Pokemon Yellow On The SNES

[@BelowAverageGaming]

I hope you enjoyed this video! If so you might like my Pokémon N64 builds as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqXYq6itgtmKd7c Did you know you could catch Gen 2 pokemon in Gen 1? You might be interested in this MASSIVE glitch video I made kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqvMeYBpmamDfMU

[@agaspiderman921]

Do you sell already made?

[@BelowAverageGaming]

No

[@Snake-sg7yc]

@@BelowAverageGaming I was always curious to play Pokemon Yellow Version on a SNES :) :D

[@alexlopez8716]

Does any one sell these .. .. I'd pay a pretty penny for these

[@JayrosModShop]

If you have the extra money to burn, using a Super Gameboy 2 is worth the hassle of not having to solder anything but the flex cable. This is especially good if you're going to keep them, and not sell them.

[@MrCrono2]

I’ve owned one for years now and I just finally traded Pkmn on it for the first time. My copy of Yellow was running on my SGB2 on my Super Analogue NT, and Blue was running on my Analogue Pocket. It was pretty neat.

[@orsonzedd]

Think I'll just keep the sgb2

[@Skarz1989]

I came here just to say what you already said

[@rangerreview1780]

What's really cool is when you trade Between the Pokemon games. Using your SNES and Gamecube. VIA the Super Gameboy 2 and the Gameboy Player. I did it on a twitch stream. Transferring my Pokemon from Gen 1 to 2.

[@benconjamon7738]

Man these cartridges are 10/10. Fantastic work with nostalgic details and the color schemes. Pikachu artwork on the box is a little lackluster not being the sugimori art, but I know you said you didn't make that one

[@razeris3519]

It’s not as simple as buying it but it looks like you can apply something like CrystaLac Glitter Glue and thin coats over any snes cartridge shell and you might get the effect you want.

[@princegoatcheese9379]

The gold cartridge looks good, but the chrome cartridge looks so cool! If you also tried to match Pokemon Gold with the reflective gold that would have been cool, too!

[@spatial_rind]

This is one of the best videos I have ever gotten recommended to me. I really want to do this after I buy the mods for my Joycons and Gameboy Advance screen. I feel like it'd give me a reason to bring my SNES into my room for something _other_ than Tetris Attack. Great video! Genuinely surprised this doesn't have over 20k views or something, it feels and looks professionally produced.

[@BelowAverageGaming]

Thank you for the kind words! It's what keeps be going

[@daiko6019]

I'm amazed you were able to design these so well. The colors look great!

[@BelowAverageGaming]

Thanks!

[@Snake-sg7yc]

I always fantasized about playing with Pokemon cartridges on the SNES :D

[@monkeybone1080]

Oh that Pokemon Blue cart is NICE. I'm a fan of modding, customising, and general retro revival and I enjoyed how detailed you were in the process. Definitly going to check your other vids now!

[@Dizzyinc1]

Making me want to own all these lol. Amazing job on these, I really like how the carts look.

[@BelowAverageGaming]

Thanks!

[@dmraven]

Very nicely done, wonderful!!! Brings back memories of playing blue and yellow on my SNES at home since I didn't have a Gameboy. I think that was back in 5th/6th grade 😅. Subscribed ✌️

[@DankRedditMemes]

Having played Silver as a child, I noticed the off pitch audio instantly.

[@DFX2KX]

Those carts are great. You probably could have fooled 9 year old me with something like that. the trading functon really does show what kind of untapped potential there was in the Super Game Boy.

[@Ellesdy1]

Subbed!! Love the colored boards inside and the fact you understand they are hidden inside and still chose to do it.. What an awesome project, thanks for recording it and posting it!!

[@discipleofhermes563]

Can't lie, the coloured boards were low-key the coolest part

Hey man, I saw your post for this video on Facebook. Appreciate the shout-out in the description! Awesome you decided to this modification, and your set came out really nice. Keep up the good work brother. Would like to chat about collaborating.

[@BelowAverageGaming]

Thanks Steve! I'd like that as well!

[@workinprogress8978]

This is a perfect example of a "Don't be afraid of soldering" video where he proceeds to show a series of increasingly more advanced solder techniques that any beginner would never be able to accomplish without hours of pain. Still really cool though.

[@BelowAverageGaming]

I taught myself how to do it using practice kits that I bought off of ebay about a year ago. Super cheap, maybe $15? Once you learn the basics your pretty much set for new challenges

[@workinprogress8978]

@@BelowAverageGaming Oh for sure. I'm just speaking from a true, basically never done it before and only wants to do what is absolutely necessary, amateur level. Not saying that any normal person can't learn how to do it, just that all of the soldering you did other than plopping a blob down on the right contact regardless of how messy it looks is pretty intimidating for the average beginner who may or may not have steady hands.

[@MoreTVO]

I'd never do this, but this is seriously impressive. The carts really look amazing, great job!!

[@calebfox1584]

Mann this is so freaking cool! I remember you saying you were working on Pokémon stuff a while back, but this is just insane. Great job on all of these, especially the trading functionality is super cool to see.

[@BelowAverageGaming]

Thank you! It took me forever to throw this all together

[@intarz]

Does he sell these?

[@calebfox1584]

@@intarz I know he didn't ever sell the n64 Pokémon games (one reason was because of the legality) so I would assume it's the same thing with these. Still is super cool to see though.

