+Toaster Strudel I found the video ROMs from emu paradise and downloaded on android using puffin and used the android emulator from emu paradise which is the same software you pay $3 for on the app store but it dose not look too bad it you don't have it full screen.
People over exaggerate how bad the screen was. don't get me wrong when you are outside you couldn't see shit I have one like this. but inside? Daytime? That screen was more then enough for my 6 year old eyes

+Gabriel Jensen The Super Gameboy can only run original Gameboy games, and a special Japan-only variant can allow for Game Boy Color games, too, I believe. It can't run a GBA game.
Some incorrect information: the shrek/sharktale combo is not rare, a little uncommon at best. the robot hyper team go video pak is rare and the Shrek/Shrek2 combo is super rare. im in a collector group and a few of them have a complete ntsc gba set. the shrek 1 and 2 combo was often thought to not exist. i only know of 3 people who own it...including myself.
glad to hear im not the only one collecting these!im at 14 now. so there definitely is a combo shrek cart!?!? and is they also seperate gba videos as well?
Haven't seen any sort of evidence that the Shrek/Shrek 2 combo actually exists besides a box shot, amazon listing, and gamefaqs page. If you don't mind, would you be able to send some pictures of it? Also I kinda collect these too, and a few more are rare beyond what you mentioned: -Nicktoons Vol. 3 -Disney Vol. 2 -Sonic X. Vol. 2 -Proud Family (Haven't been able to find listings on amazon or ebay for any of these 4, so IDK what the prices are).
The RetroGameNinja yep sure can i have a podcast "videogamedads" message me through the pm me in the FB group and ill send along a pics. facebook.com/videogamedads
The RetroGameNinja also proud family nicktoons 3 and disney 2 are very hard to find. but sonic vol. 2 does not exist. dont waiste time trying to findeven if pic art is out there it never went to production
I remember as a Christmas present sometime in 2004 I got a Yu-Gi-Oh! version of these. I always hated seeing the 4Kids logo show up, because it took forever. I remember that the audio was terrible for these, as there was so much compression that there was absolutely no bass and plenty of digital static. The audio was so bad at points that you couldn't hear what Joey was saying to Yugi over the music because they were using the same frequencies.
+diego gaud Dark Forces were at work. Probably should be blamed on Bill from Gravity Falls. Or Yellow Diamond. Because Yellow Diamond is behind EVERYTHING.
Now it’s common to watch a movie on your phone but back then the options were kinda limited so at the time the GBA video was innovative and revolutionary and it’s impressive they were able to put shrek on a GBA card
My first Gameboy cartridge was two Pokemon episodes. I wanted a Pokemon game but my dad saw the video thing was cheaper and didn't know it wasn't a game.
The Super Retro Advance Adapter is a third party GBA Clone device based on GBA hardware. The lock out on the GBA Video carts in the Game Cube Game Boy Player is software based.
+Area DMG They only hurt themselves by disallowing GBA video to play on a GameCube as it would have helped sales and they could have made more then just cartoons and gave the gameboy advanced sp some more TV out function.
I would guess that Nintendo and the TV companies were as hyper defensive against piracy as usual and were afraid that people would make VHS copies of the GBA Video playing through a GBA Player (or some scenario like this) (despite GBA Video quality + VHS quality = (most likely) totally unwatchable). Or maybe the TV companies were afraid of GBA Player infringing on DVD sales?
I HAD A SHREK/SHARK TALE COMBO CART AND DISK REPLAY GAVE 2$ FOR IT!! When I left the store and came back, they were reselling it for 49$ with a Rare label.. I am pissed off now
The Fake Chris Jericho The funny sh!t is, some guy who bought 12 SNES games like Star Fox, Chrono Trigger, and Legend of Mana literally shit his pants when he saw the cart.. He knew the rarity and bought the cart..
I still have a few of those GBA videos. One is a movie, Shrek 2. I really wish I would have bought one of those Game Boy Micros when they came out. I think that the DS was out by then. Maybe the PSP too.
Never heard of a Play yan or whatever but when the GBA SP was out I had a blank cart that I could add whatever games I wanted to, even emulated NES games, but it did video too.
