Joe, your effort and tenacity is inspiring. This is still the best gaming channel on RUclips.
doncreech oh c’mon. It’s a guy receiving and buying stuff. Where’s his gaming skill? Where’s the mom jokes in a COD stream? Where’s the victory royales?

It can't be best gaming channel on RUclips. There is no PC games. How can you ignore the best and be the best?
EZ dislike. Probably his wife second account..
"Thank you for watching Game Sack."
Thanks for being there Joe.
weird
A Dave cameo on gb camera. I will take it!
And he finally got snatcher!
We miss you Dave!
Free David!!!!!! :p
Dave is trapped
my god how do i miss dave.
not many people who are as genuine and chill as dave with his dad jokes and generally smiley, good attitude.
that's not common on this website
Seeing those pictures of Dave with your copy of Snatcher gave me some serious serial killer vibes. Look at that grin while he holds Joe’s precious Snatcher, almost as if he were taunting him.
Great episode as always, Joe!
Loved the music for the Sega Channel montage at the end!
Even though I miss Dave so much and he is now only in for cameos, the show holds its quality and entertains still as much as it has before. Big respect, Joe! You're doing great!! I love GameSack
Totally agree, Joe can entertain adequately without Dave luckily. Is it ideal not really. But as long as Joe keeps on trucking we keep on watching.
Masterfully made and very funny ending video
The Sega Channel ending is excellent, one of the best you've done so far!
I can't believe how they charge 150 bucks for that device but hey, just one audio channel! Great episode Joe
I still remember the dark times when Gamecube component cables were our only option for the best video output. I had to settle for S-Video the longest time. I'm happy to see so many awesome manufactures step up to the plate and give us HDMI solutions for the Gamecube. Great video!
Same, I had to use a crappy svideo to hdmi converter and I didnt really play my gamecube. But since I got a Carby ive been playing non stop:)
There's always the option of using a Wii, which has cheap and common component cables.
lmao Dave with the Snatcher
@ColonelSandwich
Must be a “Hidden” or “Secret” episode of Game Sack....
The reason they've epoxied the chips on the Super 64 is probably so people wouldn't find out it's just a less useful version of the Retrotink.
bingo. the EON stuff is wack.
AFAIK epoxying is common among very cheap components instead of manufacturing an IC housing. PC Engine cartridges are the same way.
If anything, it means the components are as cheap as possible and not replaceable.
That epoxying looked like it was done by hand, too - not even the automated sort you see in cheap mass-produced circuits, like alarm clocks or the little circuit boards from musical greeting cards. Seemed pretty sketch.
I read that as Robotnik at first. Should I be worried for my sanity or am I just tired?
The last 90 seconds of this video is pure gold.
Joe: I'm probably not going to do as many skits.
Also Joe: ALL THE SKITS!
I love these episodes! not owning any older televisions makes it tough to play my older systems! Thanks a lot!
That was a really, really well done outro Joseph... You're just so obviously talented... Thanks as always for your efforts, and all that you do for us.
I like how you referred to the Super 64 not being physically compatible with the SNES as a "missed opportunity" but the sad reality is that EON knew what they were doing when they designed it that way. An HDMI adapter for SNES is probably a future project for them and they want to make money, so I can assume it'll basically be the same product as the Super64 in a new shell. I'm kinda surprised that you didn't try it again after you opened it up to solder the audio connection back, unless you did and I missed it.
Also great vid as always. Consistently impressed by the content you put up.
Possibly eon will make 2 versions of this for snes?
1.s-video to hdmi
2.rgb to hdmi
They'll be double-dipping then!
That was one of the best end-credits shorts I've yet seen on this channel. Excellent work on that, Joe! :D
Best ending of an episode ever imo. Thank you!
I'm always blown away by the quality in your videos.
7:58 it's confirm Dave still keep Joe snatcher, and maybe we can find it at eBay.
for like $500
So many clicking sound effects. It's great.
If only connectors sounded that way to begin with ...
@@FindecanorNotGmail They're Counter-Strike sound effects.
Sorry, I had to dislike. I do NOT agree with using an SNES controller on an SNES.
yeah, what the hell? that's blasphemy!
Jason C. Nobody makes me bleed my own blood.
RidinSpinaz04 Lies. Everybody knows SNES fans bleed green slime.
Everyone knows to use an Atari 2600 Controller on a SNES, Duh!
I use my SNES controller on my DOS PC.
Still Sega 6-button works better.
Who in the world would need a SNES controller?
Joe seems like he has just as much fun screwing around with settings as he does playing the games. Reminds me of my (recently deceased) dad.
