Hacked GAMEBOY CAMERA takes Amazing Pictures of the Moon and Bugs

[@SpeedyGwen]

this really shows that the lens do a HUGE amount of the work in taking pictures

[@MAYERMAKES]

that process might be even a greart shortcut to create pixelart. the moon looked like it was painstakingly drawn by hand!

[@1993StrangeBoy]

Yeah, I think the game boy camera can really help on this regard since everything took from it looks literally like images from a Game Boy game

[@kuddel928]

I'm totally starstruck! This whole project is so awesome! :) From your mod to mount lenses, the arduino gb printer emulator with your self made pcb, to those AMAZING macro and moon pictures! just wow :) I think these are the greatest snow crystal pictures I've ever seen :D

[@800mmTelescopeProject]

Came here from an Astronomy forum - not disappointed at all! Great ingeniuity 👏

[@deltah9159]

This should be viral. So much effort! Good Job! It's true that limitations make you more creative. In your case with the gb camera the results are AWESOME!

[@nkw1985]

I'm shocked this video didn't go viral. It definitely deserved to because the math required and amount of effort that went into this was impressive. I'm not a KZbinr but I would advise seeing if there's any things you could possibly try to better appeal to KZbin's algorithm and reupload. This video has potential of hitting millions of views.

[@jeremychrzan]

You had so much FUN taking a methodical approach to solving a unique (and ridiculous) problem. The attention to detail, practical design, AND entertainment make this super interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the kind words and for watching :) Hope we earned your sub :D

[@Autopoort]

Absolutely crazy! But exactly my taste. Thank you for 26 very entertaining minutes and the realization that even a bad camera can be good.

So glad you liked it! It's comments like this that keeps us going :)

[@anzer789]

I never heard of this channel but it came across my recommended. It is going to do the same for others. The algorithm has chosen you! Seriously though you’ve got great skills!

Thanks mate! Glad to know the algorithm is finally doing good things :D

[@blackmennewstyle]

Man, that was one of the most entertaining videos i have seen so far this week

Cheers mate :)

[@MakerPipe]

You guys deserve all the views! This was so awesome!

Thanks mate

[@MrTheblackopsdude]

Hi, David and Aaron, please consider looking into trichrome photography. Using red, green, and blue filters, you can create colored photos using the Game Boy Camera! Another small channel called *Attic Darkroom* has an amazing video explaining the basics. It would make amazing photos!

[@MStrong95]

Next, you should try using an array of several Gameboy Cameras to get a higher resolution image

[@UNSCPILOT]

That sounds very much like a "Look Mum No Computer" video, other than being slightly audio unrelated, he does have a wall of game boys already

[@sethswheelhouse]

Happy to see you taking another shot at KZbin David!

Thanks for following me to this channel Seth :)

[@94하나]

When the brightness of moon was melting, my mind was melting too. So great!

[@Muthonikinyanjui36]

I have GameBoy camera prints from the early 2000s that have completely faded. Getting them onto my computer took decades and a GameBoy Brain attachment to store the pics in the meantime.

[@Eduardogiven]

I wasn't expecting to need to be a space electronics engineer when I clicked on the video. Great video

[@kinglud10]

Fyi,, you can get a tripod w auto tracker like from Orion, Celestron etc. Then mount gameboy camera/lens. Auto program anything in night sky and the mount will auto track. Is used in astronomy, there not too expensive these days and keeps your target in view as it crosses the sky.. love the project 👍

[@BillBard]

What a wonderfully nostalgic project! Love it! You earned yourself another sub!

Thank you very much sir!

[@rickseiden1]

Up next, using the GameBoy Camera to get enough pictures to do some photogrammetry.

[@Magic_Doge]

Bro David, I used to watch your old flite test videos back in the day xd. What a surprise to just see you in this video.

Ah the good old days :D Those were some fun times

[@REDROBRCFPV]

Wow this was a mission of a project. Great work David! 🔥🔥🔥

Glad you liked it :) Keep up making those awesome FPV videos

[@GooseWurkz]

Hope you guys make more videos, loved this channel!

[@DavePinnock]

So excited when I see there's a new video with David in. Amazing project too!

Thanks Dave

[@wanderingpinesco]

Wow...seriously cool stuff!

Thanks Shannon :)

[@KW-jj9uy]

Wow, this video has great production value. I love all the tech in it as well. I also create a bunch of high tech stuff, and hope to make videos like this as well.

Thanks man. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.

[@PhilipLemoine]

This is CRAZY!!!!!!

