The super GB booster you have is defective. Ive seen ones that work properly with gameboy games. ALSO the trainer mode DOES work if you know how to use it. The way it works is you have to narrow down the cheat search by giving the variable change you want to affect. For example if you want an extra lives cheat you have to die in the game and immediately after you die go to the trainer menu. Do this over and iver and it will eventually give you a code for extra lives or infinite lives.
But that'd require Rerez to put EFFORT and RESEARCH into their videos. How can they be the next PewDiePie or WatchMojo, pumping out clickbait video after clickbait video, if they did that?
i'm not, honestly; in fact, i'm more surprised he's actually gotten this much attention on it, despite the gaming historian covering a *functional version of this* in a much better video 4 months ago if this is how videos are made today, then there's nothing stopping me, much less anyone in the comment section, from making a poorly informed, poorly researched, poorly *made* video on anything right now
The trainer is actually a cheat searcher, like Cheat Engine for Windows. You search for values that go lower/greater until you find the address you want, then you can give yourself infinite lives etc. Too complex for any kid to work out anyways.
Exactly. He seemed so sure that it was supposed to identify the game and list cheats. ;) Rerez: Cheats are just modified/frozen RAM addresses. To find the address you are looking for, you have to search for addresses where the value went up, down, or stayed the same according to what was happening in the game. If you lost health, it’s probably one of the addresses where the value dropped. Hit the Down arrow so the Trainer knows to toss out everything that went up or stayed the same. If your health stayed the same, then all the other values that changed are not it. Hit the equals sign so the Trainer knows to throw out anything that changed, like timers and frame counters and such. If you die and respawn with all your health, then it’s probably one of the values that increased. Hit the Up arrow so the Trainer knows to throw out anything that went down or stayed the same. If all went well, you will have narrowed it down to a few addresses. If you have two, then one likely represents the life bar graphic and the other one represents the actual health. Enable them one at a time to find out. BINGO! Infinite health. Do the same thing to find the value for your life counter or continue counter if you want infinite lives/continues.
I think your one is defective. I’ve seen some working copies of this. They are still garbage, but they play the games much better without anywhere near as many issues, I’ve also seen versions where the games you tested work, and where the trainer mode works. Also, the Super Game Boy literally has a Game Boy inside of it. This thing doesn’t. So a working copy of this is actually a decent technical achievement, as it emulates Game Boy games through software on a fairly weak console, and does a decent job of it, aside from the audio.
odds are, the one he got is defective. If I remember correctly, there were at least two different adapters you could plug into the Nintendo 64 and play GameBoy games. One of them plugs into the controller. I think the other one plugs into the bottom of the system but I could be thinking of the GameCube when it comes to an adapter for GameBoy games that clogs into the bottom of the system. It might be the GameCube. I know there was an adapter for the GameCube to play GameBoy games and there was an adapter for the Nintendo 64. One for the Nintendo 64 that I had worked just fine and work the same as the super Game Boy. Aside from it. Log in the controller and not in the system itself.
It's not really that impressive when you look at emulators like IMBNES on PS1 that can play most NES games full speed with sound. It wasn't even a more recent development... I was playing NES games on my PS1 back in 2001.
@@RichardCraig Yes! IMBNES for PlayStation is quite an achievement and it runs just fine with that low-end hardware... It has really well optimized code
You do know that the Super Game Boy actually had the basic guts of a modified Game Boy inside, right? The SNES didn't have the horsepower to run GB games in emulation either. MAYBE, the PlayStation could have handled it in the hands of more capable devs, but that's obviously not Innovation.
"So I can play Pokemon with a Playstion controller?" Yep, you sure can. But just not with this thing. lol You need a Playstation to USB adapter, and then plug that into your computer and then configure your gameboy emulator to work with that controller, and there you go. Pokemon with a Playstation controller.
You're supposed to use the trainer to search for cheats by tracking a value and telling the trainer if it's changed, increased, decreased, or stayed the same. So for example, if you're trying to find an infinite lives cheat, you periodically keep telling the trainer that the number of lives you have is the same. When you lose a life, you tell the trainer the number has decreased. When you gain a life, you tell the trainer that the number has increased. Eventually the trainer will narrow down which memory address stores "number of lives", then you can just set that number permanently to 99 or 255 or whatever the highest number is.
actually, the gaming historian made a video talking about some of this super gameboy clones and there he explained how the trainer option works. (pd: see it plz, that channel is awesome!)
Rerez, the code menu worked fine you just didn't research. Also the reason it wasn't good was because it was software emulation while the sgb was hardware emulation.
At the moment he said he didn't care about the N64 version, never tested GBC games or even mentioning to see if the games ran for others; which is the number one thing most people, even him in the past, would do if something isn't working; you should have realized he didn't do much research.
I remember seeing these in some of those import/liquidation ads in older magazines, but have never seen one play before. I'm sure since they were cheaply made, you might have one that's broken, either that or your games aren't sitting properly. But it's still cool to actually see one in action.
