For those who want to see a Game Boy Color version: ruclips.net/video/yCe_vuNdJOE/видео.html Yes, it includes colors! ...and the original version on an Analogue Pocket: twitter.com/diconx/status/1482473071709761538 Unfortunately, there are some minor glitches that are not present on the original Game Boy, but there is more contrast. So much more contrast.
This channel suddenly popping up, doing unheard of things with the gameboy and being THIS well produced really shows you just how such knowledge or skill could be hidden among us. I know this is only the second video of yours that I've seen, but I absolutely adore this channel already.
I totally understand what you mean and I completely agree. Only issue with your comment is the 30th and 31st words were too distracting. This meme has ruined me.
It's one of RUclips/etc's biggest issues. I've never myself made anything even a tiny fraction as interesting as this, but I have actually done some HW modding stuff that niche groups of people would be extremely interested in. The very thought of having to document it and produce something worthy of today's RUclips standard is still second to the thought of then having it die to bad SEO. I dare not think what sort of projects exist from people who just don't want to touch the internet scene because of its intricacies.
This man has the perfect combination of technical know-how, creativity, and grit. On a technical level, making a wifi adapter for a device is not a new idea, nor is using it to stream over a network, but overcoming the technical hurdles of a game-boy by building an adapter is a stroke of genius. It's an obvious solution once it's presented to you, but not so much when you have to be the first one to come up with the solution. Streaming GTA V is the icing on the cake. Hats off to your creativity man. I salute you!
I grew up with the Gameboy and use to always imagine playing games like phantasy star or shining force on hand helds and seeing you do GTA 5 finishes the wonders I imagined back then. Props to you. Great work
That is legitimately amazing. The fact that you can still clearly tell that it's GTA being shown through that thing, and have it be somewhat playable through the Game Boy itself? Incredible.
I was too young to have played the gameboy when it first came out, but I was born in time to see historic breakthroughs like this from the amazing modding community. What a time to be alive
My sister had a Gameboy she would always play, but she didn't believe me when I told her someone played GTA V on one. She is ten years older than me, so showing these kinds of developments from older tech is pretty funny. 😂
I’m sure the comments are filled with similar praise, but man if you showed me this video with no info on your channel or anything I’d have guessed you have 3M+ subs. The quality effort and attention to detail you put in this video is crazy. The renders and pcb animations used at B roll blew me away. Very interesting down from the idea to the execution. Add another sub to your total and I’m excited to tell people in a year that I’ve been a sub before 1M.
Sadly so few really care about this old tech. I'm learning 6502 assembly, and can get a basic program working in an NES emulator. My friends are like that's amazing, yet not one asks how I did it. In fact if I start explainjng how I did it they I can hear the zoom call start to yawn, or "my wife needs me" lol
So your insulting him .. most channels with over 3 million subs are horrible and don't provide quality content compared to smaller channels .. so wtf are u saying are u saying he sucks
@loren morgan it's sad why the fk is it sad .. why the fk should people care about it when they weren't around for it .. shouldn't they care about more important stuff like .. idk learning useful information not useless information
Yo wtf never been to your channel before first time here. Half way through the video I went to subscribe and I can’t believe you only have 50k subscribers 😮 highly underrated channel right here. Subscribed!
Love the project, but I'm curious how it would display on a GBA or GBA SP. Obviously color requires more data to be transferred, so that might not be possible (edit: without sacrifices), but it'd certainly have more contrast compared to the old DMG screen.
Yeah, the screen is a pain and I really hoped to get it better with "more light" and some contrast in post, but my color grading skills are very limited. Still, I wanted to emphasize that this is an unmodified original Game Boy, so no replacement for this video.
@@ThereOughtaBe Understandable considering you still had comments complaining about how the console was "modified". I just thought it'd be neat to see it working on the other handhelds.
@@goatlps that’s not the point of a project like this. The point of this style of projects is primarily for fun and/or technical showcases to show that something is possible.

