Sorry for asking again, but how's that AT power supply going?

[@TCPixels]

Lazy Game Reviews woah, I found an epic comment!

[@blackfrost3512]

TCPixel hi

[@ThisDoesNotCompute]

Knocked it out of the park, gentlemen! This isn't just "how to get the best picture," this is pretty much the definitive guide on all the options for playing Game Boy titles.

[@---yn4np]

This Does Not Compute Yeah, my personal favourite is the Gameboy Micro!

[@RWL2012]

Deku Pawel the micro can only run GB and GBC games using an emulator though, not natively

[@stopthrm]

Hey Colin!

[@jordanvelazquez6321]

This Does Not Compute why are you here

[@hugoavila7704]

Definitely agree, I must have watched this video over 20 times it is just that entertaining and informative

[@TanukidLeaf]

Note: The N64's 2 layers of blur effect can be disabled. Watch RGB 304 for more.

[@TanukidLeaf]

Be sure to watch other RGB episodes (and the one episode of This Does Not Compute) mentioned in the video for more info! Please read the in-video notes for more info too.

[@TanukidLeaf]

Another note: GBI has changed since this video. Look it up for more.

[@TanukidLeaf]

PS: Backlighting a Game Boy Color has since become possible by modding the signals of the GBC and using a special ribbon cable to get it to work with an AGS-101 screen. This Does Not Compute has since made more videos. Search for Game Boy Color Backlight.

[@TanukidLeaf]

By the way, the other half of the 3DS Ambassador titles were for NES.

[@SkulShurtugalTCG]

This was the first video I watched on this channel. 2 years later, I'm happily addicted and begging for more!

[@lucyinchat]

Woah skul!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

This is epic!! It must have took you forever to shoot and edit. Good job :)

[@mylifeingaming]

[Try4ce] It did, no joke! I spent almost all of November shooting and editing it, not to mention all the research and writing that went into it beforehand!

[@zak8953]

You guys are by far my FAVORITE retro gaming channel for this reason. Very high quality content. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@mar1242]

My Life in Gaming, can you do a PS2 or original Xbox RGB video? Thanks!

[@NintendoGamer2600]

My Life in Gaming Can Swiss on the Gamecube force High Definition?

[@JorgeFoxHounder]

WOOOOW METAL JESUS !!!! Hey jesus, i bought a gba classic yesterday, and i never had one, so i didnt know how to react to the fact the GBA screen flickers, its like if have interference of some kind but some people tell me its normal, and so others tell me its rare stuff. What do you think about this??? regards !!!

[@user-rs3lg6un4n]

an hour?. . . FUCK YEAH THAT'S A LIKE

[@LeoTakacs]

Wow! I have a bunch of those black cartridges but I never knew they were GBC enhanced, just thought it was some strange color scheme! Great video!

[@kellysooth602]

This video is an A+. I don’t think I’ve ever watched something so thorough.

[@MrMario2011]

Just a few minutes in and I had no idea that black Game Boy cartridges were enhanced! Love learning new stuff from you guys :D

[@user-pi5xz5je4y]

I knew that. I noticed it when I switched from a GB pocket to a gbc.

[@LazyScoutJace]

This type of content like yours, LGR, and Techmoan to name a few are what makes KZbin such a wonderful place. Not unlike most of the crap you find making millions of views.

[@Wflash00]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

[@solarstrike33]

Even scarier is that DSP somehow has more subs than any of the three you mentioned...

[@fruityrocket4488]

LazyScoutJace ***LISPYJIMMY*** *the plague of yt*

[@badreality2]

...you ever seen the movie, Idiocracy. Yeah, that's happening in real life.

[@Abdega]

At least this video has half a million views now It’s a start

[@nindif]

The production quality and sheer scope, depth and passion within this video is outrageous and far too good for us mere consumers. Breathtaking in every respect.

[@GamingDelight]

What I still don't understand is why North America and Europe never got the Game Boy Light or the Super Game Boy 2, nor why the SGB2 was released for the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo instead of the Nintendo 64.

