Did you know you can play boomba with this box? It's a game in which you throw it as hard as you can at someones shoulder blade, then turn around and they do it back. You take turns until someone gives up. Usually people play with oranges, but I think the creator would be happy to field test his controller/box/alchemical contraption personally, with a pro pitcher.

The controller has the buttons on the wrong side, and seems to lack shoulder triggers, which makes it so SNES and up does not have enough buttons.

[@zxinsWorld]

It has shoulder triggers. They're just not extruded in the 3D model.

[@pizzaboxer]

It does have shoulder triggers, look at the asterisk controller again and notice the two white buttons on the shoulders

[@vir042]

They are upside down for Snes though.. or do you plan on playing snes with the dpad on the right side of the controller? :P That would be crazy, so unless it also have shoulderbuttons on the bottom from the view we are seeing you cant really play snes and up on it since you would have to turn the controller upside down.

It was obviously intended to help make their big scary eyeball trashcan look less scary and less like it's from Portal 2 and is about to release the nerve toxin. Seriously, they should have turned their project into a horror film about an evil robot. Since the time I watched this, I have worked alot on my RetroPie install on my Raspberry PI and I gotta say, RetroPie is so amazing.

[@Ghutom]

I don't know where you guys live or what tyrannical laws govern that place but in my country we have the right to make any number of copies of the things we have bought and thus own. So it certainly doesn't sound like piracy (unauthorised reproduction) to me.

[@callesundberg]

Ghutom you can do that in every country. The problem is when you give/sale the copy. You own 1 copy of the media your free to do whatever you want whit that 1 copy use it, gift it, re sell it or make 1million copys as long as your the one using those 1million copys. But once you sell one of them million copys you are no longer the rightfully owner of the media that came from the original disk. Hope this help whit understanding what is iligal and not

[@dsandoval9396]

My cousin lives in one of those countries, it's called Mexico. Sure they say piracy is illegal but that's just for show, when I was there to buy some uh, sexual education film guides, there were cops in flea markets known for carrying nothing but pirated EVERYTHING. COPS, buying (or just straight taking) pirated merch. And I'm not joking about this. But then again those cops were wearing gold chains and from what my cousin told me those are the kind of cops nobody fucks with, because no good cop worrying about his safety would wear a gold chain in that part of town (in the D.F., for Mexican's, we were in Tepito, for you non-Mexican's kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYqud2pjrbqlppo ). My cousin told me only corrupt cops wear gold chains especially in bad parts of town because they don't give a fuck who they shoot. Not that corrupt cops go around just killing people but if you fuck with them they won't be talking you in the station, they'll just take you somewhere deserted and put a bullet in your head. That is if they decide to even take you anywhere, they'd probably just shoot you there and call it self defense.

[@shibesthetic4061]

The robot at the beginning reminded me of a walk around character in Tomorrowland at Disney World just known as the “Talking Trashcan” it basically had a cult following the two times I saw it and it suddenly disappeared the next time I went only 6 months after.

tanookitoad979 No Bloodborne? You poor soul.

[@KuraIthys]