[@intarz]

@calebfox1584 I was just curious. I never got to play any of these games and cannot afford to buy them all

[@calebfox1584]

@@intarz Fair enough, although I'm sure that this SNES version wouldn't be the cheapest way to play them. If you want to play them for cheap, you could emulate them (moral bc Nintendo has no way you can purchase them) or you could buy a repro cartridge

[@knightsurda]

Man...if this had been a thing back then I would have lost my mind. I remember filling my pokedex with my game boy pocket and color just to get it all done. If I had been able to do it with my super game boy it would have made it a LOT easier. I need to eventually do it all over again since I lost my save file but it should be a lot easier now, id think anyway.

[@bineras1802]

Came here expecting to leave disguted by retrogore but left pleasantly satisfied. Going all the way to the boxes shows care and dedication for the craft. Also, having those two Gen 2 pokemon games being played side-by-side reminds me of my childhood, playing two player with a friend on a PC with the NO$GB emulator.

[@ChainguiRafaeldaSilva]

I don't know how I ended up here... I guess it's because i'm such a nerd 🤓 Nut anyways... I appreciated every minute of this. Really worth the watch!

I can't say this enough, but I do find these sort of videos oddly satisfying.

[@doug9358]

I love the look of the carts! Thanks for sharing.

[@mustafhad1158]

Excellent but I think that to give it a more "official" touch, the cartridge labels should have the traditional design with black borders.

[@exaviestivalet3393]

shells, boxes the whole 9 :3 great job man

[@jane5886]

Neat! Do yourself a favour though and get some thinner leaded solder, and thinner tips. Also if you didn't, make sure to add some stress relief to those wires, just a bit of hot glue a cm away from the connection should do. Learn to love some hot snot! In the future also consider ultra fine magnet wire, some stuff the casing will burn off once you heat it which makes it SUPER easy to work with on TQFP sized stuff. First video of yours I saw, if you plan on doing more SMD captures, look into a cheap microscope that connects to a monitor and just video capture that. Keep it up!

[@BelowAverageGaming]

Thanks for the tips! Microscope is an excellent idea

[@MrHeisenb3rg]

Saw this on Reddit a couple days ago. Was awesome to see the entire process of them. Very well done!’

[@Dark_Mario_Bros.]

You know what would be interesting to become reality? A Super Gameboy Color

[@keiyakins]

You should have gone with solid cases - translucent red and blue are the colors for Ruby and Sapphire!

[@roccocroce]

Not bad. You need to get some caps on tape and a smaller soldering iron bit. A good tip for brand new PC bees with surface mount components, don’t bother tinning anything, flux, mount and solder. This way you can make sure everything is nice and flat. You also want some higher gauge wire for pin connections / jumpers. It doesn’t take much to leverage those pads right off of the board. Speaking of short circuits, try and keep the legs of through-hole components as short as possible. Really well put together a video though, I subscribed! I would love to see your take on adding ROMs to the cartridges. Nice work

[@metalninetales]

Crystal version is full Gameboy Color hardware, where gold silver where still on gameboy hardware

[@acalavidyaraja]

don't skip soldering/desoldering recordings :( that's not boring

[@Tbug20]

I’ve been wanting to get a SGB2, but seeing that there’s a clock fix and link cable port mod for the American SGB1, I think I’ll go with that. I don’t care if it’s more expensive, I just think the SGB1 looks cooler. It’ll also match all my other snes carts.

[@electrofreak0]

Can't wait for the GameBoy Player conversions haha

[@The_Juggla]

Red and Blue should have solid colors, they look like they should be Ruby and Sapphire.

[@segamatthews5023]

There's someone in my gaming group I believe has red blue and yellow tradable versions for the Super Nintendo they were showing pictures about a month ago. Actually I think they even had pictures last year of the first cartridge but I can't remember if it was either red or blue

[@GameJunctionMedia]

Very cool to see. Recently played Pokemon Yellow on the N64. Haha

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure he was using a metal cutting pad on the dremel when he should be using a saw blade.

[@halotroop2288]

I don't approve of cannibalizing the original SGB catridges, but those cases turned out really nice! If you could do this mod with FPGA cartridges it would be perfect.

[@BelowAverageGaming]

Fpga?

[@halotroop2288]

@@BelowAverageGaming Field Programmable Gate Array It's a chip that can be programmed to act like another chip. Such as the Gameboy processor for example. If you could make a Super GameBoy board with an FPGA circuit attached instead of tearing apart an old original one, it would be far more appealing to me. It hurts to see multiple of these old things torn apart for a single-purpose project.

[@GameboyZeroOfficial]

Learning so much from this, Jeremy.

Could you do something similar for other titles? Like a Mario or Pokemon multicart for the 64, or a Zelda multicart for the SNES (featuring the Stellaview titles)

[@bunnybreaker]

Glorious work.

[@big_boy_chris]

Just an FYI, this does not support the real time clock function in games like Pokemon gold and silver since there is no oscillating crystal in the cartridge.

[@rene_deutschmann]

Great project! Really turned out great and I didnt know about the clockmod. Just wondering: was this your first choice soldering iron? It seems a little big sometimes. Did it work well for you?

[@BelowAverageGaming]

This is the only soldering iron I own so it's what I used. As far as the tip though, I decided to go with a chisel tip instead of a fine point and it worked just fine

[@redskittlesx93]

That's pretty cool! 😁

You can buy clear sparkle coat for the pokemon silver.

[@shakycameratheater]

Makes me envious. I don't have the skill to solder ironing properly.

Nice work!!! If you don't care about the clock fix or trading, don't do this mod at all, lol.

Seeing as the Super Gameboy and Super Gameboy 2 doesn't support Pokemon Crystal, but the Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance do, might there be a way to harvest a Gameboy Color CPU and it's added memory into a Super Gameboy or Super Gameboy 2 to expand the compatibly.