What do you think of my hair?
April Fool episode was the best!
A question that will be debated by many philosophers for years to come..........
Still need a Metal Jesus/Game Sack crossover episode
More and more I find myself thinking the ending skits are the highlights of the Game Sack episodes. Joe should get nominated- nay, he DESERVES an Oscar.
"This should really cost less" and maybe don't ship them unfinished... I'm glad Joe soldered the left pin in place to fix the audio, but that is not something he should have had to do.
That ending bit was art
I love the ending hahahaha, watched it two times in a row already.
I'm so happy I discovered Game Sack ever since Classic Game Room sort of just collapsed.
Plastic game room has been mia for some time.
He never did explain why the bait and switch to his drawing and comics. Kinda disappeared and came back like this was totally normal and never mentioned games again.
@@ninjamaster3453 Changes to the RUclips algorithm meant that he couldn't support a job reviewing games full time. He diversified with comics and Patreon. The bottom fell out of the Patreon pretty quickly, turns out there was way more money/interest in the comics stuff, and it seems like he was pretty burned out with reviewing games anyway.
The Kim Situation feat. Genuine Brag I think he went to Amazon Prime also. I used to love his reviews but the bottom just fell out.
He even disabled comment on his videos
2am, I can’t sleep, new Game Sack on, its all good...
I use a Retrotink on my N64/Saturn. :) I'm now REALLY interested in the controller adapter. ;)
be aware, EON's version of the GCHD actually digitizes the analog audio out rather than using the pure digital signal from the digital AV out. other versions of the box don't have this problem
Your last "skit" gave me chills...!
Using a Super Nintendo controller on the Super Nintendo?!? WHAT MADNESS IS THIS?!?
Glad I watched this. I'm in the PAL region and you just saved me $150. Good job.
Theres a pal version coming but still i wouldnt recommend spending $150 on this
Just get a Retro Tink 2x.
I love your channel Joe. Every other Sunday is the BEST Sunday!
Thank you once again for another great accessories episode, Joe. These are becoming some of my favorites you’re doing and I’m glad I got to hear your opinion on the Insurrection GC HDMI adapter. I think I’m gonna get the Carby!
Love the click sound every time you plug something in lol
That first device blew my mind, I would have had a field day with that as a kid!
I LOVE those end Skits
Thank you Joe for keeping the dream alive! Still the most incredible retro gaming channel in my books. Cant wait until next weeks episode
Plot Twist: Not only is Joe just imagining the Sega Channel is back, but he's imagined all of Game Sack. There's no Dave, he never owned Snatcher, and he isn't even in his own home. He's just sitting in a padded cell, staring at a wall, and holding a broken 3rd party 64 controller while the doctors look on sadly wishing they could break him free of the world he has created for himself.
$150 and they can't solder the left audio channel :D I'm interested in the half price GC adapter though!
The Carby is great. Highly recommend it
The hair thing at the end was hilarious
Everytime I get a notification that there is a new Game Sack video, my heart leaps
A real Sunday is having breakfast watching gamesack, great episode 😁
This episode is awesome! My favorite of everything was the controller adapter.
The ending was epic. Great video as always Joe.
Great episode.
I always love to hear about interesting accessories for my old consoles
Love these kind of episodes! Thanks, Joe.
I believe the light gun flashing has to do with your CRT being flat screen if I'm not mistaken
Sometimes, the past never dies and when it comes to retro gaming, that statement is very much true.
Just that lil bit of Ecco DotF gameplay makes me fill so chill, man :)
"What d'you think of my hair? Let me know down in the comments bellow" LMAO
Well here we are, another nice video, love to know that there is some retro love
Great video, just as I'd expect from Game Sack. I found this especially helpful because your mention of the RetroPad32, which I quickly looked up. I use a pretty unconventional controller called a QuadStick (for people like me with quadriplegia) and I've absolutely scoured the internet for controller adapters that might help me access my older consoles but somehow missed this one. Anyway I contacted the developer of the RetroPad32 and he actually contacted the developer of the QuadStick and it looks like support for my controller is going to be added to the latest firmware. Long story short, looks like after five long years I'll be reunited with some of my favorite consoles (on actual hardware). Thanks for making these videos, they do make a difference.
That first adapter makes me wanna use a Sega Saturn controller on a commodore 64
It might work
Do check first that the adapter's Atari 2600 output is C64-compatible, and then only use that setting/mode (if there is one).
Sega gamepads can damage the circuits of a C64, while they work fine on the Atari.
@@Blueflag04 it should, its the same 9 pin as the master system isn't it
NES or nothing.