Note how someone found a "NintendoMP3Player" which was actually official and was a normal Play-Yan, with the Mario-stickman firmware. It was for the DS and released in 2007 I think.
Fun fact: Play-Yan video, while bad, is still not disappointing for the times. Remember the Sega CD console addon for Sega Genesis in 1993? Most FMVs ran at a sub-160p resolution with only 16-color video. The GBA Video wasn't miserable for 2004/2005 handheld full motion video, coming in with 240x160 with at least 256 color
My family used to have 4 of these carts, 2 Pokémon’s, 1 fairly oddparents, and 1 Cartoon Network cartridge. These were a cool thing to have back in the day, would love to get my hands on a few of these for nostalgia sake sometime despite these things being very outdated
It took me over 2 years but I finally decided to get this video off my Watch Later playlist and watch it. This was interesting. I might want to get one of these Game Boy Advance Video Paks one day. 🤓
I remember finding a Game Boy Advance Video cartridge on Amazon. I still have it. It has episodes 2 and 3 of Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go on it (it was one of the very few pieces of merchandise from the show that I could find).
Really cool for its time though I didn't have this as a kid but I had something similar, we had a portable movie player but before that we had to bring an entire tiny TV in our car (yes we had a plug in our car) for road trips
Because it'd be easy for people to record the output from their Gamecubes and pirate it. Although why you'd want to watch such shit video quality on a TV is beyond me.
also missing the Proud Family gba video...there was a game and an uncommon gba video as well. good info about the black micro cart you can add files too never heard of that one
I never got one of these back in the day because the video packs were always more expensive than the equivalent VHS or DVD. I was also annoyed that they wouldn't work on the Game Boy Player, because that was my first thought when they came out. When they couldn't even do that, I just wrote them off. I never thought to use them for travel, because we didn't go many places, and I didn't have a GBA with a backlit screen because I didn't like how they required you to plan everything in advance and charge your device. I liked AA batteries because you didn't have to charge them. But it seems like the requirement that you be disciplined and get in the habit of charging up whatever device you'll need ahead of time has become the standard, much to my chagrin. As a result of that, my phone doesn't work half the time and I'm always having to find a random computer and e-mail people text messages telling them my phone is dead. I have not adjusted well to the kind of discipline required to keep something charged at all times.
true... same with shrek. audio file compression is obvious. framerates also are a tad slow. oh well... not bad though for portable cartoons and movies on a ds.
These GBA Videos they could have made back in the day: Kirby: Right Back At Ya! Vol. 1 (Kirby Comes To Cappy Town / A Blockbuster Battle) Power Rangers: Dino Thunder Vol. 1 (Day Of The Dino, Parts 1 & 2)
It would be cool to find out exactly what the audio and video formats were for these things. I remember these form back in the day. The video and audio were not the best but good enough for early portable video. I'm guessing the audio would be in mono instead of stereo because of the Gameboy only having one speaker.
They're like mini season dvd's how it features only a couple of episodes. Although they're fantastic for car rides if you were hoping to watch cartoons for the red.
You forgot about one more item that was one of the last Media Players for the GBA/DS lineup: The Nintendo MP3 Player which is basically a reskinned Play-Yan micro.
The "Nintendo MP3 player" is the name given to the PlayYan Micro when it was released in Europe. it's literally the same device with a different sticker in it. Even the same OS and 1GB limitation.
Shows And Movies They Should Put On GBA Video And Should Continue Making - Good Burger - Jimmy Neutron Vol. 2 - Ed, Edd, N Eddy Vol. 1 - Ed, Edd, N Eddy Vol. 2 - Dragon Ball Z Kai Vol. 1 - Drake & Josh Go Hollywood The Movie - Drake & Josh Vol. 1 - Drake & Josh Vol. 2 - Drake & Josh Vol. 3 - All Grown Up Vol. 2 - Shrek The Third - American Dragon Jake Long Vol. 1 - American Dragon Jake Long Vol. 2
