2:28 A prototype of Godzilla: Monster of Monsters! The only one that has existing footage so far! Do you know any others?

0:34 That's a Ninja Gaiden prototype! Actual VIDEO footage!!!! Different music used here too? Or just dubbed in?

This just seems so insane. It's basically a really expensive recreation of a Gameboy using the NES as a framebuffer and audio amplifier. And then the cable using the Gameboy as a controller and god knows how that's accomplished given the number of wires needed. Would this really have been cheaper/quicker than deconstructing a Gameboy, sticking the bits on a breadboard, and handling the i/o with its own custom circuitry?

Wow 😮. It looks like a Game Boy display.

I presume that you got the extra shades by taking advantage of NTSC artifacting. If so, did you work out a PCE color pattern to output colors mapping? And, if not, how did you pull off getting extra shades of colors?

Godzilla Creepypasta is a better versión of this Game.

That's funny-- my first thought with the DEB part of DMG-DEB was debu: fatty in Japanese I've certainly never seen a fatter gameboy!

This comment showed up in my notifications but never appeared in the video comments; wonder why: " @endlesswanderer1753 This is incredible. I know you asked in the description, but do you have song titles at all? I was running a few audio identifiers while listening and got 0 hits on any of it. " I found out: Song A2 is "Apocolyptic" [sic] by Khyron; Song A5 is "Synaesthesia" by Phoenix in 1995.

Part 2 of this video is now up: Side B kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqjSnaZ4f7V7p8k

Yesss!! KCS support! Thank you KZbin algorithm for bringing me here

Tape dump. dumping with audio. I love the retro vibe. Totally gave me flashbacks of booting commodore programs off a tape deck.🤔 I wonder if some of those retro computers have enough memory to store and read a rom and do a simple task such as display a single sprite without color data...

This indeed is a very smart approach 🙂 I'm still looking for an easy way to dump photos taken with the GB camera.Any solutions except a dumper?

Gameboy Pocket also doesn’t have the locking tab

That screen looks really good

So just to confirm, this won't work with a GBA due to the whole voltage-switching thing, right? Maybe with passthrough cart such as a GameShark to sit in the cart slot and keep the unit in GBC mode?

Best way would be to just 3D print a power switch without the locking tab and use it to replace the original one. This way you can always turn the gameboy back to original.

Nice !😮

Underated video.

1:30 There's probably a way to replace the power switch with one that doesn't have a locking tab so you won't ruin your vintage DMG, but that might be more work than most dumpers are interested in doing.

I wonder if you could avoid the danger of cart swapping using a go-between cart with a switch on it so power can be cut/restored cleanly. Might not be that expensive to make?

If decepticon turf you just happen to stumble than watch robot here comes rumble

As someone dabbling in GB development, this answered a long time question: is it technically possible to copy program data from ROM to WRAM then run the program strictly from WRAM, allowing you to remove the cart and have it continue to run fine? Apparently you can. Although as you said it doesn’t alleviate concerns regarding harm to carts being removed while energized, the cart doesn’t have power cleanly removed and added.

Can you make a tutorial how do dump from the NES? I have one nice multicard wich I want to dump. It is 150 in 1 with the beach scenes and not unchained melody, but summer wine.

Now all we need is someone to make a flash cart for the poor man...

Pretty cool to see you come back and pull this off for the Game Boy as well. Never was in a situation where I absolutely had to use this (I'd probably settle with a Gameboy player and some custom software if need-be), but always a nice to have, especially if you find yourself in a situation where you might have to walk someone else through the process.

Wild

Used this to dump some homebrew games I worked on that I didn't have digital roms for, thank you so much! I also decided to look into KCS and ended up writing a "2bpp Gameboy data to .bmp to KCS" routine to add support for that to my game's gb printer support

I love the sheer amount of 洄 that shows up on the char representation of the cart dump data.

It's good to see the legends still making contributions to the scene even decades later. This sort of thing would've blown my mind as a Game Boy kid.

The unexpected benefit of removing the locking tab on the original GB is that you can dump GBC-only games that way.

I kinda want to try the audio line method. Have a Pocket for those needs and smaller games like Tetris and SML1.

Sorcery! I’m impressed!!

Very cool ive come across some of thoese cartridges i thought they were gameboy games at first.😮

This is very cool. It's always nice to have a poor man's option. It seems simple enough for a less technical person too👍🏻✨️

Actually pretty interesting since the audio output was never ment for transfering data but the link cable was indeed ment for that purpuse😁

Another option to defeat the locking tab is something like a GameShark or Mega Memory Card.

Great catch, things like this need attention although I'm sure it's improved now with how active the community is. The one thing FPGAs nor software emulation will ever get perfect is sound - you just can't emulate the sound of analog chips any more than you can emulate the "warmer" sound of vinyl digitally, but it's possible to get very, very close, which is what the community should strive for from a preservation standpoint

You did some awsome stuff on the game pocket computer including a supermarioland demo for it,now what it really does need is a tetris clone on it because that would make my life complete😁

Still watching in 2024

I was gifted one from a siblings friend who moved onto things with polygons. I still have it and dumb founded at what it's worth

I still got the ninja turtle game hahah nostalgia

I'm sorry but using one retro system to emulate another feels extremely redundant. Especially for the Game Boy when the Super Game Boy add-on already exists not to mention a myriad of modern emulation solutions that do it way better than this thing ever could. I'm sure your work is quite impressive but even for a hobbyist project there's got to be some better ideas than this.

How does this slip by when FPGA is supposed to be the "same as the original hardware" not like emulation?

Cool, Japanese prototype of Blades of Steel!

I've still got my Super Magic Griffin! Not searched recently, but if anyone has pin-outs for the side IO ports please post a link!

Man, your videos are amazing! I just started learning PCE programming and I was completely lost. Thanks to you, I finally understand the basics and have the documents to figure out other things. I hope one day you'll make more of these. They are SUPER helpful. It's a shame there aren't more PCE programming tutorials out there...

Thank you for all the awesome videos! I noticed this code doesn't create the same result on Mesen, and I was wondering why... I'm using Mesen, because it's more user friendly

2:17 that micro-arpeggio unironically reminds me of some themes from Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright :)

I like your results! Enjoyable and lovely to listen to. On a side note, as synth enthusiast, though, I want to ask... How one can use FM fully when making homebrew? E.g. i'm familiar with fm synths like dx7 or tx81z, so how can I use sound design knowledge in regards to those 80s hardware game systems if wanting to do a homebrew project? Did they had some external editor (e.g. for Nec PC-98) to use? Or you have to pre-define "instruments" in code of game, if yes - are there tutorials/documentation on that?

ha, those first sounds have that "rave" vibe to them)