[@dabhdude]

Oh boy! A new episode. And its only... AN HOUR LONG?!

[@radiorob7543]

This is BY FAR, the most detailed and informative GB videos I've ever seen! I'm SO impressed!

[@Neccese]

The tricky tick Did we watch the same video????

[@medleysa]

Guys, your RGB Master Class series is incredible. I feel like I get a college-level lecture on video signals and outputs every time a new one comes out. Thank y'all for taking the time to research, test, script, shoot, and edit these - these are hands down the best resource for getting the best image quality out of retro games, which is something sorely lacking. I would hazard a guess that the poor upscaling in modern TVs is part of the reason why retro gaming is still a niche community, but your videos are working to dispel myths and improve the quality of all these older games. As a retro gamer myself, I have a deep appreciation for the time, energy, and money that goes into these labors of love, so thank you very much for making these!

[@Rocket1026]

Tri4ce did an amazing job on editing. This entire video felt so easy to watch and had all the bullet points at the end to sum it all up. Seriously good.

[@Shezmen88]

You guys are incredible ^^ A 1 hour anthology on the gameboy, very well edited too! Kudos to you for putting so much work and effort! Love you guys

[@cruststuffer3052]

Matthew Shezmen u have 300k subs and u only got 2 likes xdxdxd

[@Waifu4Life]

Wow guys, words cannot described how great this episode was, well worth the wait. I'm just gonna add a few things regarding controls sine they may be useful for others: 1- Some games were programmed to take advantage of the fact that the SNES/SFC could use multiple controllers. The following GameBoy games can be played 2 players simultaneously when using a Super GameBoy 1 or 2: Battle Arena Toshinden Dragon Ball Z: Goku Hishouden Dragon Ball Z 2: Goku Gekitouden Kettou Beast Wars: Beast Senshi Saikyou Ketteisen Killer Instinct King Of Fighters '95 King Of Fighters - Heat of The Battle Nekketsu! Beach Volley dayo Kunio-kun Nettou Garou Densetsu 2: Aratanaru Tatakai Nettou Real Bout Garou Densetsu Special Nettou Samurai Spirits: Zankurou Musouken Nintama Rantarou GB Nintama Rantarou GB: Eawase Challenge Puzzle Pocket Puyo Puyo 2 Pocket Puyo Sun Power Quest Puyo Puyo Puzzle Nintama Rantarou GB Samurai Shodown SD Hiryuu No Ken Gaiden SD Hiryuu No Ken Gaiden 2 SD Hiryuu no Ken EX Street Fighter II Super Chinese Fighter GB Super Chinese Land 3 Super Chinese Land 1.2.3' World Heroes 2 Jet The following titles can be played with up to 4 players using an SNES/SFC Multitap when using a Super GameBoy 1 or 2:: Bomberman GB (Wario Blast) Bomberman GB 2 (Bomberman GB outside of Japan) Bomberman Collection (contains Bomberman GB 1 & 2) Jinsei Game 2- While raphnet-tech's SNES to GameCube converter is nice, it has one major flaw in my opinion, the button mapping for SNES for when using GBA games. When using any controller where the face buttons form a diamond shape, it's better to use the West buttons (Y for SNES) for action and the South button (B for SNES) to Jump. Raphnet-tech's converter does not allow this in SNES mode, only NES mode which removes the convenient usage of L & R. My alternative is to use a basic SNES to GameCube converter that you can by for cheap on ebay or Amazon and an SNES Power Plug, a 3rd party device that was made by Tyco in the 90' and licensed by Nintendo. This device will allow you to remap all of the buttons on your SNES controller. For games like Metroid Fusion, you can remap your buttons to jump with B and shoot with Y. While for RPGs like Pokemon, you can remap Start on X and Select on A, giving you DS style Pokemon controls for your GBA games.