It's fun that back in 2004 it was so cool so hype to watch 190x240 video with low quality audio on gba, and while nintendo used restrictions to avoid watching those video's on the big screen, but they usedno restrictions on the play yan but blowing such low-res on a 4k screen will look really ugly hahaha. These day's i take the gba for grantage for what it is.
This is something i think could return for the Switch, i mean imagine entire SEASONS of shows in your pocket, no internet required, in glorious HD, on a decent-sized screen. Like the entire original Pokemon Origins series, or Adventure Time. Perhaps Star Vs the Forces of Evil, or even some classics like Robotech: The Macross Saga and the original DBZ?
I had a slot one flash cart for my gba sp that allowed me play video or MP3. Think it was the supercard. Anyway, there was an easy drag drop conversion utility that converted the videos to a format I can't remember the extension for. Long story short, I crammed about 30 episodes of aqua teen hunger force and some looney tunes on there and my coworkers were jealous as hell. My Sony phone also played videos. Can't remember the model but it's the one that spins open.
I wish I had the Brandy and Mr. Whiskers and Lilo and Stitch ones if I ever had a Game Boy Advance. The GBA Video release of Brandy and Mr. Whiskers is the only home release of the series outside of Disney Channel. Lilo and Stitch is quite an interesting case. One episode was released on DVD alongside Leroy and Stitch and the complete series was released in Japan with the Japanese dub bundled with the Stitch! anime. The GBA Video release is the only standalone American release.
Wasnt the animal crossing movie on a ds video pak as a movie ticket preorder gift or someting? I remember reading somewhere that nintendo compressed the whole movie onto a ds card and releasing it for some promotion in japan only
I've had 4 Nintendo products through my lifetime. I've had the Game Boy adavanced, Wii, Nintendo dsi, and 3ds. I really, really, really want the 2ds though!
I had the Shrek 1 and 2 pack, and I watched them all the time. To the point where I still have the scripts for both memorized, albeit moreso the first one.
Tbh the only reason I know about Play-Yan is because the little white guy that appears in it is in Rhythm Tengoku/Rhythm Heaven Megamix XD Btw great video
Game Boy Advance Video: All GBA Video cartridges are incompatible with the Game Boy Player. This measure was to prevent users from attaching the Game Boy Player to a VCR or DVD recorder and copying the Game Boy Video material.[5] The GBA Video carts detect the Game Boy Player and refuse to boot when running under it, giving an error message. Even if the carts were playable on the player (which they are through the use of flash carts and Action Replay), the resolution was greatly reduced for the GBA medium, causing pixelation and sound pops that a large screen with louder speakers would pick up. (Video Game Boy Advance: Toate cartușele video GBA sunt incompatibile cu Game Boy Player. Această măsură a fost de a împiedica utilizatorii să atașeze Game Boy Player la un VCR sau un DVD recorder și să copieze materialul video Game Boy.[5] Cărucioarele video GBA detectează Game Boy Player și refuză să pornească atunci când rulează sub el, dând un mesaj de eroare. Chiar dacă cărucioarele erau redate pe player (care sunt prin utilizarea cărucioarelor flash și Action Replay), rezoluția a fost mult redusă pentru mediul GBA, provocând pixelări și pop-uri de sunet pe care le-ar capta un ecran mare cu difuzoare mai puternice.)
+Canal do game e do hardware And you could delete from the system. Overall, the PSP Go was my go to Podcast machine for the longest time because it also had Bluetooth connectivity for my Speakers.
+Canal do game e do hardware yyyyyyyeaaaaaah......... about the video, there's only one compatible format, and the quality is only compatible at 320p or below, it sucks............ just like Frozen 15:14
I was pretty young around this time, and for in-car entertainment my father had purchased a portable DVD player. Worked fine, I could actually, you know, watch movies besides Shrek. And at solid quality. Much much better solution for portable kids entertainment.
Especially since the 3DS demos at E3 had video clips for "How To Train Your Dragon" and "Tangled." Which would be kind of cool if they sold those on the eShop. I feel there is a missed opportunity there.

