GameBoy Advance MP3 Player - Why?

Bought this from a Japanese auction (bit.ly/2Nt8uij) for under £10. It seems there is only one other video of it on KZbin and its all in Japanese. It doesnt seem to have been sold anywhere other then Japan, so I am rather excited! Ever wanted an iPod powered by your GameBoy? Probably not, but here it is!
Unfortunatly it seems they are scattered around Yahoo Auction as individual listings, so I cannot provide a link to a specific listing! Sorry!

You have to bear in mind that most kids didn't have phones when they had Gameboys. Especially in 2002. I definitely couldn't have afforded an MP3 player, so something like this would have been cool to have. I image the voice removal would be fairly simple. Have you ever accidentally pulled out your headphones and the voice disappears but you can still hear the song?

[@melskunk]

Well, in 2002 you would have had a separate MP3 player, I DID have a phone and I don't remember it being much use for mp3s, I had to have a separate device. Even the cheap ripoff stuff was easily 30£ back then(I paid about that for a Chinese mp3 player), so I can see the appeal, especially as a gift someone could get for a child.

[@Kalvinjj]

yep, all they do on the voice removal thing is remove the sum of both channels, as it assumes the voice is all in the middle. Obviously, with mono sounds you hear nothing.

There was another MP3 player made by Nintendo later on for GBA. The Play-Yan. It was made by Nintendo themselves and came out in 2005. There was even Mario 1 sprites animations in the menu.

[@nonchip]

4:00 "you can remove the voice from a song?" kinda. i've seen those functions implemented, usually they hope that the various music instruments are spread out over the stereo but the vocals are exactly centered. then you can subtract one channel from the other, and it cancels out. also cancels out any instruments that happened to be on both channels tho. and it leaves you with mono output. 5:40 those weights are "ferrite cores" (pipes made out of an iron compound that interacts with magnetic fields), through which the cable is coiled one or two times, helps remove any radio interference the cable might pick up by "eating up" the magnetic field those create.

Is it really an evolution, for something with graphics and audio to just play audio?

[@jaolmu]

It's just quite interesting because the way the Gameboy plays sound means that it wouldn't be able to play music normally, hence why it has its own headphone jack and speaker. It's pretty cool that they actually managed to make something like this.

[@nonchip]

​@@jaolmu while the GB/GBC only have some wave/noise channels (just look up how they did the "pikachu" sound in pokemon yellow, it's really a pain :P), the GBA actually has PCM, but only in 8bit 32kHz and using a very small 16-byte buffer, so it's both bad quality and prone to buffer issues if you can't provide new data to it constantly (which with MP3 means you gotta decode in advance into a larger buffer and then dripfeed it to the GBA) this is probably why using the builtin GBA speaker sounds way worse than the headphone jack on the cartridge, they have a dedicated audio chip builtin for that (they needed one anyway for the recording, and many have both features in once).

[@KyoshoLP]

Vocal removers like that typically remove any mono audio (that's playing the same on both sides). Since lead vocals are typically in mono, it can work for a lot of songs. However, if there's any stereo separation at all, those bits will still be there. For instance, if there's any stereo reverb or chorus on the vocals, it'll remove the main mono audio but leave the stereo echos, etc. And if there's any vocal harmonies, those are typically separated in stereo as well, so those won't get removed either. Also, sometimes the drums (or other instruments) are recorded in mono, so you might lose those too.

[@wolfetteplays8894]

So it’s literally just a phase inversion?

[@hi-haich]

[@emmettturner9452]

0:57 - "It doesn't seem they were ever released outside of Japan." It was released in the USA as the Gamester GBA Jukebox distributed by Radica. Despite Radica's reputation as the purveyor of crappy TV games, it remained officially licensed. My local pawn shop has one presumably new in package for $35 USD. Been there a few years at least! I did notice that the compact flash card was 4x larger (32MB versus 8MB). The karaoke mode is also intact. The way it works is that the voice is often the same across both stereo channels where the music has more stereo separation so it cancels out frequencies that are the same on both channels. I remember a WinAMP plugin that did this over 20 years ago. :)

The music must be in stereo to make the karaoke feature work. I assume the Karaoke feature works by inverting either left or right channel and combining it with the other channel. What happens is that anything in the center channel gets cancelled off, it's where the vocals are usually placed in the mix but sometimes other instruments were placed in the center mix and also gets cancelled off.

[@nancitomp]

There's a GBA video player that only works on the GBA SP and the GBM since the GBA doesn't transfer enough energy through the cartidge slot, so because of that, the cartridge has a headphone jack.

[@MikeBSc]

5:41 Those weights are most likely ferrite beads. Any wire can act as a radio antenna, and this can add unwanted noise to your audio track, or even create transmissions that can be picked by other neighbouring devices. In some areas of the world, they are required to prevent the creation of electromagnetic interference. Very important in densely populated areas. In short, these ferrite beads make use of the properties of electromagnetism to take high frequency noise and convert it to heat.

For the karaoke mode I'm pretty sure it's a center channel dipper, or like a mid frequency dipper. I.e. it's just lowering the frequencies of where singing would usually be in, it's not the best method but it can work quite well for certain music.

[@jelly063]

[@MisfitOutfit]

I had one of these when I lived in tenerife. The local vendors had a bunch of Ali express stuff and every game was a repro. Easiest way to tell was having an esrb rating on the box in a pal region. As for the product itself, it was before the ipod was as accessible or even known. So cheap mp3 players were the route to go if you wanted to listen to music in class. The radio tuner never really worked and it sounded mono if I remember correctly but you could place mp 3 files.

[@jeffreylanters]

Karaoke used to be a common feature on some of the more expensive cassette decks. It basically just lowers the volume on the average frequencies of human singing.

Great video! Sorry I’m late but interesting little thing!

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

Those voice cancelling karaoke modes just take advantage of the fact music almost always has voices fully centred, but the instruments pan around the left and right channels. So it inverts the phase of one channel and combines it with the other, to make anything in the centre, like vocals (and sometimes, unfortunately, some instrumentation), get cancelled out of the resulting modified waveform. I think I'm remembering the details there correctly but at the same time my memory's bad enough that I'm very possibly getting some minor details wrong.

Wonder if you could find it. Do you do DS videos?

[@Spyd77]

Some suggestions for the next time you make a video about media players or similar: -Try to connect the device out (or the gameboy headphone out) to the camera. If your camera doesn't have that option, just connect it to the line in of your computer/laptop and use a good audio program like audacity to record the audio. -There are extremely cheap USB multi-card readers that have compactflash slots. You can use one to download the files to your computer. -It would have been fun and informative to know if you can put your onw MP3 files in it from a computer. -Also it would be interesting to know what are the technical specifications of the MP3 created with that (format, bitrate, frequency, stereo or mono, etc) -If you want to use music for testing this kind of stuff and you don't want your video to have copyright problems, just pick any music track from the "KZbin audio library". All the stuff found on this library is to be used 100% free on KZbin.

I used to have that. WHen i was 13-14. I also had the camera for the GBA. Damn that was sooo long ago.