@@Chaos89P SEGA bitch
Dave Cameo!
It's not the same without Dave!
But it's still awesome!
Time to open another sack
you can really tell you love reviewing these retro accessories.
"Push it hard until it clicks." Universal life tip.
Videos like this remind me of my New Year's Resolution -- to spend more time playing video games.
I actually expected you to talk about the Mega SD since it's coming soon, but hey, there is always Vol. 4
That multi controller adapter is definitely most appealing to me as a way to connect console controllers to an emulation station. At least if it could have a ton of them hooked up at once. Those Dreamcast, GameCube and Nintendo 64 adapters look wonderful.
I have used that bright blue coax that came with the Sega Channel in every single cable install across 6 houses. Sega Channel is life.
The Snatcher meme lives! 😃 ... And that ending is the best yet, too! 🙌
Coming back to this vid, am proud to say I'm finally getting around to getting the DCDightal for my modded Dreamcast. I got one ordered and coming in, then once next paycheck rolls around, can get it installed. Thanks for more or less inspiring me to finally go for this,
This has my favorite short so far
Much love for the Ikaruga T-Shirt Joe! The retropad looks like something I need!
Man these accessories are super cool! Also that clip at the end was just amazing
Wow, that controller adapter looks incredible!
The Metal Jesus part at the end almost made me spit out my coffee it was so funny. Great episode!
7:56 Dave 2 second GB cameo. Awesome!
Thank you so much for another episode of favorite video series on RUclips! Sending love from Grand Junction!
The skit/video at the end was EPIC!
My frothing demand for your shirt increases!
Lol
The shirt is so awesome they went and made a game out of it!
@@GameSack I have that game.
Because you can't spell ignorant without IGN! (Really though, what a weird quote for the box.)
@@battra92 does a woman have thaTattooed on her Snatcher?
Great video as usual Joe!
I have the Retropad 32; it's absolutely perfect for emulation, you basically get an input for your PC into which you can plug most any original controller, and it just works. The PC will see them all as the same controller, as the Retropad connects to the PC and the controllers (with adapter cables) connect to the Retropad, making for a very stable and predictable setup. Combined with newer versions of Retroarch you get latencies that's the same as the original consoles, tou can even go below that to compensate for an lcd tv... and if you go all out, like I did, you can hook your PC up to a CRT using CRT emudriver and a compatible card, and get native resolutions using the switchres function. Top it off by using Launchbox as a frontend, hide Windows completely, and the result is a pefect retro game setup. I own all the original consoles, but I just keep them in a nice display case to look at while playing on this setup. The downside is that this solution is both pricey and time consuming...
this episode was a blast, I'm watching it again!
I know we all miss Dave, but Joe is really hitting his stide now as a solo artist :) Great work!
Good episode. That ridiculous controller adapter at the beginning looks awesome! I might have to snag myself one of those. The Game boy device that allows you to backup and write save data looks really cool too.
A big relief to see Dave's gritty Snatcher on this episode.
This was a great video. I love seeing you dive into the hardware side of things
Sega light phaser for Duck Hunt ?! How dare you ?! WHERE'S DAVE ???? He wouldn't stand for this . Lol . Awesome video Joe . Keep em coming !!!!
Haha, stylish post credits video, thanks for all the hard work!
Nice episode! The ending skit was so damn cool!!
Carby should just tap into the audio line of the GC similar to the GCHD device but with their Component Cables. It’s bulky but still less than having another cable for it especially when they can run the line within the Component Cable itself. He could then sell it for slightly more for the added convenience.
Watching during R.S.H.
Real Sack Hours.
even when i don't think i will be intrested in the topic i still always enjoy the video,Thanks Joe
Retrotink X2 for N64, PAL & NTSC, more inputs, more features, same picture, lower price
The zoom on the eyes killed me!
Whenever i wanna go way back, i come here👍
Damn that end skit was awesome
I knew soon as that GB Camera bit started Dave was gonna appear :) Great episode Joe, some great gadgets I'd never even heard of
That Sega Channel skit was brilliant.
Joe Redifer oh man I remember you from the Magic Box forums back in the day! I used to go by Xero_0 back then haha. Happy to see you still kickin' and love the Game Sack content you and Dave worked on. I produce an Arabic podcast myself and it's nice to see MB alumni putting in work 😂. Best of luck!
MUST BUY COOL ACCESSORIES FOR MY RETRO SYSTEMS. Seriously, these items look awesome and are a nice way to spice up those classic consoles.
GameSack you da best! Never stop making episodes
This vid probs gonna be good
EDIT: it was