Dude your channel is seriously underrated, I don't think anyone would've even considered doing something like this with a Gameboy. You can't see me, but I'm actually vowing before you as I write this comment.
This is so awesome. I really like the technical explanation you give, understandable by non-hardware-knowing people. The best parts are all the tiny comments in the bottom, countering all the 'feedback' you might get from the youtube comments. :-D I scrolled down to see how many subscribers you had and the amount doesn't really match the video content quality. ;-) Well done.
Second time I've been randomly recommended a video from your channel and I'm taking notice now. This is good stuff, great production value, interesting complex concepts but you made it easy to understand through a great script combined with appropriate visuals. This must have been weeks of work just to make this video and I appreciate it.
Btw 1) Gameboy cartridge slot has a separate pin that allows you to hook up any audio source directly. 2) while you can't change the vram/oam data while the ppu uses it mid-scanline, you can change other stuff, lik bgp/object pallete data!
It's a pity my Electronic Engineer's bachelor didn't give me the knowledge to fully understand what you did here, Italian universities believe more in theoretical notions unfortunately. Practical projects like this one are the things that keeps me motivated, so thanks for your good content 👏🏻👏🏻
I love how such inventive and imaginative people take old OLD gaming devices and revitalize them in some way, that being said this is one of the most useless and inventive ways of using a Game Boy, and it just works beautifully, REALLY awesome work, bravo!! =D
I remember a RUclipsr by the name of Unreal did an April’s Fool video where he showed a fake Gameboy port for Super Mario 64. They did it on the PC port by disabling texture filtering, changing the aspect ratio and resolution, and then using a green monochrome filter. This here is much more impressive, and makes me interested in actually seeing SM64 on Gameboy
Very nicely done. I'm just curious about the video production. What software did you use to animate the 3D scene where Gameboy cartridge gets broken down to individual ICs etc.
The 3D stuff is done in Blender and the PCB in particular is based on a 3D model export from KiCad.

Man, I love the content of your videos. I don't understand much but they are so well done and interesting that I cannot stop watching. I wish I have the knowledge to do these kinda stuff. Count another subscription here!
One way to bump up the framerate, you seem to have a lot of blocks in every frame that are quite similar. So with 24 extra tiles, use 12 of them each in upper and lower vram that define 12 gradient patterns from dark to light, which will stay on the gameboy and not change. Then pre-define that a certain portion of each frame must be encoded as one of these gradients (so, pre-process it on the computer such that in each frame you sort the list of blocks in the frame by which are the most similar to one of the gradient blocks, and you then replace a fixed number of them every frame). Thus you will cut down on how many blocks you will transfer every frame. You should be able to pretty easily use this to achieve a higher framerate. Of course there must be some overhead to start each frame by specifying which blocks of the frame use which pre-defined gradient blocks.
Damn first I see an incredible port of Tomb Raider for the GBA and now this?! This has been an amazing week for the modding scene. (Also, if possible, you NEED to make a Wi-Fi cartridge for the Gameboy Advance, due to it having far superior specs than the original brick.)
Quite sure that it would work. There is enough time between each hblank to jump to the next address. I have to see how it looks on a proper screen at some point. I used the original one to make the point that it is running on the original hardware, but the screen is so slow that I do not think I would see the difference at the moment.
If you need a faster way to copy from a fixed source address, and are okay with the writes happening in reverse order, you can use Stack Push into VRAM. Such as "ld e,(hl) \ ld d,(hl) \ push de". It will take 7/8 as many cycles.
Sorry, I have to come back with a question. I thought that 7/8 cycles comes from push taking only three cycles, but I just found that it takes up 4 cycles and I end up with 8 cycles after all. Am I overlooking something? When I first read that suggestion I immediately came to the conclusion that it's 7 cycles, but I am wondering now if I just misremembered how fast push is.