The Trainer menu does work, if you have a working device. The Gaming Historian explains it brilliantly, but it generates new codes based off of what you do in game, e.g. you die, and it comes up with codes that can affect the lives counter.
Interesting... So, Pokemon - Use a Potion = Inf Potion in Bag? Catch Mewtwo = Mewtwo encounterable in the Wild? Almost like teaching it what you need in the first place.
@@Roadent1241 Pretty much, sometimes you need to do the same thing multiple times for it to realise exactly what you want, but it literally trains it. It’s so cool.

Bleem is worth taking a look as it did something great while infringing many copyrights. This made me turn my head as a child when someone was playing Bleem Gran Turismo 2. I just could not believe my eyes that GT2 was so High Quality and I was saying "That's Gran Turismo 3 ain't it?" Then I was told no it's GT2... I re-doubted that statement for long.
We definitely want a video on it. If you can get your hands on the Metal Gear Solid, Tekken 3, or Gran Turismo 2 packs. THere is also a compatibility list here. www.whipassgaming.com/genesisreviews/Bleemcast/bleemcastcompatibility.htm
well yea!! if you got a windows 98 rig that can do it. I think the newer emus are getting close to what bleem could do with rendering resolutions and so on
Every detail you skip is seven comments about what was missing, though. He could have just said, "it doesn't work," but then you'd have people going on and on about it.
Some people enjoy watching these videos. The fact this thing was a piece of shit is something you could say in 5 seconds, but its fun to watch it fail. If its not fun to you, then I'm not sure why you would want to be here. By your logic, why even bother watching a movie, reading a book, or playing a video game when you could just read about the ending and know what happens?
Go and gbc is same handheld. Actually gbc is just color modded version of gb. You can play gb games on gbc and play gbc games on gb. Only thing diffirent is colour mod that’s it.
I think this device deserves a second review with a unit that isn't defective... I know its really hard to check to see if these rare and off brand devices are working as intended but this is 10 minutes plus of miss-information.
It *did* work well. Your copy of this player is broken as all those games worked fine on mine. The trainer works perfectly fine and you didn't understand how it works. Ditto with the palette creation tool. The two issues that it had were the slow speed and the lack of audio. I played through Pokemon Blue this way without issue though.
The way trainer is supposed to work is by making true value you wanna change either go up or down, and press the corresponding arrow, and repeat until it narrows it down to just few cheat codes.
I love your videos, but please take a little more time and do your research next time. You failed to check if yours was defective or not (which it is; the compatibility normally isn't nearly that bad, and I don't recall the visuals being that flickery), wrote off the trainer as an unusable code list of sorts without making an attempt to research what it might actually be, and failed to try any Game Boy Color games despite going out of your way to point it out earlier in the video.
Demonanimator this is the only one where I have seen it this bad. It’s not innovations fault dipshit, it’s a 20 year old piece of hardware, it probably broke over time
So I found something called the super widebody and it's a working GBA cart for the N64 however it's pretty much impossible to get hold of because it was used by Nintendo but it was a fully functional GBA with a link cable too, it's a shame it was never fully released. (there was a GBC version too)
Trainer only works if a value rises or decreases. For example if you died in super mario, then went into trainer and click the down arrow icon and repeated a few times, then it might give you some cheat codes
The trainer is a code generator similar to that in the GameShark/Action Replay. It looks for values higher or lower from the last time it was run until it narrows down to the code you want. For example; fire your gun then search for a lower value, fire it again, search for a lower value, reload it then search for a higher value and so on.
Came to say this. I don't have this device, but I recognize the operations from the symbols and having used a GameShark. When you begin, it takes a snapshot of the Gameboy's memory. Then when you select one of the operations (less than, greater than, not equal, equal), it compares the current memory contents to the snapshot and narrows the number of possible cheats based on that requirement. Typically you would do something like begin, exit, shoot your gun, go in and pick less, repeat a few times to narrow the list, maybe pick up ammo and click greater than. Once you get it down to just a few cheats, view the list and write down what's there. Then you try each of those codes to see if they crash the game, do nothing, or give you unlimited ammo.
i remember these, the plan was to have disks come out that would have updated lists of codes and emulator updates, it never happened, but a few devices had this kind of fate, the idea is kinda cool but, i would rather get a dreamcast and mod it to use sd cards personally...since it can also emulate alot of older systems very well, hell the only real reason it failed, wasnt piracy, it was the lack of dvd playback support when both sony and ms where bringing out their units that, both had dvd drives. the ps3 sold better then the xbox 360 at least in part, due to the fact that MS backed the wrong horse with hd-dvd, however, i liked the idea of just having hybrid drives hd-dvd and bluray in one unit...sounds good to me, but then, i was hoping to see HVD or even see them use MagnetoOptical disks, that would be much harder for average people to copy, but also allow for higher capacities
I remember the *Official* PlayStaiton Magazine in Italy talked about it in the '90 ... but hey, they also used to publish spots for local stores that used to mod PS1 consoles and they talked about weird stuff (like an article about FFVII Hentai for some reason) those where wild times here. lol Anyway playing Nintendo games on PlayStation is not that weird to me, I'm used to emulate Nintendo stuff on the PSP, PS2 and the PSVita since Igot my day one PSP, and the first time I ever saw Mario was on a NES Emulator for PS1 around the 2000 in a friend's house.
