
3:10 Actually, there’s NO LINK (for Raycaster Level Maker or any other part of the Internet) in the Description.
There is i have the GBA file
@@MatejGames show
@@MatejGames tell us
@@MatejGames link
This man is such an underrated creator. Stupid skits gain more views than this complex masterpiece.
I would really like to see this project coming to an end i'm really curious
So now we need someone to make a GBA emulator in minecraft, then run your ROM on it
Wow what an Inception moment that would be :)
3DSage post a download link u selfish asshole
@@3DSage IT WOULD BE COOL BUT YOU CANT
RUN IT WITHOUT THE ROM
I know the video is a year old, but WOW im impressed that. Some one is still playing on the GBA, funny enough I have a friend in the MMO I play who still played his till the day it burnt out.But wow you have some amazing skills
This just popped up in my recommendations lol. Any plans of releasing the Rom?
The video is more than a year old
@@sandalhocomments6857 im aware of it, but to this day I have not seen any other links or videos related to this where he published it
@@Darclient obviously he ain't gonna release it.
Looking at the comments everyone is asking him to release it but he didn't even released it for his viewers.
Forget about this thing since it's obvious he ain't releasing it.
There's Minecraft on NDS, There's Minecraft on Nintendo Wii, There's Minecraft on PSP.
Why bother on this if he ain't obviously gonna release it.
He is God
This is fucking insane, fascinating and amazing. I appreciate your hard work!
hey please make a rom for this so we all can play it on an emulator
Congrats on almost 1mil views.
Would be awesome to see the process of setting up the GBA development environment ready.
For those who like programming and GBA :)
Something about the graphics is very charming! Really cool!
I agree! I grew up with PlayStation 1 games so these pixels remind me of those games :)
yah they're pretty cool, I just wish the rom was plublic
this is amazing
when you have the hability and work hard the limitation is just a group of words and numbers.
great work
This is so f****** good you need to make another video on this because it's just that good and you are definitely worthy of million subscribers
Holy crap, dude, this is incredible!!! 3D graphics on the Gameboy. Wow.
This is the good thing about Minecraft
Simplicity is key
The new minecraft update lookin fresh
I absolutely love this idea and seeing the process you went through. Thanks for the great video.
The thirst for human innovation and excellence has no limits.
A multiplayer version of this would have been like 3d Pictochat
We honestly need..
Club Penguin GBA Editon
and..
Toontown GBA Edition
(man i miss those old school games from late 2000's)
This video is kinda old, but my jaw literally dropped when you zoomed out on that heart
That's phenomenal! I hope I get to play it once you release it
You are great,dude!Keep it up!Your videos are awesome.
I think you might have better luck on the DS. However this is still amazing. Its so insane what you managed to pull off on such an old device. One that was around and died before Minecraft was even put into beta.
This should totally be made open source my dude. Kudos to you.
This would have been AMAZING back in the day. Good job!