Oh crap, I was wrong. Was looking at timings for "POP" instead of "PUSH". I feel pretty bad about making a stupid mistake like that. But at least it does allow four bytes to be queued into two register pairs before hblank period starts, so two stack pushes can happen without reading data first. I guess the next step would be to have the IO Read register take up a larger address range to make a popslide work. But if that's not possible, maybe do a few reads into a small buffer during render time so you can popslide a few bytes out to VRAM.
If I can work an audio playback routine into the assembly source then I might try to build it myself The Gameboy can play back audio without the audio input pin- I know too much about how to do that lol
I feel like if you were streaming a GameGear emulator, this would have worked very well. Or you know, play those fancy ONLY FOR GBC cartridges via streamed emulation too :,D So much funny stuff to think off.
I got 1 minute into this video and let the wife know I'd be busy for the rest of the night. CLEAR MY SCHEDULE! IVE GOT TO BINGE THE REST OF THESE VIDEOS!

@@Rebel-hn9ly talking about yourself kiddo I don’t see any one around me who still plays on that gameboy if you want to then go do it on Nintendo Switch online where you don’t need batteries
if I may make a suggestion: maybe set something to equate the local brightest and darkest value on the frame rendered to absolute brightest and absolute darkness capable on the gameboy to enhance the contrast, since you’re going monochromatic? -there may be a setting directly in GTA for colorblind players that could help. To be honest, this video is way over my head so I skimmed it. Cool project to take on! Great work!
Thanks! The contrast of the source material is not the issue, though. If you pause the video in the opening scene and look closely at the individual pixels, you will notice that there are four different shades of green present in almost every scene. That's all the shades of green that the Game Boy has to offer. The brightest one is just pretty far from white (even significantly darker than when the screen is turned off) and the darkest color is very far from black. These old LCD screens have always been pretty bad, but two things make it even worse here (three, if you count the dust): 1. I made a point that this Game Boy from my childhood is unmodified, which makes the screen quite old - and they fade a bit with age. 2. These screens are very slow to update. With these fast moving images the pixels have to quickly switch between target states (especially if you think of them on a pixel level with dithering applied) and often do not fully reach their target intensity.

Bro this is so cool. Well done.
This is insane. Good work!
Respect that you can see enough to game with this. Cool idea for a video
We need to redirect this mad scientist energy into solving the energy crisis! Only a mad genius like this can do it! Great content, brother!
Subscribed,because of your passion.
First off this is freaking amazing! Secondly, You sound a lot like lock picking lawyer! It's not just the dialect. But the resonance of your voice!
I was hoping something like this would be done. It's really inspiring
What is this madness? 😂 This is actually pretty damn amazing. All hail the holy algorithm 😁
I am now curious what it would look like with a modded ips screen. Fantastic video btw sir.
if I may make a suggestion: maybe set something to equate the local brightest and darkest value on the frame rendered to absolute brightest and absolute darkness capable on the gameboy to enhance the contrast, since you’re going monochromatic? -there may be a setting directly in GTA for colorblind players that could help. To be honest, this video is way over my head so I skimmed it. Cool project to take on! Great work!
Thanks!
The contrast of the source material is not the issue, though. If you pause the video in the opening scene and look closely at the individual pixels, you will notice that there are four different shades of green present in almost every scene. That's all the shades of green that the Game Boy has to offer. The brightest one is just pretty far from white (even significantly darker than when the screen is turned off) and the darkest color is very far from black.
These old LCD screens have always been pretty bad, but two things make it even worse here (three, if you count the dust):
1. I made a point that this Game Boy from my childhood is unmodified, which makes the screen quite old - and they fade a bit with age.
2. These screens are very slow to update. With these fast moving images the pixels have to quickly switch between target states (especially if you think of them on a pixel level with dithering applied) and often do not fully reach their target intensity.
As soon as the assembly came out I had to subscribe
amazing work you got there pal!
This was amazing. Great job.
