"Didn't bother writing the program to play it. Shitty editing job instead" Well that's rude. You know that not everyone can write programs. Neither does everyone have a Gameboy.
Flandre would win, considering her abilty to Absolutely Destroy Anything, by looking at the "eye” of the object and squuezing it, resulting to an explosion. Like that time Flandre destroyed a meteor without even touching it
Why are some people in the comments acting like they are Game Boy masters and criticising this video? I'm pretty sure the creator didn't want to trick people into thinking this was real, so why the frick are you people acting like you could have made a way better video and s/he did such a poor job?
Boy: I CAN'T CONTROL MY GAMEBOY MOMMY!!!!!! WEIRD PEOPLE ARE ON IT!!!!!!!! Mom: *looks at GAMEBOY* Is this Touhou? Me: *breaks down door* DID SOMEONE SAY TOUHOU?!?!?!
haha, mind blowing XD i'm sure that sort of animation would have used up more than ALL the space on the game cartrige - leaving no more space for an actual game.
I'm really sure this isn't real. Doesn't seem pixely just blurry and also the Gameboy itself doesn't move and really looks like a video put on a picture.
the sound is from the gb chip (or something very close to it) but the video is just the video pixellated and placed on a frame of the gameboy. look around the time when eirin reaches for the moon. there's a few colours there that the gameboy wouldn't be able to display.
The answer to that question is no, the Game Boy absolutely COULD NOT make this happen were someone to make a special cart that had this video on there, for it would be too much movement for a Game Boy to take, and ditto for playing this on a Game Boy Color, NES/FDS/FDD, Sega Master System, or Sega Game Gear.
It's a shame, the script they used didn't posterize the image to 4 shades. At certain points you can up 8 different shades of grey interpolating in the pixels. This would have been impossible on Game Boy. So the video definitely isn't of anything that the Gameboy's screen was even possible of processing. I don't see anything wrong with the sound though, though it sounds more like GameGear than Gameboy to me. That may just be because of the composition though.
This here is the first Bad Apple!! I heard. It translates so well to Gameboy both in sound and graphics that I almost prefer it to the original. Whoever did this in the first place has some serious chops.
This is a fake, but it's certainly possible to do for real. Now the Bad Apple fad is over, doesn't seem likely anyone will bother. But streaming tile-video to the GB's screen isn't a huge deal. Lots of the tiles stay the same from frame to frame, so don't need updating. First you'd need a program on the PC to uncompress the video into bitmaps, then analyse and encode them into lists of tiles. The GB side would just need to read the lists, and copy the tiles.
No, I'm actually not sure you can do transitions like that at all with the GB CPU. If you're really curious, I could check it a bit more in-depth. Also, it couldn't be an actual GB for a couple reasons : - The nintendo logo doesn't show up on boot. It could be skipped but requires hacking up the ROM. It also isn't possible the "Reimu Boy" logo fits in the GB ROM. - You don't have a direct framebuffer (understand : you can't change individual pixels easily) to the screen. This is because having a whole framebuffer is heavy memory-side (it'd occupy the half of the main memory), and too slow to be correctly used by the CPU. The GPU presents tiles, sprites, etc., and you use them. So no matter what, the GB's z80 CPU is really too slow to fill the DSP with the audio data along with updating the whole screen at a fairly high refresh rate. You can represent a group of 4 pixels with one byte (4 tints per pixel = 2 bits (square root of 4)). So you need to fill in 5.76Kb of memory every frame, so 115.2kb per second if you want 20fps. That's a lot and I doubt the weak 4MHz GB CPU can handle that.
True fact, although it may not have seemed like it, the gameboy actually ran at 60fps, but probably would not get smooth transitions because of limitations in the hardware, if someone were able to give the hardware a boost, and by that I mean make it as powerful as the machines of today, it may be possible.
screen is simulated, no monochrome GB screen can update that fast without *some* motion blur, but as far as I can tell, it's inlaid into a picture of a real GB
Never seen the actual show itself, but considering that it looks 3D (May not be fully 3D but the kind where a character can be seen from different angles) the conversion to the gameboy would be insane! Just look at how many sprites this thing can hold on the cartridge! (Also doesn't help that "Gameboy Color extreme overclocking" is in the related videos to the side >_>)
Well, the music video itself was based on a video game franchise. You can find the original video by looking up "Bad Apple!" on RUclips. Anyways, someone has ported the video to an NES rom, which *will* play if you put it into an emulator. When it reaches the end of the video, it will loop from the start.
***** I've seen the original plenty of times, it still kinda looked like an anime to me though. But my knowledge is limited to the actual video and song.
Graysongdl I see. Well, the video game franchise in question is a shoot-em-up series called "Touhou." All the games - the music, art, and programming - are created by a single person, ZUN, who runs "Team Shanghai Alice." (Though for some games, he collaborates with a team called "Twilight Frontier.") There are a couple fan-made anime out there, such as "Memories of Phantasm," or "A Summer Day's Dream," but these are not endorsed by the original author. The games are only sold in Japan at events like Comiket and Reitaisai. As a foreigner, your options for getting these games are importing them through an online vendor, or downloading them for freesies. If you're curious about the games, but are worried about wasting your money, I'd recommend downloading them to see if you can get into it.
Sound: 2 square wave generators, 1 PCM 4-bit wave sample (64 4-bit samples played in 1x64 bank or 2x32 bank) channel, 1 noise generator, and one audio input from the cartridge.[33] The unit only has one speaker, but headphones provide stereo sound Display: Reflective STN LCD 160 × 144 pixels
I world say it is really possible to let the gameboy play this sound . Seriously I played couple of games that have the music REALLY like this in terms of sound texture and style . This soundtrack was just brought me back a lot of memory of me playing gameboy long time ago
It probably is possible, if difficult. The main thing that would make this hard to do audio-wise would be the limited channels, but that's typically only a problem with actual games which are doing a lot of other things. Just look at the kinds of mixing people do for serious 8-bit music on actual Game Boys. With this, it'd just be that video, the animating which would probably be the hardest part. Many, many frames, and Game Boys don't have good frame rates.
Ther's a ROM of the NES version on youtube and the video and audio limits of both the NES and GB are very similar. Also, the GB wasn't made until 1989.

