The GBA is More Advance Than You Think
While on the surface the GameBoy Advance might seem like a pretty basic and (by today’s standards) archaic device, when you look deeper into the various add-ons and accessories that were released for it you’ll find that it was actually pretty modern and ahead of its time. You could turn your GBA into a full MP3 and video player with things like the Play-Yan and GBA Video. Give it Facetime like capabilities with the Campho Advance, and even add completely new ways to play with games like Boktai and WarioWare Twisted. So, lets take a deep dive into the world of GBA add-ons and accessories to see what the GameBoy Advance really is capable of.

What Happened to Donkey Kong?
มุมมอง 9K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
Donkey Kong is an industry icon. He’s been there from the start, catapulting Nintendo into the legendary status they’re still known for today. He’s had plenty of top selling games, cartoons, a plethora of merchandise and more recently, is even being immortalized with his very own theme park. But, over the years Donkey Kong’s prominence has faded. What was once a franchise that dominated the Sup...

Do N64 Games Need Remakes?

During its 1996 release, the Nintendo 64 took the world by storm.

At Least They Tried..? - Paper Mario: Color Splash

Just like the Wii U, it’s no secret that Paper Mario Color Splash was a massive disappointment. Its announcement during a 2016 Nintendo Direct was confirmation that the formula established with the N64 original and The Thousand Year Door was truly dead.

    I know that the advancements (pun intended) in gaming have kinda slowed down these last few generations, but I nor anybody who was there can emphasize enough just how massive the leaps were generation to generation were at this time. My first console was a GBC, and I was obsessed with Pokemon Red. Then I got Pokemon Silver and I was like "oh shit the sprites are in color!" Then I got a GBA SP with Pokemon Sapphire and y'all would have thought I was playing Ghost of Tsushima on a portable console AND I can watch Ed, Edd, n Eddy? My mind was *blown*. Even now my Switch gets way more playtime than my Xbox Series X because every time I'm holding it's like the last 20+ years of the development of handheld gaming catches up with me at once.

    3:25 while this error says something about Windows XP, there is a way to at least fix the garbled characters in the message. It looks like this because it’s in Japanese, and the app is designed to use Japanese character encoding (Shift-JIS rather than Unicode). The easiest way is to use a program called Locale Emulator. It will let you run any program with Japanese locale. Some Japanese programs refuse to run because they rely on files with Japanese filenames, and crash if they can’t access these files correctly. If not, at least you’ll be able to screenshot the error text and paste it in Google Lens to get the full story. Alternatively, you can change the setting in Windows to change the default character encoding. Control Panel > Clock and Region > Region > Administrative tab > Language for non-Unicode program. Be aware that this will change the \ in Windows filepaths to ¥.

    Playing anything with the Wii U GamePad is just awful. SM64DS plays better on 3DS. But there is a mod for the emu on PC which binds the controls of the touchscreen to a stick, this is the definitive way to play SM64DS. Even though I personally like the original more.

    Another moron that calls OoT3D and MM3D remakes, when all Nintendo did was give Grezzo the game code from the N64 versions to modify. They are remasters. Nearly the entire R&D of making a new game is removed when Grezzo started with the entire source code. People have known this for nearly a decade, and I guess nostalgia has people like you calling things improper terms. Do better.

    I found out how the specs of these videos a while ago, it's sort of a very low quality Cinepak version compiled for the GBA's tiny specs. It's even compatible with my Everdrive, loading almost instantly. The only caveat is the hard 32M ROM size limit, but if you go for quality over speed you can get some real nice results. Music videos for example, they look and sound like nothing I've ever seen on the GBA, it's definitely worth a try!

    one kind of interesting thing about the Tilt Sensor is that supposedly Diddy Kong Pilot was originally going to use it, before Rareware got bought out by Microsoft. it might be possibly that Banjo-Pilot either didn't use the tilt sensor either because of Nintendo confidentiality on new technology, or the game was simplified in mechanics to keep costs down. almost all the games that uses the GBA tilt sensor shares a developer with the one used in Tilt N' Tumble, aware that the game itself wasn't originally going to feature the Kirby IP, so it definitely wasn't a HAL-devised idea. Nintendo R&D2 did both Kirby Tilt n Tumble and Koro Koro Puzzle Happy Panechu!, technically also Warioware Twisted, however R&D1 and 2 got merged into Nintendo SPD (later merged with EAD into EPD). SPD in group 1 handled Twisted, though SPD2 supervised on Drill Dozer which at least had a rumble motor. Twisted had a combo rumble/gyro. Semi-related to the Rareware buyout, Nintendo wasn't involved with the GBA versions of the DKC series until the second one. seems to be a hard-ban on DK content until 2004 within nintendo, with stuff like Jungle Beat and Konga. Rare definitely cooked far better with 2 and 3's extra content, compared to Mario Advance 2's. 1's is kind of in the background and 4's was mostly e-reader based. guess 2's is there but it's a screencrunched yoshi's island!. a yoshi egg hunt, ability to teleport to any stage or 6 more levels isn't that major compared to the e-reader contents. the DKC port elements added something to things.

    You're killing me with all the mispronunciations here...

Though learning how complicated it was to even get it working... I probably would've been disappointed and frustrated not being smart enough to know how to use it properly. Also as you said, as time went on, it became more and more obsolete, especially with modern cellphones now. ...Kinda also reminds me of wanting the TV Tuner for the Game Gear as a kid, which also is obsolete as hell now.

    I love your video essay and insta-subscribed. I have a bit of a gripe with your citation of the article describing an $8,000 video conferencing rig, though. Skype debuted in 2003 and was already widely popular in 2005--webcames were commonplace, even if not yet ubiquitous. You could very easily spend less than $200 and get to video conferencing on your PC in 2005. Maybe you were going for ironic hyperbole and I'm taking it too literally? I dunno.
