I never figured out how to emulate shit on my phone lol
idunnoyou
Download an emulator.... Download rom.... Start emulator.... Choose rom.

Looks like trash. Probably handles like trash too.
Wellshiet
Absolutely disgusting.
TacTheScribbler
Blasphemy! I want the original brick back!
VampireLife
Too bad it got such bad reviews
MrFunreal
Pretty sure thats just the "my old boy" emulator and the gameboy case is just cosmetics

Apparently this device wasn't all that great, which was a shame to hear. I wanted one.
PiGiSpi
If it wasn't a phone, it'd be cool.
VaIerie
I remember when I was in Elementary, a kid in school had a gameboy micro. Those things were so cool to me 'cuz they were so easy to hide.
ArugulaZ
Hugely underrated system. I had one in college. Heck, I still have it! They're worth a lot of money now!
VaIerie
I wanted one so bad 'cuz the teachers then were stingy about that stuff so you could hide it in your pocket and play on the playeground. :(

Seems a lot simpler to just get a real gameboy.

Can I use this and run an emulator in the cartridges place?
Nullspeak
i wish all of these fuckers complaining about how piracy is easier or how unnecessary this is would go fist themselves because they're wrong
onerepmax
I got a bluetooth controller, and tried running snes emulator om my android, it works, but the input delay is terrible.
savax7
raspi + retropie. What controller did you get?
onerepmax
Some steel series one, dont remember the name off the top of my head.
idunnoyou
Moga controller is nice for emulation. Retro pie is fine for emulation too but use a pie 3, the zero lags.
MichaelaWeasley
Where do I get this for an iPhone X and a Google Pixel XL 2???

I need to recreate this
MimDarling
You could just like buy one. ...
Gillzatron
Get a retro mini there Round 50and have lots of games for the Gameboy stored
WhereIsWaldoHiding
Any good games?
CaptainBonehard
Why do you need the cartridge if you are going to run the game through an emulator anyway? Just download the ROM.
Nullspeak
you clearly don't understand why this thing was built in the first place, mate
WhereIsWaldoHiding
Can I use this and run the emulator instead of the cartridge?
n432984320
Yes, it acts like a standard controller, the cartridge reader is a bonus. Also it has triggers!
BrotherEstapol
Maybe cause ROMs are illegal. This is easier to sell cause it's using original games...also, maybe you want to use your old saves?
GeekMan
(1) ROMs are not illega, possession of ROM without owning them or a physical copy consitutes copy infringement which can be taken to trial
GeekMan
Step further iirc laws say legally you can have a copy of something like ROMs so long as you have proof of purchase and destroy the original
GeekMan
So you basically null your license agreement if you obtain a copy of an IP but don't have proof it's a back up etc. It's all grey area stuff
BrotherEstapol
No. In short, it is illegal: https://www.kotaku.com.au/2016/08/are-roms-legal-in-australia/

GeekMan
Kotaku isn't the best source m8
BrotherEstapol
Why not? The original source is a lawyer. Also see my other reply with the page from Nintendo. Give it a google mate.

You cold just get a game boy SP, play both gb and gba games. Also the battery life is much better than a phone.
RedDwarfIV
I have a GBA with an SP screen. Was a fun mod to do and works great. Get the backlight of the SP but the ergonomics of the GBA.
GuardsmanMiku
can't plug a game boy into a power bank
nolittleplans
Oh yes you can just get one with a 12v output up to 5A.

battery is fucking INSANE
nolittleplans
Wait but with his you can have every Gameboy game ever made ever on a card the size of a chicklet
tynansdtm
Yeah but headphone jack
cnutmuffin47
GBA has that, and can play gbc games
ferafish
GBA had headphone jack but no backlight.
Gamemaster64
or the 3DS since all 5 Megaman GB games are on it.
candle340
Just make sure you get the right model. one is front-lit and one is back-lit. the back-lit one is better.

I'll take that bet: https://zerolemon.com/collections/samsung/products/galaxy-note-8-battery-case-10000mah
GrampaJack
Resolution on the phone must be amazing though, right?
whyexactly
I think it'd look about the same, the game is only designed with so many pixels. It just means each visible pixel will be made up of lots ++
whyexactly
++ of actual pixels.
Zaayl
Games gonna look mostly the same regardless, they are primitive games and the SP was the top of the line for displaying them.
GuardsmanMiku
citation needed but it will probably still look better, more crisp looking
bananerbread
The games are 8 bit. You can literally see each individual pixel. Higher resolution would do nothing.
MrThou
Actually if we’re talking gameboy titles here, Super Gameboy for SNES was probably the best way to go (or for portable, 3DS has megaman)
Metatality
Then just put an emulator on your phone so you don't need to carry that bulky mess with you.
AmArschdieRaeuber
You need the buttons though, most games are hard to play without feeling where the buttons are
IWrestledABearAndWon
They sell actual controllers for phones/pc that are bluetooth or wired. I use a small one from Ipega. The PG-9017s, it's a good small size.
IWrestledABearAndWon
I actually run a playstation emulator on my phone too, and cast it to tv's. With the controller and phone you can play 2 player games.
Metatality
Thats a reason to grab an SP, it still doesn't justify this....thing. SP is smaller, less buggy, and can flip closed to protect the screen.

I still have my GBA portable. Cheaper. Better. Longer lasting battery. This iPhone plug in is decidedly dumb.

I gotta play through Yellow again after seeing that

Hot, love the scheme!! Playing blue myself currently.

Nice is that a gameboy color in DMG color scheme.
Pizzzzzza
Great way to take a break if you get tired at work
GameBoyGamer
Sure is :).
TheDrunkenWrench
I chose to revive my gameboy pocket instead of the colour because it's more compact
VirtualNaut
As that may be true, though you can install a GBA-SP LCD into a GBC and be able to play games in color and in the dark. If I can do this on
VirtualNaut
a GBP I so would, as I think it was the perfect size for a handheld.
TheDrunkenWrench
IIRC they make backlight kits you can install. There's a big mod community for gameboys in general
VirtualNaut
That’s good to know. That means I can make my GameBoy Pocket look like a GameBoy Light. Thanks for the info, will look more into it.

Buying some tires? Or maybe selling some tires? I recommend Cooper over Firestone, personally.
Tornadotaco
How do you feel about Roy Rogers though?
GameBoyGamer
Airshocks for industrial applications. I buy used tired personally, they're cheap and I drive a lot.