[@SkyScourgeGod]

You could also use a Raphnet N64 to Gamecube adapter as an option for playing on the Gameboy Player. It may sound weird at first to think of using the N64's odd controller for this, but if you really think about it the N64 controller with its D-Pad all the way to the left, the A and B buttons at a slant and the convenient placement of the L and R shoulder buttons may make it a candidate for a really nice controller to use with Gameboy games. If the original controller bothers you still, then you can use the same Raphnet adapter with Retro Fighters new controller called the Brawler 64 which has a much more modern layout.

[@licustoms]

Thank you so much for making this video! This was super well edited and to-the-point without extra fluff. Super appreciated!

[@hajilee4539]

Man I'm so glad I found this channel. It was years ago and I can't stop watching. It has become my favorite youtube channel. Thanks MLiG for making my down time interesting!

[@NeedMoreMushrooms]

INFORMATION OVERLOAD.... Amazing work, much quality content over this timespan deserves more recognition!

[@Sebastian-xy3xk]

Same, lol. This is so much worse than RGB Video when I was new to it xD

[@JTCPingas]

Wow, that was a long one! Once again, the production value that you guys put into your videos is just incredible!

[@SuperSanjuro]

This video is excellent. I love how thorough you guys are. Every time I start to think "oh, they forgot..." you mention it. This video is also timely, as I'm VERY MUCH looking forward to the upcoming Analogue Pocket as means of playing GB, GBC, GBA, and others on my TV and through my capture card. Great work!

[@SupaThePink]

Not only is this video well written and extremely informative, it was also very well shot. The camerawork is simply top notch. Kudos to you guys on your excellent videos.

[@Crlarl]

Holy Belgium! This is incredibly comprehensive. Great work!

[@BJWanlund]

Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. I am DEFINITELY keeping this high quality video in mind. I've been really wanting to get back into playing Game Boy/Color/Advance games, so this came at a perfect time for me.

[@FantasyDragon]

I can’t believe this is the second time I’ve watched this video all the way through. Awesome work!

[@Cain532.]

y'all absolutely NAILED the nostalgic sensation in your intro. So good. Love your content!

[@erichlfonseca]

Amazing video! Such in-depth research translated in a clean, friendly-to-watch video that can be as helpful and entertaining to enthusiasts and casual players. Good job!

[@Hatter106]

What an amazing deep dive. I LOVE these videos - keep up the great work!

[@HardboiledBread]

You guys pump out consistently super super high quality content. We all appreciate it!

[@jlemay87]

I cant believe the work you guys put in, it honestly brings me to tears you care as much as i do for this art and how its given to the world

[@Michirin9801]

You guys never let me down! I'm always learning new things in these videos, each one more useful than the last! Keep it up guys, this is some great work you're doing!

[@davidlow122]

You missed an interesting one. Goomba Color. It's a Game Boy Color emulator for GBA. It allows you to play GB/GBC games on a Game Boy Micro. But what's most interesting is that it supports Game Boy Color enhancements AND Super Game Boy borders at the same time. You can play LInk's Awakening DX, in full color with the SGB border and on original Nintendo hardware!

[@hanspeter2210]

im not a retro gaming guy, but damn, this is some superb channel. Who would take so much effort on such a small niche? Good audio, good video, good cutting, very good quality comparisons... Why hasn't youtube promoted this channel to me before?

[@Septer_Sever]

Is it weird that MLiG videos are nostalgic to me? I literally watch them over and over agian!

[@bryceschug486]

an hour might seem like too long for a KZbin vid, but it was chock full of really nice info and very entertaining. this is the first time watching one of your videos and you definitely earned the sub. can't wait to go through your other vids, and watch the ones to come!

[@Alanzice]

One hour!? Amazing content guys!

[@shoobopper]

KamatsuKyoto and the whole thing is great!

[@mrterrychaos]

Thank you for this video. I never knew about Swiss and GBI until I saw this. I now have a Game Boy Player running GBI-SR at 240p over RGB SCART (sync over composite for guaranteed compatibility across devices). Managed to get the config files to default to my desired settings and set GBI-SR to autoexec so it's as simple as boot and play like as if it's stock. One handy thing about being a PAL gamer is having a HDTV with SCART still supported and actually upscaled rather well without the need for a separate upscaler device (thank you Panasonic).