You could do what they they when they only had floppy disks, make a pack or so and have PART 1, 2, 3, etc.

Gameboy was 4-bit... Still sounds good though
No no it was 8-bit trust me :3
LightningFluttershy
The sound processor was only 4 bit though (Or maybe 6, not sure right now.)
Lol...Oh wait....The gameboy Advance was 8 bit....
LightningFluttershy
the gameboy advance had more than 8
Really? I thought that it was 4-bit graphics and music
It's a shame, the script they used didn't posterize the image to 4 shades. At certain points you can up 8 different shades of grey interpolating in the pixels. This would have been impossible on Game Boy. So the video definitely isn't of anything that the Gameboy's screen was even possible of processing. I don't see anything wrong with the sound though, though it sounds more like GameGear than Gameboy to me. That may just be because of the composition though.
Also, the original Game Boy had a ton of motion blur.
rembember the video on youtube is compressed it uses more.
The screen was indeed green like this. The game and watch had more of a beige, tan color to it.
*****
yeah gotta stand on williams side on this. the gameboy screen is green
Not to mention no ghosting when the animation got relatively fast.
Every time I watch this thing I get chills. This is too beautiful.
They say if it has two colours, it can play Bad Apple.
This song is really catchy ^^ I like it .-.
Added Note:
it would take a hell of a lot of effort on the animator's part to achieve it, though.
This is all kinds of amazing...
This here is the first Bad Apple!! I heard. It translates so well to Gameboy both in sound and graphics that I almost prefer it to the original. Whoever did this in the first place has some serious chops.

Truly amazing work!
This was 12 years ago i was born :
I love the 8bit choppp
i love this version!!!
Sound: 2 square wave generators, 1 PCM 4-bit wave sample (64 4-bit samples played in 1x64 bank or 2x32 bank) channel, 1 noise generator, and one audio input from the cartridge.[33] The unit only has one speaker, but headphones provide stereo sound
Display: Reflective STN LCD 160 × 144 pixels
THIS IS AMAZING OMG
i love the 8bit baseline at 1:40
Even after seeing many versions of the video i still HAVE to watch it
it's sounds awsome with headphones >W
The original Bad Apple theme was for the PC-98, then it was remixed, THEN the remix was down-graded into 8-bit form. This is WAY too confusing.
@coreboy Still, the gradient of that scene implies a greater volume of pixels than a mere 160x144.
This is still here? Oh goodness, my childhood is coming back
Wow, this is a great job!
This is so epic!!!!
i like what you did at 0:42 its sound perfect for 8 bit