9:34 : Even the French translation on the back of this box looks cheap. I can see a bunch of grammar and spelling mistakes such as "Perment", "jeox", "Pleinecran" or even "choijc".
It's weird. I didn't know this existed until I heard about it from MyLifeInGaming. My original PlayStation stopped working right like it won't read game Discs anymore that I threw it in a dumpster and replaced it with a PSOne.
I've heard (don't quote me on this) that the limits of the gb ram is 8192. So it looks defective to me as the cheats list goes up to 8192 then says it can't display.
2:15 not true if you have a SCPH-9001 or later models then it doesn't have the I/O port. Like mine that I got from Goodwill awhile back is one of the SCPH-9001 models that says the manufacture date was July of 1999. So that means the ones made before 1999 had the I/O port.
You should do more research when you do these videos. 1. The super Nintendo never ran gameboy games, it was instead used for video output and controller input. The super nintendo was not powerful enough to emulate the gameboy. The super gameboy cartridge pretty much was just a gameboy. That's what was running the games and why it was a much better experience. This on the other hand seems to be using emulation. To be fair, it's not a very good emulator, and there's a gameboy emulator for ps1 that is much better, but you definitely can't knock it because it doesn't have gameboy hardware in it. It's not really a fair comparison. Also, you didn't show it playing gameboy color games. 2. Your unit seems to be defective. Others below seem to have experience with this and they say it's compatibility and performance was better than your video showed. Something else to consider, and I'm not saying you're a liar, but maybe the cartridges aren't working, or at least maybe you have to make sure the pins are not dirty or something. You may know these cartridges are working, but we didn't see it. But even then, consider that not only the pins on the cartridges may not be clean, but maybe the device needs to be cleaned as well since it may be more sensitive to that sort of thing. Lastly, that is quite old and if it wasn't taken care of, it may be damaged or at the least it helps make the case that it needs to be clean. 3. As others have pointed out, the trainer option is really more of a cheat search. It's a bit misnamed but when I saw the actual menu, it clicked that it was a cheat search. I have seen similar menus in different emulators and cheat devices.
Not all Grey PS1s have the parallel port. The SCPH-9000 series consoles do not have the parallel port on the back. Any other model, except for the slim PSOne and you're good to go.
I think the Cheats Menu can detect, what Cheat you need. Examle: you die in Mario land, you Tell the menue that Something went down, and after doing this a few times it will detect that you mean lifes, so it will give you an infinit live Code
The "Trainer" would detect what values changed recently and you would narrow down what piece of code you'd change. If you wanted infinite health in Metroid II, you'd start the Trainer, go back into the game, grab a health pickup or take damage, go back into the Trainer and the Trainer would say, "Okay, I found that the Health value changed, but your Position value and your Missile value did too. Keep narrowing down options?" Eventually, through trial and error, you'd pin down the exact value you'd change, and it would either tell you the code to put in the "Cheats" menu, or do it itself.
Correction, the "Trainer" option works as follows: Let's say you want infinite lives, you must purphosefully die. This will tell the GB Booster that a value has gone down. You go to trainer, it will list less codes. If it still can't find them, die again. Luckly, after a while, it will find codes that are related to that value. Yeah, I watch The Gaming Historian. :)
no good sir,i don't think being able to play gameboy games on n64 would have done that much. i worked for pokemon. but thats because its pokemon. it was huge at the time.
I really would like to see a Rerez video on something like Bleem or the Connectix Virtual Game Station. They’ve got an interesting history and I think it would be cool to hear Shane talk about them.
This item got to have been released under different names. I have one with the exact same UI. They do have one really neat thing though. You can insert gameshark codes! Though it really is only useful for games that let you save. Most games do work but you have to try them about a billion times before they decide to work.
I believe it was the SCPH-9000 model onwards that removed the parallel port. I recall a friend of mine had an Xploder cheat device, he actually managed to no-life together a [nearly working] playable Sephiroth in FF7.
i had one from a different company, it worked quite well back then. no issues like what i saw here were present. it even ran at full speed! but it also was likely triple the price of that thing....
The reason the Super Gameboy worked so well despite being older and running through the SNES is that the Super Gameboy is actually real Gameboy hardware shoved inside of the cartridge. It draws power from the SNES and uses its controller and display output, but it does not run off the SNES hardware at all. It is not emulation. This thing, however, seems to be an emulator, and a very bad one at that. This obviously should never have been released as a finished product to consumers. Aside from the obvious legal reasons that would have prevented Nintendo or Sony from ever authorizing or licensing this thing, there's also the shoddy quality of it which would not have received a Nintendo seal of quality. That seal of quality actually meant something back in those days. If you bought a product with that seal on it, you knew it would at the very least work. But when it came to these shoddy unlicensed products, there was no quality control at all.