No kidding. Licensing is the biggest elephant in the room. Like, whenever I read stupid comments about 'why does the SNES mini only have 21 games? Surely you can just dump every game ever made on such a device. It's just a bunch of ROMS' Yeah, that's TECHNICALLY true, but it's not legally true. If you don't give a damn about any laws whatsoever, making a single device that can play all 1455 SFC games in existence, and the NTSC and PAL SNES collection (so about 2400 titles and variants)... Making an emulation device that can run those games and includes the entire collection indeed is not that hard. It's only a few gigabytes of files, emulators are pretty well refined at this point, and cheap hardware can run one (especially if you can optimise the emulation code you use specifically for it.) All well and good. But now imagine you have to do it LEGALLY. The technical challenge is as simple as it ever was. But now you have to get the explicit agreement of probably at least 150 different game companies, some of which might no longer exist. (in which case you have to figure out where the legal rights to it went.) And that doesn't even cover games that were built on 3rd party licences. Such as those with separately licensed music (not super-likely in snes times, but would apply to games such as GTA and many racing games from the mid 90's onwards), film or TV licences (eg star wars, star trek, or say a lethal weapon or robocop game or whatever it might be), or a large proportion of sports games which contain licensed content from various sporting bodies, and sometimes even individual sporting stars. That, is pretty difficult. And then there's money. - let's say by some miracle, every single company agrees. Now you probably have to pay them. So what, you might ask? Well, let's say every single one of them wants $0.10 per game per device sold. Sounds pretty reasonable. I mean, $0.10 why the hell not? Well... Remember when we had about 2400 games for a complete library? That's $240 in licenses. (assuming third party rights holders don't want extra for titles that have such licensing issues) Now... What does that mean? The illegal version of this device can be sold for maybe $50 to $80 just to cover hardware costs and maybe whatever tiny bit of R&D was involved. The LEGAL version has to cover those same hardware and R&D costs, but now also has to pay that $240 in license fees per unit. So the LEGAL version of this device costs somewhere in the region of $290 to $320. Ouch. And that's on the assumption the rights-holders to the games only want 10 cents per game! What if they want $1.00? I mean in isolation that still sounds like a perfectly reasonable amount for an older game... But now our LEGAL emulation device containing the entire SFC and SNES library costs about $2500, and nobody sane would ever buy it. People gloss over this legal stuff so easily, and then wonder why these legal, above-board devices seem so 'bad' compared to improvised emulation devices loaded with illegal ROMS. Well, duh. Maybe if you actually thought it through... But no... I mean, some level this makes a great argument about copyright laws being too strong. But with the laws the way they are, this is the reality. And bringing up illegal solutions and wondering why the legal ones are so bad means you clearly aren't thinking it through. At all. There's actually a recent a research paper on the subject of copyright terms - it's conclusion was, given the actual original intent of copyright laws, and changes in significance of any given work over time, under current conditions, the MAXIMUM possible length of a copyright term should be no more than 28 years. And there's even enough circumstantial evidence in the data (after all, the data isn't perfect) that suggest it might need to be as little as 7 years of protection, after which things become public domain. This is part of the research. The other main conclusion is that as more and more works become available, copyright protection should get weaker over time. Eg, 100 years ago, a 50 year term might have made sense, but 100 years later it should probably be that 7 year figure. So... As time goes by, the amount of protection copyright offers should get weaker and weaker. Instead, what we see in reality is the opposite. As time goes by, copyright protections get stronger and stronger. (they currently stand at something like life of author + 75 years, which effectively amounts to a work being protected for in the region of 100-150 years in practice.) Based on the research this would appear to be the opposite of the desired outcome considering the intent of copyright laws. Of course, the ongoing and rather disingenuous attempts to reframe copyright as 'intellectual property', which invokes the ideas of ownership and property, and the notion that people shouldn't be able to take your 'property' from you has made challenging this stuff pretty difficult. The problem with framing copyright as 'intellectual property' is that it's dangerous to think of it in this way. effectively you are trying to claim ownership of thoughts and ideas. This is the equivalent of saying someone else isn't allowed to think these things, because you thought them first. And because ideas and concepts tend to be very broad by their nature... Consider what it means. Say you have a car, and it's your property. Fair enough. It's a singular item, cannot meaningfully be shared (I mean, it can, sort of, but only over time - only one person can use a car at any given moment.) The number of people that can think or make use of the same concept at once is basically unlimited. Any limits put in place are artificial in nature. But now think about what it means for someone to own 'intellectual property'. What if, instead of owning a car, you owned the IDEA of a car. Now, because of this, nobody else is allowed to even THINK about cars unless they have your permission. You, as a singular person are denying everyone else in the world the right to think, draw, build or do anything at all with the concept of a car, unless they have your permission to do so. That is really quite messed up. Anyway... Sorry for that largely tangential rant. XD (though copyright laws and legal issues around playing old games are inherently intertwined of course, because Copyright laws are the foundation of such legal issues in the first place.)

Does he not realize that past attempts to standardize the video game console have failed miserably? Has he never seen a 3DO or a Pippin? They fucking flopped! As you said, Consoles, BY DESIGN, are meant to be proprietary and not work with the competition. It’s meant to make money and that’s that. Now get out of my house!

[@StopDropRetro]

you are absolutely correct. 3DO is the best example. But there is a big and very obvious reason why these companies want to design a proprietary box you must buy in order to play their games.