The video quality is surprisingly good for gba

They were terribly pixelated on the GBA...the GB micro shows it WAY better.

Imagine watching Shrek on a Super Nintendo with the unofficial gba adapter for it.
+Gabriel Jensen The Super Gameboy can only run original Gameboy games, and a special Japan-only variant can allow for Game Boy Color games, too, I believe. It can't run a GBA game.
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
***** Well, I assumed so. Also because of how you still probably noticed the "unofficial adapter" part of it.
doesnt the GBA have a slightly higher resolution than the snes?
armadilloFlashFire SNES is 16-bit, GBA is 32-bit. But the adapter probably has it's own graphics card...

Now it’s common to watch a movie on your phone but back then the options were kinda limited so at the time the GBA video was innovative and revolutionary and it’s impressive they were able to put shrek on a GBA card
During GBA era, it was possible to watch 3gp video on Nokia Symbian phones like 3650 or 6600 compressed to 174x144 pixel with AMR mono audio.

For some odd reason, Game Boy Advance Video carts can be played on the Super Retro Advance adapter for the SNES.
The Super Retro Advance Adapter is a third party GBA Clone device based on GBA hardware. The lock out on the GBA Video carts in the Game Cube Game Boy Player is software based.

and who ever said Nintendo products never played movies
Firepal I think he's talking about this new fad going around, it's called a joke. Maybe you should take one sometime.

I find it very infuriating that he never checked his camera to see if the video was out of focus!
2:35 "Bippity - bopitty - cant see crap" BAHAHAHAHA!!!!😂
what amazes me is that they managed to put full movies on a GBA cartridge and I'm going to guess it took a lot compression
Monsta resolution was probably 64x30
The super rare carts with 2 movies have 8 frames per second and less than 144p resolution.