The powerglove was an idea that was ahead of its time. I think the idea behind it rubbed off on Nintendo when they thought of the Wii motion controls. Just like with the powerglove, the Wii motion controls were more about the gimmick than the practicality. In practice, its a lot more precise and effective to just use a standard controller. But there's still a value with the novelty behind it. In any case, despite whatever flaws, I think almost anyone would agree the powerglove was nowhere near as awful as this thing. The powerglove didn't really pan out, but maybe it had greater potential that was never realized.
@@logicalphallusy2364 I am aware about Powerglove's history, thanks. Just pointing to a fallacy that things with Seal were good and thing without never were. Another thing that got Seal were LJN games.
It doesn't mean things were necessarily good, but it did mean that things worked. You're right that LJN games for the most part were not good, but if you plugged them in and started them up they would work as well as any other cartridge. The games weren't good, but they worked. But that's not the case with this thing, which doesn't work at all.
this is what i found so amazing about the snes: the hardware of the system itself never needed to be improved upon. the Hardware in the game carts just got better, and snes would be like "yeah that fits" could you imagine if current consoles could be like this, where we dont need to see a "pro" or "x" version and so on a few years after a consoles first run?
8:45 Nintendo couldn't make that work either. The Super game boy doesn't use the SNES at all. It basically contains a gameboy inside which does everything. The SNES only transforms the signal to something a TV can use. It might sound surprising that the Super Gameboy has all the hardware but most of a gameboy is not circuit board. Most of the space is taken up by the buttons, screen and battery.
I bet the trainer was similar to game sharks pro feature where it allows you to make your own codes. It looks up values in memory and it allows you to change the ones you want. The ones relative to health ammo ect
I think I might have figured out how the cheat codes work it's a bit weird but hear me out. I think the console detects changes in values and allows you to alter those values after it detects them being recently changed, so if you die and It registers you lost 1 life you could add 100 lives back with the cheats.
BoboFett 72 he had a defective unit, he should've bought a new one and he should have done more research and he would have seen that these GB players work, he just had a defective unit.
Most consumers would do research. Generally, people don't purchase something unless they know what it is. The fact of the matter is that this guy is supposed to know something about videogame hardware. His entire channel is basically consumer awareness videos/product reviews. This video was just particularly lazy. He makes himself look unintelligent; He's able to run a TH-cam channel about videogame products, yet he can't figure out when he might have a defective unit.
If you plug in a Nintendo cartridge improperly, it can yield similar results. He should know that. He also didn't bother to test out the parallel port on his Playstation to see if the input connectors were working properly. In conclusion, he preferred to release this instead of a proper review. I worry about that because companies will look at the quality of his content and might not send him stuff. Every now and again, defective products do get sent out. He's not doing anyone any favors if he, as you stated, "blindly" makes assumptions based on anecdotal evidence. That's poor journalism.
BoboFett 72 if your going to review something atleast do your due diligence and at least google the fucking thing! hell LGR does a wayyyy better job ten "it doesnt work i dont know must be shit product."
I can remember this device in a games mag & other 1 for the N64 which I brought, it played GB games & it had the same horrible music no matter what game you put into it, got rid of it asap, no surprise eh
There was also another one for the N64 called "GB Hunter" and it sucks! The problem with "GB Hunter" is all Game Boy games works, but the big problem is, no soundtrack is included with all GB games, but all they put is annoying music that never stops for the "GB Hunter", I hit the mute button to get rid of that annoying music. And another problem, the main menu and other features are really bad. Don't get the "GB Hunter" for the N64.
7:16 that’s how trainers are for example list, so you want to cheat for unlimited ammo you do the trainer then fire from the gun you want unlimited ammo from and go back to the trainer where it would eliminate most of the codes. It’s a process but after all it’s a cheat
You think you had problems with a MAD CATZ controller?? Try what I had as a kid along with what came bundled with my Sony PS2 controller: I had two extra controllers, and a memory card, made by GAME SHARK (yes, that very same Game Shark company that was famous for their ps1 cheat codes and such)
Something very important you never mentioned: the Super GB Booster actually uses software emulation, while the Super Game Boy has real Game Boy hardware inside the cartridge. And i don't think the PS1 has enough raw power to emulate the Game Boy or even the Parallel port is fast enough to keep reading those GB cartridges.
@@hisstatus N64 for was 3 times faster. BUT it used cartridges which hold it's games back. Look at Mario 64's opening. Look at Mario's face it was one of the best looking graphics of it's time. Anyhow if you were to develop a game to N64 you would either develop a short game with good graphics or you would develop a longer game with worse graphics. On paper N64 is stronger

Rerez, the code menu worked fine you just didn't research.
Also the reason it wasn't good was because it was software emulation while the sgb was hardware emulation.
At the moment he said he didn't care about the N64 version, never tested GBC games or even mentioning to see if the games ran for others; which is the number one thing most people, even him in the past, would do if something isn't working; you should have realized he didn't do much research.
_My boi Silver as a pfp. I'm proud of yoo boi_
The sgb wasn't even emulation, It deadass had a Gameboy inside it without a screen, batteries, or buttons
I remember seeing these in some of those import/liquidation ads in older magazines, but have never seen one play before.