[@nexus3756]

a big problem to with this concept now is that any console designed like this will lose. not to time, not to the flaws of the idea. but to the simple fact that they will never be able to compete with a gaming pc. if you wanted to simply emulate your games you can build a pc for 400 dollars or less easily that will emulate any game perfectly. that is it wont run into a problem of not powerful enough hardware to do it. any game that can be emulated will run significantly better on a gaming pc at the price point these emulation box consoles will run it at. and a gaming pc is a pc. it can do anything. the only reason people buy consoles is for exclusives and even that is becoming irrelevant. exclusives arent selling consoles like they used to. look at the xbox one. and ps4 right now. the sales are in decline. because instead of actually providing an experience that is unique to the console like nintendo is smart enough to do with the switch in addition to having games the consoles were basically made to be bad gaming pc's. the 360 came out focused on games and pushed hardware that was actually better than a pc could do at the time. the newest generation came out already like 5 years behind current pc tech. so how is a console like this gonna survive when the consoles that are acutally successful cannot even maintain their success?

[@meetoo594]

I had onlive via my isp giving out free subscriptions for a while. It never worked very well due to the service lagging and disconnecting constantly or the client crashing. Fps games or shooters kept freezing which ruined the immersion, plus the dynamic resolution would degrade horribly making the gamescreen look worse than a 240p KZbin video at random times. Strategy games worked better, but after a few disconnects or client crashes I just gave up and watched other peoples games instead (which was a very cool feature for the time). It was a good idea but a few years too early, most peoples internet just wasnt good enough for it to work properly.

[@aintgotnobody5518]

someone played doom on the macbook pro touchbar.....so yeah you can play it anywere

[@StopDropRetro]

lol, yeah I saw that, pretty useless but good fun. A better take on it was someone who just made the health bar and stats show on the touchbar.

[@MichaelVinci]

you doing the voice at the end had me laughing so hard

[@AwesomeWikidStudios]

I think it's interesting that portions of this really silly project is the basis for Cloud Gaming services like GeForce Now and Stadia. Kinda interesting how time works like that.

[@MajinWamu]

That Big Eye kind of creeps me out.... Looks super evil

[@xedalpha1]

That short one eyed robot just needs some arms or implements. Hows about a plunger, so it can pick things up and clean out the sink. And if it needs to defend your home maybe some kind of defensive weapon too. Then when the bombs drop we can use them as a protective shell to endure the fallout in. Maybe it could use a voice too. Thinking something mechanical and shouty, with lights that flash when it talks. ...I'm sensing a slippery slope here.

[@sotanax1]

yay a new video I love them! Keep them coming plz!

[@StopDropRetro]

Thanks! More on the way!

Dr. Obvious is a big fan of the sea. He had a ship that was christened as the SS Noshit (Nosh-it is the pronunciation, I think)

[@StopDropRetro]

Ah, yes. I am familiar with Dr. Obvious' voyage on this research vessel. It was instrumental in his quest to prove the wetness of water.

1:37 "... *you're* imagination"

[@uspresdientcentral]

Hypothetically, if he got every single game working perfectly, how expensive would the console have to be to actually make money with all the license fees and the space it would take to have all of those games stored digitally? Also, how do you play games with a sensor or touchscreen of some sort?

[@MyDadIsBillGates]

I think what Gary was imagining was something like Stadia or PS Now... Horribly imagined and pitched but potentially another example of "the early worm" effect? (Note: obviously Stadia sucks a fat one and is extremely limited, technically a centralized game streaming platform is possible but in reality and with copyright and licensing is likely to never happen unless a giant corporation decides it's worth it is super unlikely)

[@acdeditch99]

Great video, but as a technicality, you can run any algorithm on any machine. So technically if you were to do ALOT of work, you could definitely run GTA on a C64. The problem is you would need a seperate video adapter, and a way to archive each frame rendered. Assuming the engine is running natively, which would mean you would need to recompile for the 6502 and exhaustively expand the long term memory capacity. Even then IF everything doesn't explode and all the OS calls and extra assets required were brought over to this, you COULD possibly be playing 4K Grand Theft Auto at a smooth 1 frame per ~3-5 years.

[@StopDropRetro]

Roll up your sleeves! Sounds like we've got a Kickstarter idea to pitch!!

[@EdmundKempersDartboard]

This was really just an elaborate stunt to show off his retro gaming collection.

[@GenericMcName]

Yeah, that controller might be the worst thing since the Jaguar.