[@benhammod2556]

Now that I have all this stuff I really need a "101" on organized system functionality. This rabbit hole never ends. Love it

[@7EEVEE]

This was so fantastic, I'm sad it's over :( Keep up the hard work guys, these videos are amazing.

[@Legorio_10]

I really enjoyed that OBJECTION moment

[@HeyDadLetsPlay]

The Gaming Historian sent me here! Love it! You've just gotten a new subscriber!!

[@davidsherman7326]

Wow. I had no idea my GBA was an "AGS-101" until watching this video. I didn't even know that there were two versions of the GBA SP before watching this video either!

[@AloversGaming]

I didn't even know half this stuff existed. This was one amazing video.

[@hen0likethebanana852]

This is amazing!! Great job making this!

[@DanielSanGMR]

I love this video so much, keep returning to it every so often. Thank you so much for being part of my life... In gaming (hehe)

[@TheOogyDoogySeven]

I just watched this entire thing from start to finish... and the intro alone is what made me subscribe to you because that entire intro was phenomenal great job guys for real

[@steamsoldier]

Thanks for all the hard work making these amazing videos!

[@en4ce_]

superb episode - no clue why you just have 40k subs... keep up guyssssss.... love that content!

[@ParagonPKC]

Awesome quality content. I just love looking at the original gameboy color and it's specs honestly such a technological marvel

[@homer2369]

I find this kind of stuff fascinating even though I don't collect retro myself. These are also the kinds of videos I watch when I get the urge to start collecting, just because I'm reminded that it can be a nightmare lol

[@Rozoken]

Watching your videos lights some kind of fire for my love of vintage games. Thank you for making the videos you do!

[@surgemagma1178]

Rozoken omg it’s ROZO!!

[@sweis12]

I just wanna point out. On a modded 3DS, you can remove the dark filter you were talking about and play all GBA games perfectly with virtual console injection. Modding a 3DS is super easy right now.

[@TheRealSeiferoth]

Spencer | Sweis12 I know about injecting other GBA games, but how do you remove the dark filter?

[@XTheBlackSoulX]

TheRealSeiferoth In many injection programs, it’s an option you can choose when creating CIAs.

[@TheRealSeiferoth]

TheBlackSoul thanks. I didn't realise. I've always downloaded them pre-injected. I'll have to try injecting my own in future then.

[@theobserver4214]

TheBlackSoul Wouldn’t you want the Dark Filter however? Most GBA games were not designed to be seen natively, and for a few games “restores” GBP palettes.

[@amiibolaypunto1659]

That can cause image retention and potentially damage the 3DS screens. I wouldn't do it. The Dark filter isn't so bad in that case.

[@scottgamedev]

Incredible episode, even years later! Who'd have thought the PAL GameCube would still have a major use case? I still beam at seeing my name at 39:55 and the end credits. Thanks, folks. :D

[@rizzy81]

I love game boy classic. Still have it today with a tonne of games and it still gets played. The thing is built like a tank and it’s entertaining and takes me back to the good old days.. awesome video man 👍

[@PersianImm0rtal]

You can never unsee video games from the 90s and early 2000s after watching a My Life in Gaming episode.

[@LarryLopez91]

This channel has some good quality content. Very well researched and edited.

[@biggshasty]

Awesome video, dudes. Don't know why I didn't watch this one sooner!

[@pev789]

I am having so much fun watching this!!! Awesome video!!

[@milesgreb3537]

My Life in Gaming makes the best video on all of You Tube

[@linkchu2996]

Miles Greb

[@EposVox]

Crazy, in-depth video. Great job, earned a sub.

[@a7med228]

Didn't relize the video is over an hour and didn't feel bored . Thank You Sir.

[@jrodagormykid9063]

Stumbled upon this channel early this morning, needed some background noise while I put in some work on Skyrim, this channel is super informative and I learned a lot even while halfway listening! Liked and subbed.

[@poco5568]

I was waiting for this video for 6 months! 1 hour of MLIG? Let me make some coffee...