I'm sure since they were cheaply made, you might have one that's broken, either that or your games aren't sitting properly. But it's still cool to actually see one in action.
The Trainer menu does work, if you have a working device. The Gaming Historian explains it brilliantly, but it generates new codes based off of what you do in game, e.g. you die, and it comes up with codes that can affect the lives counter.
Interesting... So, Pokemon - Use a Potion = Inf Potion in Bag?
Catch Mewtwo = Mewtwo encounterable in the Wild?
Almost like teaching it what you need in the first place.
@@Roadent1241 Pretty much, sometimes you need to do the same thing multiple times for it to realise exactly what you want, but it literally trains it. It’s so cool.
@@justanotheryoutubechannel Well for legendaries that would be difficult but that does cool. Good thing we have the tech embedded nowadays.
This would have been great back before we had any sort of internet.

Wow wasted potential for an accessory like this :(
Hell yeah
That was innovation for ya wasted potential with cheaply made 1/2 baked ideas.

no it was the products fault
A Controversial peice of hardware that followed the same fate as Bleem.
Bleem is something we've never looked at on the show. Would you like us to do a video on that in the future?
@@rerez please do it
Bleem is worth taking a look as it did something great while infringing many copyrights. This made me turn my head as a child when someone was playing Bleem Gran Turismo 2. I just could not believe my eyes that GT2 was so High Quality and I was saying "That's Gran Turismo 3 ain't it?" Then I was told no it's GT2... I re-doubted that statement for long.
We definitely want a video on it. If you can get your hands on the Metal Gear Solid, Tekken 3, or Gran Turismo 2 packs. THere is also a compatibility list here. www.whipassgaming.com/genesisreviews/Bleemcast/bleemcastcompatibility.htm
well yea!! if you got a windows 98 rig that can do it. I think the newer emus are getting close to what bleem could do with rendering resolutions and so on
Never take 10 minutes to say what could be said in 4.
Every detail you skip is seven comments about what was missing, though. He could have just said, "it doesn't work," but then you'd have people going on and on about it.
You must be new to youtube. Make a video for something you could explain completely in the description.
Some people enjoy watching these videos. The fact this thing was a piece of shit is something you could say in 5 seconds, but its fun to watch it fail. If its not fun to you, then I'm not sure why you would want to be here. By your logic, why even bother watching a movie, reading a book, or playing a video game when you could just read about the ending and know what happens?
Dat ad revenue tho.
Idk why but youtube demands video be 10 min long lots of youtubers have said they have to get over that 10 min mark idk why
Rerez.If you read the box,it says it works with GB colour games.Maybe try it them.
Girtana1 because they are two different consoles that are similar but have very different internals
I think ‘Color Game Boy’ is supposed to mean games that are given color through the Super Game Boy.
@Girtana1 um actually the gameboy color is more powerful
Go and gbc is same handheld. Actually gbc is just color modded version of gb. You can play gb games on gbc and play gbc games on gb. Only thing diffirent is colour mod that’s it.
@@subliminallover5714 the gbc has more vram among other things. That said, this particular device is defective.
I think this device deserves a second review with a unit that isn't defective...
I know its really hard to check to see if these rare and off brand devices are working as intended but this is 10 minutes plus of miss-information.
6:40 They used comic sans for that menu, just lmao.
Before you throw it out, on the box, it said “Works with GB Color games!”
It *did* work well. Your copy of this player is broken as all those games worked fine on mine. The trainer works perfectly fine and you didn't understand how it works. Ditto with the palette creation tool. The two issues that it had were the slow speed and the lack of audio. I played through Pokemon Blue this way without issue though.
The way trainer is supposed to work is by making true value you wanna change either go up or down, and press the corresponding arrow, and repeat until it narrows it down to just few cheat codes.
Who remembers this from The Gaming Historian?
The "Trainer" section appears to be a Cheat Search, it's asking if the value increased, decreased, is equal, or is not equal.
The trainer actually detects values that went up or down. So you have to keep doing that to narrow down the list.
I love your videos, but please take a little more time and do your research next time. You failed to check if yours was defective or not (which it is; the compatibility normally isn't nearly that bad, and I don't recall the visuals being that flickery), wrote off the trainer as an unusable code list of sorts without making an attempt to research what it might actually be, and failed to try any Game Boy Color games despite going out of your way to point it out earlier in the video.
but... his IS defective, his DOESN’T work. Meaning this thing is garbage. And if it was any good, it would have just worked.
Demonanimator this is the only one where I have seen it this bad. It’s not innovations fault dipshit, it’s a 20 year old piece of hardware, it probably broke over time
Nice tool :D
Would have been the shit with N64 Cartridges back then
So I found something called the super widebody and it's a working GBA cart for the N64 however it's pretty much impossible to get hold of because it was used by Nintendo but it was a fully functional GBA with a link cable too, it's a shame it was never fully released. (there was a GBC version too)
Trainer only works if a value rises or decreases.
