Oh my but for me it may be about time for me to replace the lithium cells on my pokemon blue through crystal before I lose my saves. I have had a copy of pokemon gold for about 9 years now and counting.

Yes, because the prospect of playing Gameboy on my HD alone is worth the price of admission!

 

[yay]

Thats actually kind of cool...

indeed, my pokemon gold battery died, although blue is still running strong... for however much sense that makes. i have a mew on it too, its easier to get than you would expect.

Remove that battery, and you're going to lose your saves. You'll have to parallel a battery to the existing one with some leads while you remove the old one. I've done it before with old NES games, and it works good. Just solder some light leadwires temporarily to the board and attach them to a good battery (make sure polarity is correct). Unsolder the bad battery while making sure the temporary leads stay soldered. Solder in new battery, unsolder temp leads. Works like a champ.

Cool for maybe $20~$30

Super Gameboy anyone? This has been done...less the ports.

Neat, kinda. But i don't see why someone would pay $130 for this. It's kinda in the same ballpark as developing a token ring interface for an Atari 2600. If you want to play gameboy games on the big screen, either emulate, or get a Super Gameboy adapter (for like $10 on eBay) and slap it in a Super Nintendo (like $30 or less). Will do the same thing, and costs a hell of a lot less. I do give him credit for developing it, but it's not really a $130 item.

$130 huh... hm. Just add $70 and you'll get a friggin black wii with wii resort + extra motionplus.

Ok ok so you want to be classic, then burn your money.

Emulators! I remember coming across an iso online with hundreds of nes/genesis/gb/gbc/snes games on it that self booted in a dreamcast. Worked fairly well from what I remember. I'm sure even an Atom processor would have no issue running these games on an HTPC.

What some of you are missing is that one (1) person custom fabricated his own system. There was no known device that allowed you to play game boy games through the NES until now. This guy is a genius.

 

[d-block]

Cool, but not very practical, or original.

 

[nukemaster]

It impressive, but since the plugs are in a location that makes then un-usable on a normal Nintendo, I think it will be harder to sell.

 

[NuclearShadow]

It's neat that's for sure and I would have loved and certainly bought this many years ago.

 

[Square_Head]

Or just buy a super gameboy SNES cart

This is a niche market thing, and if I won the lotto or had some 6 figure job... I would 100% buy one of these. Never mind the fact that I would also have a small museum set up in a large room in my house full of other video games from the past and memorabilia. Ahhh one can dream...

I remember making some of those, you might have seen some of my work or maybe not lol there where so many back then. SB Inducer and all that. I still have the very best NES disk for DC ever made... Unreleased lol

No I didn't code SB or any of that I just did a lot of work with renaming files (it take a lot of testing to sort through 6,000 NES rom files for working ones and dumping clones and hacks to fit good copies in the size of a CDR) I can't count how many hours I spent creating my own custom NES and GBC disks. A waste of time? yes. Fun? YES!!! NES emulation on the DC was nearly perfect and in some ways better then the original