[@StopDropRetro]

I think I would prefer being mauled by a real jaguar

[@GenericMcName]

One would make your hands cramp a little, the other might kill you or leave you permanently disfigured. It's a tough choice.

[@suitrBJ]

He's got a nice voice in his gamer archive he should be on podcasts

[@ДмитрийЛопатин-д9ю]

Damn, the voice of the GamerArchive guy sounds like voice of GiantGrantGames guy, I hope that they are the same

[@djpandup]

And again a very nice video please keep it up 👍

[@StopDropRetro]

thanks for your support! I've got more on the way :)

[@djpandup]

StopDrop&Retro I'll be there at upload time 😂

[@savage1267]

For some reason I'm hyper-aware of that sugar cookie's breath inhales.

[@StopDropRetro]

haha

[@abb4295]

Gosh, google just announced Stadia and where not even sure if that's will go on properly XD

[@Fylasfrommabi]

the ironic part is he's right now around august 2021 someone figured out a way to program a cross stitch sewing machine to function as a low framerate black and white display with threads. XD it's frigging awesome

[@trashboye1235]

why does the gamer archive logo look like the logo for WinRAR?

[@ATh-m2u]

Gamer archive is what Xbox game pass became to be so far

[@mrsone2000]

"SpringZone" appears to be the first "original" game that GamerArchive intends to make or whatever. You can see a little bit about it in the $5 perk level at 9:45 in the video.

[@vanillasadboi]

The console looks like it was made in Sketchup in ten minutes

[@sergeyrogatin9682]

"You're a big eye" - "For you"

[@kitocco9827]

Its strangely ironic how we've actually gotten close to a crowdfunded/pre-order campaigned GamerArchive not with PCs & Emulators, but with Polymega. And even then, its not as extensive with the lack of trackball support, but the additional new light gun for flat-screens is certainly a good step.

[@Roboshi2007]

Anyone else notice that the controller is the wrong way round? The dpad always goes on the left

[@Messier_-82]

Game Pass stole that man's idea

[@lsffan]

dammit, should've backed the project when it was still possible

[@Chan0art]

literally every pitch video says the possibilities are unlimited

[@StopDropRetro]

possibility of losing your money that is

[@green90s]

If you happen to live near Riverbank CA and call an electrician, there's a chance this guy shows up at your doorstep.

[@nickp97]

Gary, Gary, Gary. Some never learn.

[@ParkRangerStan]

Does Big Eye come in "Eye of Sauron" edition? Or is "Creepy Trash Bin" the only model?

[@StopDropRetro]

I believe there's also a pink cock model.

[@curbysquad]

not sure if I'm missing it or not scrolling through your vids, but do you have any reviews on the dingoo or the revo k101 plus? and also which you would recommend

[@StopDropRetro]

No, I've never reviewed either and I only own the Dingoo A320. I used to hear bad things about the Revo k101 build quality wise but they seem to have picked up their game, I can't say for sure though. I can tell you that the A320 is great but no longer in production, hard to find and there are better devices out there for $100. If you can find a Gemei A330 it should be just as good, I don't know if they're still around though. So look into that or take a gamble with the k101. Hope that helps

[@lynnwood1911]

You almost sound like Night mind towards the end.

[@MuchWhittering]

This and Tier3D are kind of in the same category. Some guy thinks "this product would be so cool, I should make it!", without understanding that there's a reason it hasn't been made yet.

[@malfaro3l]

He should get together with the Oton X! They could change/create the world!

[@StopDropRetro]

I don't think they could change a lightbulb!

[@michaelparente5761]

gamer archive man's voice is the cure for insomnia.

[@tridexhbr8947]

I've always wanted a console that looks like the WinRAR icon

[@xdoomguy69x]

Just make a retropie with a raspberry pi just flash it with the retropie image and just use as many games as you want up to dreamcast for 30 to 100 bucks depends on what materials you use to make.

[@maldi565]

"you know everything you cant do around the house this thing will do" 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@josiaharaki7310]

To be fair to big eye, it's the most feasible robot (at least in what it was shown doing) I've seen. Even simple stuff like Lego Robotics kits from the 90s could use simple proximity sensors and ambience sensors for if/then statements or to control movement, while the rest of the features don't seem like anything an Alexa or Ring Doorbell couldn't do

[@surviveonadime]

please make more kickstarter videos like this.

[@StopDropRetro]

I will! You guys are really liking these vids so I'll keep them coming.