For example if you died in super mario, then went into trainer and click the down arrow icon and repeated a few times, then it might give you some cheat codes
The trainer is a code generator similar to that in the GameShark/Action Replay. It looks for values higher or lower from the last time it was run until it narrows down to the code you want. For example; fire your gun then search for a lower value, fire it again, search for a lower value, reload it then search for a higher value and so on.
Came to say this. I don't have this device, but I recognize the operations from the symbols and having used a GameShark. When you begin, it takes a snapshot of the Gameboy's memory. Then when you select one of the operations (less than, greater than, not equal, equal), it compares the current memory contents to the snapshot and narrows the number of possible cheats based on that requirement. Typically you would do something like begin, exit, shoot your gun, go in and pick less, repeat a few times to narrow the list, maybe pick up ammo and click greater than. Once you get it down to just a few cheats, view the list and write down what's there. Then you try each of those codes to see if they crash the game, do nothing, or give you unlimited ammo.
Trainer lets you compare values in memory to isolate the addresses that represent things like lives or health. It lets you MAKE your own cheats.
"Playstation is a registered Tarde Mark"
I'm sure it is.
i remember these, the plan was to have disks come out that would have updated lists of codes and emulator updates, it never happened, but a few devices had this kind of fate, the idea is kinda cool but, i would rather get a dreamcast and mod it to use sd cards personally...since it can also emulate alot of older systems very well, hell the only real reason it failed, wasnt piracy, it was the lack of dvd playback support when both sony and ms where bringing out their units that, both had dvd drives.
the ps3 sold better then the xbox 360 at least in part, due to the fact that MS backed the wrong horse with hd-dvd, however, i liked the idea of just having hybrid drives hd-dvd and bluray in one unit...sounds good to me, but then, i was hoping to see HVD or even see them use MagnetoOptical disks, that would be much harder for average people to copy, but also allow for higher capacities
This is one weird piece of device.
Yeah... understand why you made video about it... WICKED !!
I remember the *Official* PlayStaiton Magazine in Italy talked about it in the '90 ... but hey, they also used to publish spots for local stores that used to mod PS1 consoles and they talked about weird stuff (like an article about FFVII Hentai for some reason) those where wild times here. lol
Anyway playing Nintendo games on PlayStation is not that weird to me, I'm used to emulate Nintendo stuff on the PSP, PS2 and the PSVita since Igot my day one PSP, and the first time I ever saw Mario was on a NES Emulator for PS1 around the 2000 in a friend's house.
RedVGFox Patetico. Il vero RedVGFox non commenterebbe mai in video mal fatti come questi.
The Super Gameboy had the gameboy guts inside of the cartridge.
9:34 : Even the French translation on the back of this box looks cheap.
I can see a bunch of grammar and spelling mistakes such as "Perment", "jeox", "Pleinecran" or even "choijc".
There's a Officiall gb on n64 called wide boy 64 agb/cgb but is wasn't released
It's weird. I didn't know this existed until I heard about it from MyLifeInGaming.
My original PlayStation stopped working right like it won't read game Discs anymore that I threw it in a dumpster and replaced it with a PSOne.
The Gaming Historian covered this in a video (3rd Party Game Boy Players) and explained how the Trainer option works.
I've heard (don't quote me on this) that the limits of the gb ram is 8192. So it looks defective to me as the cheats list goes up to 8192 then says it can't display.
The Nintendo Playstation is complete my bois.
It says on the box that it could play "GB Colour Games" would game boy colour games work in it?
Go to bed Super GB Booster, you're high.
First time watching Rerez in like 2 years and at 1:00 it shows my favourite Mario game with my name written on it. That's some illuminati shit
2:15 not true if you have a SCPH-9001 or later models then it doesn't have the I/O port. Like mine that I got from Goodwill awhile back is one of the SCPH-9001 models that says the manufacture date was July of 1999. So that means the ones made before 1999 had the I/O port.
Lol. I love how there's a 8192 for trainer because that's the odds of finding shinies from gen 2 to 5
Speedor Resurrection It's actually because the Gameboy has 8KB of RAM, which in bytes is 8192.
@@zummone i just found it funny that it had that number
You should do more research when you do these videos.
1. The super Nintendo never ran gameboy games, it was instead used for video output and controller input. The super nintendo was not powerful enough to emulate the gameboy. The super gameboy cartridge pretty much was just a gameboy. That's what was running the games and why it was a much better experience. This on the other hand seems to be using emulation. To be fair, it's not a very good emulator, and there's a gameboy emulator for ps1 that is much better, but you definitely can't knock it because it doesn't have gameboy hardware in it. It's not really a fair comparison. Also, you didn't show it playing gameboy color games.
2. Your unit seems to be defective. Others below seem to have experience with this and they say it's compatibility and performance was better than your video showed. Something else to consider, and I'm not saying you're a liar, but maybe the cartridges aren't working, or at least maybe you have to make sure the pins are not dirty or something. You may know these cartridges are working, but we didn't see it. But even then, consider that not only the pins on the cartridges may not be clean, but maybe the device needs to be cleaned as well since it may be more sensitive to that sort of thing. Lastly, that is quite old and if it wasn't taken care of, it may be damaged or at the least it helps make the case that it needs to be clean.