Dude, your channel is great! Instant sub :)

[@jdd1777]

I immediately recognized that voice. Great to see you doing cool stuff on KZbin and want to see a Flitetest reunion.

[@BobAlexander]

Nice job David - top notch quality on this project.

[@gerarddip]

Another solution for extracting the game boy camera image files: Put the game boy camera with the photos on it into a Super Gameboy in a Super Nintendo, display the images on TV, and then capture the images with a capture card.

[@HipyoTech]

This is so cool!!

[@TrackDayMaker]

Howdy hey

❤

[@DJSpaceRetrotunes]

This is unbelievably creative!

[@ChadKapper]

This reminds me of the Fisher Price PXL2000. Great episode David... I always learn so much from your projects!!

[@LeslieWorks]

It really was a joy! Definitely the most interesting thing I've seen done with a Gameboy

[@DanielHerbert77]

I made the most amazing R/C videos with that camera! I wish I could somehow track down all those 4mm tapes I made. Precursor to FPV.

[@themajik1]

@@LeslieWorks Hey Aaron! Was that you at the 19:18 mark when David said "Laser" in this vid? If not, it sure looked like you!

[@themajik1]

@@LeslieWorks I guess if I would have scrolled and saw the first few comments, I would have known it was indeed you! LOL. Nice project, and nice edit!

[@LeslieWorks]

@@themajik1 ROFL good eye dude holy cow! I can't believe you recognized me from that what the heck?

[@swissfreek]

8:40 I love this method of reverse engineering parts. Flatbed scanner with a ruler, then scale it in Fusion and go to town.

[@wilko10000]

This video is has all the hallmarks of one that's going to hit BIG views. Good luck!!!!

Really hope the algorithm agrees :D

[@TechWithBruno]

This is incredible! Amazing video 👏👏

[@Neptunite]

I would honestly buy this entire kit from you if I could. I mean if you're selling.

[@AndreyEvermore]

These photos are amazing!

[@kuddel928]

Another quick way to delete all pictures but keep the game faces (and I think the music too), is to press SELECT on the main screen, choose EDIT, then ALBUM and here press START + SELECT + UP at the same time. Then you have to press A to confirm that you really want to delete all pictures :) Cheers!

[@FrostyBrows]

This is so dope, keep it up!

[@bananieldiamonds1921]

when i was a kid, i used to use my gameboy camera through a telescope to capture the moon

[@thopal6512]

This is awesome... It's the best thing you can get being nerd

[@dragonwingfpvbyespenlossiu3808]

Awesome stuff! 😃👍👍👍

Thanks Espen :)

[@ShattForte]

this is amazing! i love it so much. i remember my gameboy camera, and to see dope pictures like this! so cool

Do you still have yours?

[@rembrandx]

While it's really cool to see this overview of different things the Camera still has to offer, I'm wondering if you know about the existing Game Boy (Camera) modding/hacking scene or individuals who did these exact same things? Could be a missed opportunity to spread the love for something you seem to enjoy yourself. I'm thinking of folks like Ekeler (who made one of the first reported Canon mounts back in 2018) or even the current 'Game Boy Camera Club' Discord where a lot of enthusiasts gather and share their work.

I did not know about the Discord group! That's really cool. I love learning from others and I bet there are plenty of people that have done much more advanced stuff than me to push their cameras to the limit

[@Stickmanfpv]

This is pretty cool! Well done!

[@hipjoeroflmto4764]

The little hand is a great investment may I suggest having a few more with different hand poses

Any particular pose you're most interested in seeing? :D

[@hipjoeroflmto4764]

@ shadow puppet dog hand with articulating pinky

[@TimBambu.Racing]

Absolutely amazing! Soooo cooool!!!

Thanks man :)

[@teh_supar_hackr]

The gb camera is the most powerful camera on earth, change my mind

[@jasonpaeth6608]

Your videos are underrated

[@MarinaBeil0]

to be fair, i did not understand as much as i would have liked to :D BUT it made me feel very nostalgic, and the pictures turned out amazing! very cool project

[@nathandd8541]

wow wow wow Its Amazing Video Great Job

[@guymanuel4260]

This is such good art

I know right! Wonder if I can have an exhibition

[@LeroyLehano]

Superb

This is brilliant!!! 💥

Thanks Captain

nice one!

Thank you Dmytro

[@chriskaprys]

So cool!

[@AchimTheEagle]

Great video!