[@MellowGaming]

Right... 1 hour 2 minutes... I'm gonna go make coffee and get a snack.

[@FlintG]

It's cold out here in maine time for some hot chocolate and my life in gaming episode :D

[@ZiKoN22]

pretty cold here in Canada too :P

[@theobscurestash6537]

Some green tea and weed:D Just a j/k it's MrPibb and weed.

[@thesaskatchewankid]

-25 for a week! Makes for thick blood...

[@northwindkey]

It's warm in Florida. Warm in December. Logic.

[@taylorkeating6884]

I love the RGB 2xx series. Not so much for advice on best picture, but information on the iterations of systems and the mods out there. I hope for more 2xx series in the future.

[@blackstealth8168]

You have the best intro of any YT gaming channel I have seen.

[@Mystik3eb]

*applause* Absolutely stand-out work on this episode, you guys. This must've taken an eternity to research, get the hardware, do all the in-depth analysis, and put together the script and video itself. I'm seriously impressed. You two deserve WAY more attention.

[@tahustvedt]

11:25 - LOL I was holding my Game Boy DMG and by accident turned it on with Mario Land 2 just in time for the music to almost perfectly line up with the video. It was eerie.

[@Nathriel]

This video was absolutely outstanding! It has EVERYTHING! You guys rock! EDIT: I like how 1:1:56 you guys show the original Gameboy Pocket before the battery indicator light was added. I still have my yellow version that came without it and hastily wrote down every Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle II level code I could before the batteries died, much to my parents' chagrin; the only perceivable indicator was a decrease in contrast as the batteries came close to dying. My little brother, of course, got a red GBP that included the indicator light, though he eventually gave it to me since he's not a retro gamer.

[@hotmazin]

It is 3 am and I have work after few hours, but I just couldn't stop watching this video 😍

[@matuzaato]

Nowadays thanks to the 3DS homebrew scene now you can play practically the whole GBA library on the 3DS using the same method of the ambassador program, with some improvements :)

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

Holy crap that HDMY Boy thing looks amazing! I really hope the developers finish development and start selling the things soon! I really like the idea of a Game Boy sandwich, I kinda hope that feature of the prototype makes it to the final build.

[@GrantWhoPlaysGames]

Made me mash that sub button this time boys. I gotta say your attention to detail is AMAZING I have enjoyed all of your videos. I've only just recently started down this exact same rabbit hole just to play Super Ghouls n Ghosts on GBA on my game cube. Its a saga in itself, but I want to feel the pain that only a capcom side scroller can give me once more. Keep up the great works and if you're ever in Los Angeles I would love to buy your entire crew a beer. Cheers.

[@onetruth2014]

You have shown me stuff I had no idea you could get for the games I grew up playing.

[@JQueasy]

I feel like I went through a college level course.

[@Jelster64]

Absolutely astounding work. You guys are awesome

[@RefugioVillegasIII]

I like watching My Life In Gaming videos. They are very in depth and knowledgeable on the video game topic on just about every topic.

[@indrachaudhari7874]

This video is on documentary level.. great work guys...

[@zebular]

*slow clap* Amazing video and in depth information as always gentlemen. I've never once watched one of your videos and thought "Why didn't they touch on X as an option.".

[@TheMetalIsNeon]

I believe that you missed the fact that some Super Game Boy enhanced games have extra audio effects when played on a Super Game Boy, using the SNES's sound chip.

[@mylifeingaming]

[Try4ce] Yeah, we acknowledged that there are features besides colors and border, but didn't say what. Since the video was so long as it was, we tried to mostly stick to video-related aspects. Though we went off the rails a few times, like with the Hori controllers.

[@TheMetalIsNeon]

***** No worries, just something I thought I'd mention. I look forward to the development of the game boy screen replacements.

[@Sebastian-xy3xk]

That's true ^^ One example is Toy Story on the Game Boy

[@TheMetalIsNeon]

Helloz World Donkey Kong Classic and Kirby's Dreamland 2 are honestly some of the best examples.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

Man, I love this video. Such a great video. Seriously, it’s beautiful. A++ I consider this the definitive guide to playing Gameboy games.