3. As others have pointed out, the trainer option is really more of a cheat search. It's a bit misnamed but when I saw the actual menu, it clicked that it was a cheat search. I have seen similar menus in different emulators and cheat devices.
Not all Grey PS1s have the parallel port. The SCPH-9000 series consoles do not have the parallel port on the back. Any other model, except for the slim PSOne and you're good to go.
What a damn coincidence. I was watching Gaming Historian's video about this earlier.
I think the Cheats Menu can detect, what Cheat you need.
Examle: you die in Mario land, you Tell the menue that Something went down, and after doing this a few times it will detect that you mean lifes, so it will give you an infinit live Code
The "Trainer" would detect what values changed recently and you would narrow down what piece of code you'd change. If you wanted infinite health in Metroid II, you'd start the Trainer, go back into the game, grab a health pickup or take damage, go back into the Trainer and the Trainer would say, "Okay, I found that the Health value changed, but your Position value and your Missile value did too. Keep narrowing down options?"
Eventually, through trial and error, you'd pin down the exact value you'd change, and it would either tell you the code to put in the "Cheats" menu, or do it itself.
Correction, the "Trainer" option works as follows:
Let's say you want infinite lives, you must purphosefully die. This will tell the GB Booster that a value has gone down.
You go to trainer, it will list less codes. If it still can't find them, die again.
Luckly, after a while, it will find codes that are related to that value.
Yeah, I watch The Gaming Historian. :)
no good sir,i don't think being able to play gameboy games on n64 would have done that much.
i worked for pokemon. but thats because its pokemon. it was huge at the time.
I still use mine to play Pokemon every weekend! Like this if you're watching this from Dreamcast web browser!
lol
Aw man i only have a Dreamcast mouse and no keyboard..
I really would like to see a Rerez video on something like Bleem or the Connectix Virtual Game Station. They’ve got an interesting history and I think it would be cool to hear Shane talk about them.
HypnoticMarten77 just hope he does better research than he did here
gaming historian explained how trainer worked pretty well
Playing N64 games on a 32 bit psx is impossible.
I also have seen this in action and it was so Unreal to see.
Great video like always
About the palettes, Nintendid what Innovation didn't.
It turns GB into Tiger Handheld...
I'd just bump the games soundtrack on TH-cam via Bluetooth. Lol
I had every 3rd party peripheral for the ps1. At least the versions that actually worked
This item got to have been released under different names. I have one with the exact same UI. They do have one really neat thing though. You can insert gameshark codes! Though it really is only useful for games that let you save.
Most games do work but you have to try them about a billion times before they decide to work.
The games not working could be due to dirty contacts on the device. Did you try cleaning the slot with rubbing alcohol or something?
I believe it was the SCPH-9000 model onwards that removed the parallel port. I recall a friend of mine had an Xploder cheat device, he actually managed to no-life together a [nearly working] playable Sephiroth in FF7.
I remember seeing one of these at EB games back in the day... loos like I lucked out in not having a playstation with the expansion port lol
Dude. You were wrong on so much of this, it's fucking unreal. Try again. Get some technical knowledge first.
i had one from a different company, it worked quite well back then. no issues like what i saw here were present. it even ran at full speed! but it also was likely triple the price of that thing....
I still have mine. I bought mine at a game crazy.
The reason the Super Gameboy worked so well despite being older and running through the SNES is that the Super Gameboy is actually real Gameboy hardware shoved inside of the cartridge. It draws power from the SNES and uses its controller and display output, but it does not run off the SNES hardware at all. It is not emulation.
This thing, however, seems to be an emulator, and a very bad one at that. This obviously should never have been released as a finished product to consumers. Aside from the obvious legal reasons that would have prevented Nintendo or Sony from ever authorizing or licensing this thing, there's also the shoddy quality of it which would not have received a Nintendo seal of quality. That seal of quality actually meant something back in those days. If you bought a product with that seal on it, you knew it would at the very least work. But when it came to these shoddy unlicensed products, there was no quality control at all.
Powerglove had that seal.
The powerglove was an idea that was ahead of its time. I think the idea behind it rubbed off on Nintendo when they thought of the Wii motion controls. Just like with the powerglove, the Wii motion controls were more about the gimmick than the practicality. In practice, its a lot more precise and effective to just use a standard controller. But there's still a value with the novelty behind it.
In any case, despite whatever flaws, I think almost anyone would agree the powerglove was nowhere near as awful as this thing. The powerglove didn't really pan out, but maybe it had greater potential that was never realized.
@@logicalphallusy2364 I am aware about Powerglove's history, thanks. Just pointing to a fallacy that things with Seal were good and thing without never were. Another thing that got Seal were LJN games.