This is something i think could return for the Switch, i mean imagine entire SEASONS of shows in your pocket, no internet required, in glorious HD, on a decent-sized screen. Like the entire original Pokemon Origins series, or Adventure Time. Perhaps Star Vs the Forces of Evil, or even some classics like Robotech: The Macross Saga and the original DBZ?
I had a slot one flash cart for my gba sp that allowed me play video or MP3. Think it was the supercard. Anyway, there was an easy drag drop conversion utility that converted the videos to a format I can't remember the extension for. Long story short, I crammed about 30 episodes of aqua teen hunger force and some looney tunes on there and my coworkers were jealous as hell. My Sony phone also played videos. Can't remember the model but it's the one that spins open.
I wish I had the Brandy and Mr. Whiskers and Lilo and Stitch ones if I ever had a Game Boy Advance.
The GBA Video release of Brandy and Mr. Whiskers is the only home release of the series outside of Disney Channel.
Lilo and Stitch is quite an interesting case. One episode was released on DVD alongside Leroy and Stitch and the complete series was released in Japan with the Japanese dub bundled with the Stitch! anime. The GBA Video release is the only standalone American release.
Thanks for making this! I'm planning on getting a GBA SP and GB, GBC, and GBA games. I'll have to look for these packs!
Wasnt the animal crossing movie on a ds video pak as a movie ticket preorder gift or someting? I remember reading somewhere that nintendo compressed the whole movie onto a ds card and releasing it for some promotion in japan only
Holy shit this made me remember watching Pokemon on my gameboy
I will be soon getting another gba sp, but it's going to be the nes classic edition with the ags-101 screen for Christmas!!!
I Was wondering: do GBA Videos play on the Hyperkin Retron 5 and maybe the Super Retro Advance adapter for SNES?
+rescuehero942 I do have a Hyperkin Retron 5. I should check this and record the results. :-D
Gameboy Advance Video doesn't work on Gameboy Player on GameCube! But Play-Yan Micro Does work on Gameboy Player!
Catch the start of something BIG, In your hand!
I've had 4 Nintendo products through my lifetime. I've had the Game Boy adavanced, Wii, Nintendo dsi, and 3ds. I really, really, really want the 2ds though!
Get it during Black Friday. A $129 2ds with yoshi's new island was like $70-90 last time.
wow I remember these promoms so well.
Will You Do Some "Opening To [Insert Title Here] (Insert Year Here) GBA Video
I had the Shrek 1 and 2 pack, and I watched them all the time. To the point where I still have the scripts for both memorized, albeit moreso the first one.
these are the kinds of videos i watched back in 2014
I might get a hold of some of these, if I can. I have 3 types of gba, just missing AGS 101 sp
I actually have 2 gameboy videos. Before today, I thought they were called gameboy advance sp, and never thought to look it up.
I owned a copy of Pokemon Vol 3, don't know where it is now.
Patrick is my favourite character
bra,the zelda cart is so rare its like 200 in existence!
Does anyone else remember the Juicebox?
yeah it was the only form of Survival until go gurt was made
Tbh the only reason I know about Play-Yan is because the little white guy that appears in it is in Rhythm Tengoku/Rhythm Heaven Megamix XD
Btw great video
I have the Plankton SpongeBob episode on Season 1 DVD
I would have got that Strawberry Shortcake GBA Video cartridge if I have a GBA. I used to have a GBASP, but I lost it.
Is the play on compatible with the GB Player because it's a 3rd Party Flash Cart?
this is bloody amazing!
Game Boy Advance Video: All GBA Video cartridges are incompatible with the Game Boy Player. This measure was to prevent users from attaching the Game Boy Player to a VCR or DVD recorder and copying the Game Boy Video material.[5] The GBA Video carts detect the Game Boy Player and refuse to boot when running under it, giving an error message. Even if the carts were playable on the player (which they are through the use of flash carts and Action Replay), the resolution was greatly reduced for the GBA medium, causing pixelation and sound pops that a large screen with louder speakers would pick up.
(Video Game Boy Advance: Toate cartușele video GBA sunt incompatibile cu Game Boy Player. Această măsură a fost de a împiedica utilizatorii să atașeze Game Boy Player la un VCR sau un DVD recorder și să copieze materialul video Game Boy.[5] Cărucioarele video GBA detectează Game Boy Player și refuză să pornească atunci când rulează sub el, dând un mesaj de eroare. Chiar dacă cărucioarele erau redate pe player (care sunt prin utilizarea cărucioarelor flash și Action Replay), rezoluția a fost mult redusă pentru mediul GBA, provocând pixelări și pop-uri de sunet pe care le-ar capta un ecran mare cu difuzoare mai puternice.)
I was just asking about the DS lite and I should have finished the video because you answered it
Hey, can you do something on VideoNow?
Also, gotta go fast.
I will track some of those down. Working on a video about Hit Clipz currently. :-D
Oh god that sentence was like the biggest nostalgia bomb ever, I completely forgot about those
I should try to get as many of these as I can
PSP is the best multimedia console. You can easily transfer videos, music
+Canal do game e do hardware And you could delete from the system. Overall, the PSP Go was my go to Podcast machine for the longest time because it also had Bluetooth connectivity for my Speakers.
+Canal do game e do hardware yyyyyyyeaaaaaah......... about the video, there's only one compatible format, and the quality is only compatible at 320p or below, it sucks............ just like Frozen 15:14
+Jackson Mullins (Jack The Muss) just another Weselton!
@@dmgice The PSP uses UMDs for games, music, pictures and movies
What are you taking about gba video being compatible with gameboy and super gameboy?
Nice video, Radio DMG
I was pretty young around this time, and for in-car entertainment my father had purchased a portable DVD player. Worked fine, I could actually, you know, watch movies besides Shrek. And at solid quality. Much much better solution for portable kids entertainment.
Now, why would you watch movies that aren't Shrek? ;-)
I think the gameboy advance is water proof because the one I had (just like the one he held) went through a lot of water and still worked
I have the 2 pokemon ones and I did'nt have to use the Play-Yan thing. They can work without it.
I loved these. I have some laying around somewhere, I knew I have the Dora, spongebob, and the fairly odd parents and maybe ?rugrats?
The only Game Boy Advance Video cartridges that I have in my collection are "Sonic X: Volume 1" and "SpongeBob SquarePants: Volume 2".
OMG i remember these! I had the spongebob one and the sonicX one
Whete did you buy all the gameboy advance video?
What was the first GameBoy Advance Video release?
i was surprised when they didnt release videos for the DS... i mean, they should kept going, right?
Especially since the 3DS demos at E3 had video clips for "How To Train Your Dragon" and "Tangled."
Which would be kind of cool if they sold those on the eShop. I feel there is a missed opportunity there.
i remember before the 3ds xl shreck 3 was downloadable