[@martijn3015]

should actually send this video to someone at either nasa or nintendo and see how they'll reply that you were able to capture the moon with that thing xD

[@Apatetika]

You are now my hero

[@eternalprogression]

David!!!!!!?????? 😱🤩

[@rubiks_20]

here, but you’re going- 199-ile! You’re on Game Boy C-

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Super fun project 🙂 & Great images 🙂

[@knoptop]

super cool project! some nice pixel pics! I'm still waiting on my wifi transfer board for my cam.

Oh you have a GameBoy Camera as well Dave?

[@knoptop]

@ yea! I've been waiting on this output board for awhile, so I haven't been able to share any photos. I'm not sure what I was doing as a kid, but I never really gave this thing much thought.. now I think it's the coolest!

@@knoptop Which board did you order? I know right it is the coolest! I saw your video on painting yours. It came out really good I have to say. Can't wait to see the pics you take with it

[@knoptop]

@ do you have a link to where you got your tantalum Capacitor? I don't even know how to search for it

[@lightyagami3492]

Imagine bring dead for a few months and this guy comes along and takes pictures of your corpse 💀💀💀

[@Maartin2000]

Fantastic! How about shallow depth of field? Like a nice portrait?

Check out the article linked in the description. Some pictures there have pretty nice bokeh

[@JaraFPV]

Oh that mr little finger still lives!

It's like 6 years old at this point 😁

[@felipebarriga2944]

incredible

[@swissfreek]

What method do you guys use to determine thread size and pitch? Is there a good tool for this? Like, you quote an M33x2 thread. That's obviously not super common, and not something you can test with a bolt. Is there like, calipers for thread pitch?

[@co.1157]

Wow!

[@donwald3436]

1:27 It sounds like it's crying lol.

[@MarUlberg]

If you want to take this even further you should look into using RGB filters to take color pictures.

[@SianaGearz]

GBA supports booting over the link cable. It's intended so when one person has a cartridge, they can engage in simple limited version of some 4-player games. I wonder if one could write a software that can be run from RAM on GBA and link-booted and then exfiltrates all the 8-bit Gameboy cartridge data that you need to the host PC back over the Link cable? Or when you insert that cartridge, automatic hardware reset occurs?

[@tiquor]

thanks for this great video. i really enjoyed watching it. what's the filament you're using with your prusa. love the look of the dark grey with shiny flakes spots! thanks

[@DanielHerbert77]

Moon math!!!

The best kind of math

[@gorgogrottan]

That's some crazy effort! Would love to have a lens mod for my GB camera

[@ravereviews6853]

I found a faster way to transfer the images...there's cart rippers so you essentially remove the game insert it into the card ripper that's attached via USB and they have the function to rip all the images straight to pc almost instantly. I purchased a gb cam off FB market place, realised there was images on there and sent them to the person that sold it to me. they were pleased

[@laukan]

Awesome video David, just found this channel and insta-subbed! What’s the black sparkly filament you’re using?

Hi Jaakko! Long time no see :) It's the Prusament galaxy black PLA. It hides layer lines extremely well. 0.3mm layers look great so you save a bunch of time when printing :)

[@laukan]

@ Hey! amazing how you remembered me from the youtube account 😁. Awesome new channel you got here, I'm sure it'll grow huge if you keep producing such high quality and entertaining videos! Just got a voron2, gotta try that filament 👍

[@Pedrofiliac]

this is so fkn good

[@bashirokala9380]

lol it's crazy i dn't have a game boy and i know i prolly never will, but i watched the whole video

[@NathanMilkie1]

0:00 | What is the song used in the intro of this video?

[@Dazdigo]

Can the Gameboy Camera be turned into an optical mouse? Optical mice are really just cameras that detect surface changes.

[@rotnappl3568]

Great job on the MOD! On the site, the lens tripod adaptor isn't included in the step files. I was wondering if you could add it.

Sorry about that mate. I'll get on that

[@RobiticDuck]

Why does no one seem to remember that if you push Select while taking pictures you can swap pallets, and turn off or on dithering? Because...you can.

[@canlelola]

Next, take a color photo!

[@dariendude17]

16:43 What song is that?

[@mattidelcroix5792]

Can you get the photo code of an normal picture too?

[@kespeth2]

if you make any mistakes, yhe "who are you running from" faces will appear lol

[@oackgourmandi6061]

this is another proof the the camera doesn't matter

[@tutacat]

I'm thinking 10% of arduinos are just used as serial to USB adapters. Like you could use just the FTDI adapter.

[@quartzboye]

Fisheye!

[@stotheh]

Now use it for FPV...

[@bentbilliard]

Get yourself a Copycatz gameboy camera cable and an old computer running windows 98. That's the easiest way to download the pics from the cart.