It doesn't mean things were necessarily good, but it did mean that things worked. You're right that LJN games for the most part were not good, but if you plugged them in and started them up they would work as well as any other cartridge. The games weren't good, but they worked. But that's not the case with this thing, which doesn't work at all.
this is what i found so amazing about the snes: the hardware of the system itself never needed to be improved upon. the Hardware in the game carts just got better, and snes would be like "yeah that fits" could you imagine if current consoles could be like this, where we dont need to see a "pro" or "x" version and so on a few years after a consoles first run?
At least it doesnt have that awful "music" from the N64 version!
8:45
Nintendo couldn't make that work either. The Super game boy doesn't use the SNES at all. It basically contains a gameboy inside which does everything. The SNES only transforms the signal to something a TV can use. It might sound surprising that the Super Gameboy has all the hardware but most of a gameboy is not circuit board. Most of the space is taken up by the buttons, screen and battery.
I bet the trainer was similar to game sharks pro feature where it allows you to make your own codes. It looks up values in memory and it allows you to change the ones you want. The ones relative to health ammo ect
I think I might have figured out how the cheat codes work it's a bit weird but hear me out. I think the console detects changes in values and allows you to alter those values after it detects them being recently changed, so if you die and It registers you lost 1 life you could add 100 lives back with the cheats.
The ps1 scph 9000 model doesen't have a parrallel I/O port but the other models do.
I keep hearing "Super Chibi Booster"
When i was a kid i had a disk with every nes game on it
Says right on it that it's for GB Color games. You didn't try any. Would it work OK if you did?
If you use the mini screen you can attach to the ps1 you can finally play gameboy games portable
Less time editing and shooting. More time doing research.
It's just a bad unit. Purely anecdotal.
BoboFett 72 he had a defective unit, he should've bought a new one and he should have done more research and he would have seen that these GB players work, he just had a defective unit.
Journalistic standards. It's not about the conclusion, but how you get to it.
BoboFett 72 He never said that
Most consumers would do research. Generally, people don't purchase something unless they know what it is. The fact of the matter is that this guy is supposed to know something about videogame hardware. His entire channel is basically consumer awareness videos/product reviews. This video was just particularly lazy. He makes himself look unintelligent; He's able to run a TH-cam channel about videogame products, yet he can't figure out when he might have a defective unit.
If you plug in a Nintendo cartridge improperly, it can yield similar results. He should know that. He also didn't bother to test out the parallel port on his Playstation to see if the input connectors were working properly. In conclusion, he preferred to release this instead of a proper review. I worry about that because companies will look at the quality of his content and might not send him stuff. Every now and again, defective products do get sent out. He's not doing anyone any favors if he, as you stated, "blindly" makes assumptions based on anecdotal evidence. That's poor journalism.
The GB adapter they made for N64 has only better compatibility. You've seen the palate editor.
gaming historian's video was wayyy better it just sounds like you did literally no research into this thing.....
this video was about 90 seconds of information stretched to ten minutes
BoboFett 72 if your going to review something atleast do your due diligence and at least google the fucking thing! hell LGR does a wayyyy better job ten "it doesnt work i dont know must be shit product."
Saw this on the local game magazine as a kid and it blew my mind. Luckily I never bought one as its kinda pricey for a 10 years old me.
was expecting the hot take intro at 0:15
I can remember this device in a games mag & other 1 for the N64 which I brought, it played GB games & it had the same horrible music no matter what game you put into it, got rid of it asap, no surprise eh
somebody worked in this ..... thing....
feel the pain.....
feel the anger......
There was also another one for the N64 called "GB Hunter" and it sucks! The problem with "GB Hunter" is all Game Boy games works, but the big problem is, no soundtrack is included with all GB games, but all they put is annoying music that never stops for the "GB Hunter", I hit the mute button to get rid of that annoying music. And another problem, the main menu and other features are really bad. Don't get the "GB Hunter" for the N64.
7:16 that’s how trainers are for example list, so you want to cheat for unlimited ammo you do the trainer then fire from the gun you want unlimited ammo from and go back to the trainer where it would eliminate most of the codes. It’s a process but after all it’s a cheat
There is one made for n64 by intelegent systems spelled it wrong also awsome video
You think you had problems with a MAD CATZ controller?? Try what I had as a kid along with what came bundled with my Sony PS2 controller: I had two extra controllers, and a memory card, made by GAME SHARK
(yes, that very same Game Shark company that was famous for their ps1 cheat codes and such)
Something very important you never mentioned: the Super GB Booster actually uses software emulation, while the Super Game Boy has real Game Boy hardware inside the cartridge. And i don't think the PS1 has enough raw power to emulate the Game Boy or even the Parallel port is fast enough to keep reading those GB cartridges.
Downvoted for that trash research that went into this
I already know of this from the Gaming Historian
Alveldir S. yeah
0:55 "even n64 games" n64 is... stronger than the ps1
No it isnt my god
@@hisstatus N64 for was 3 times faster. BUT it used cartridges which hold it's games back. Look at Mario 64's opening. Look at Mario's face it was one of the best looking graphics of it's time. Anyhow if you were to develop a game to N64 you would either develop a short game with good graphics or you would develop a longer game with worse graphics. On paper N64 is stronger