[@The90sGamingGuy]

Wow, this is the most detailed video about Gameboy family of handhelds. I've played GB,GBC,GBA SP,DS and 3DS. I currently own two 3DS XLs, GBC GBA SP and GB player for Game Cube. I haven't done any mods to my handhelds but the mod makes games look really good and crisp. Great video guys keep em coming.

[@Johntron5443]

23:42 ahhhhh there’s my pixels

[@PlayerFiveVids]

4:43 "Don't step there! The ground's painted on an animation cel!"

[@mahjongasaur7099]

Why am I only learning about this channel now?? Subscribed!!

[@r9delta104]

This video drove me to order a Super Gameboy 2 and Everdrive GB X5 to go along with the Super NT that should be here by thursday. I'm so pumped. It should re-invigorate my love for all things Gameboy.

[@mikeJRthe2nd]

"I'm so ready for that Game Boy Episode to be out!" *Over an hour long* ".... Let's do this!"

[@bobdotexe]

Wow,Tons of great info here! The only one extra thing worth mentioning is the 'monster brain' Aside to being a cheat device, it allows custom pallets for GB games on a real GBC, it can also (attempt) to run GB games in GBC mode with the extra cpu speed As well as stipping Dual mode GBC games back to GB mode, so you could run Say zelda DX or tetris DX with one of the generic gbc pallets (including black&white)!

[@mylifeingaming]

[Try4ce] Woah that's very interesting, I had never heard of that! It also appears to be very cheap. It seems to be designed for Pokemon games. It works with any Game Boy game, though? I've just never been that big of a fan of the GBC palettes.

[@bobdotexe]

Yes, it works for just about any gb/gbc game. and it even has a feature that makes it act as a budget 'mega memory card' It's a great device that many people have never heard of! and unlike the SGB, your custom pallets can be saved in the devices (non-volatile memory) I'd really suggest checking out!

[@deflekt]

very in-depth info!!!!!! love it, very detailed too, awesome work !!!!!

[@MonsterVisionNB]

I do have to say, this video helped me out a great deal with my Game Boy Player and Super Game Boy needs. I seriously can't wait for later this year when the Hyperkin Retron JR. comes out and you guys can give us the proper review of it as only you do. I hope it becomes the definitive way to play GB, GBC, and GBA games on the big screen.

[@DieFischbude]

Great Video! My biggest problem with things like the Game Boy Player is the missing 'Super Game Boy Colour'-Support. A lot of black GBC cartridges have really nice custom borders but the only way to see them is the regular Super Game Boy which isn't able to utilize the additional colour. The Game Boy Player on the other hand gives me complete the complete colour but sadly ignores all SGC contents. So the only way to play 'Game & Watch Gallery 2' with the awesome borders an full colour on my TV is via emulation. Sad...

[@paulink]

Man, I have component cables for my cube but I didnt realize the official software isn't good. This video is inspiring me to get some gamecube homebrew, but I don't know what exactly I need to start.

[@mylifeingaming]

[Try4ce] Some sort of SD media card reader for GameCube memory slots for starters. Then, your disc-launcher methods are either an Action Replay, or there is a method you can use via Super Smash Bros. Melee, which I am unfamiliar with... should be easy to search for, though.

[@TheRealSeiferoth]

paulink you can build your own SD memory card adapter. Or purchase an SD gecko (they were pretty cheap back in the day, not sure if they're still that easy to come by though). Then if you have an action replay, there is a set of codes you can use and instead of swapping discs you just open and close the lid with the action replay disc still inside and it will boot from your SD gecko (or DIY adapter). You need certain files in certain places on the SD card but just Google and you should find what you need.

Are you guys not doing the "Welcome to RGB 208" line anymore? I always liked that.

+RaptureWillRiseAgain [Try4ce] Heh, I guess we mix it up a bit. Usually that line is born from not having any better ideas for how to get into it. It may come back in the future!

I remember getting a Gameboy SP when I was young and playing The Urbz for literally hours at a time. It was amazing.
