Bought this item on Sendico - bit.ly/2V6IX2u - had never seen it before and couldnt find any information on it anywhere! Its a fairly decent little thing, I would happily pay more if they just improved the quality in all areas by 25%.

Fifth is the new first.
But what about the first reply?
The Retro Future first
Second is the new fourth, third is the new second, fourth is the new fifth and that's right on out.
4th on this is the new first
And I’m the fifth reply.
Finally I can watch my horribly compressed Shrek GBA movie on my TV!
I wonder if it’s blocked on this like it is on official products?
In all its sub-144p glory!
Horizon and I can watch my spongebob too!!
AMAZENG
Use the Shrek+SharkTale cartridge! It has a worse framerates and lower video quality.
I’m disappointed it didn’t have a giant tri-wing screw holding everything together.
I lost my shit with the aeroplane carrying the WRONG sign, hilarious
Dmitry Seryogin
Meme worthy..
Hmm what sign is that
That would become a meme if this thing weren't so niche
I love how it's called the Home Boy.
What up what up home boy
Yo home boy!
It is a fitting name for it
home slice
Yo home boy no homo
Edit: Also interested to see how this will look with my retrotink 5x pro, especially with how decent it looks on your TV with the rca cables/composite.
Ah man thanks for this video. I happened upon one of these being sold new and complete in box like yours. When I realized how bizarre it was and that it's a challenge to find, I grabbed it. The seller listed it for $56 CAD which wasn't too bad. Was sold on a japanese marketplace so had to use a proxy service to get it shipped. Excited to test this out just for how unique it is, and that it looks like a GBA cartridge itself.
How did it look with the retrotink?
This honestly looks pretty cool. If I somehow found it out and about for around 40 to 60 dollars I'd probably pick it up, even if the picture isn't exactly the clearest it's still awesome to have an affordable way to play GBA cartridges on a TV.
When you connect this to the TV tuner. I can finally play my gameboy on the go.
Underrated comment, lmao
The controller appears to be from an identical mold when compared to the pack-in controllers with the Gamerztek HD2 (SNES/NES clone console). They are indeed pretty nice controllers all considering.
so, usually those black blobs (usually called glob-tops afaik) on circuit boards are custom-fabbed ICs used for very specific purposes or cloning hardware on a tighttt budget. most likely, it actually is a cloned GBA under that glob of epoxy. also, those are literally bare IC dies, cemented to the PCB, gold bonded to pads on the PCB, and covered in epoxy. it's a very clever way to do something as efficiently and cheaply as possible.
Shane from Rerez needs to go through the built-in 88 games, because we all like to see him suffer!
I picked one up and it looks really good on a CRT. I have noticed a few graphic issues on some games but it is nice for what it is.
3:30 HAHAHA I laugh very loud when I notice it’s a giant GBA cartridge 😹😹
Your one of my favorite TH-camrs and help me with trying to fix stuff myself! Good work!
If you can't get hold of a GB player for the GameCube, this looks rather nice.
They are too expensive now and bulky. Another good way is a ps mini classic that’s hacked. It has gba app and runs perfectly
Hey Elliot, here's a suggestion. Get the data sheet for the integrated circuit and find out if it outputs anything other than composite. Find the RGB signal if it exists and mod the output and sync so you can connect to your TV via scart. You've got the soldering skills, all you need is some resistor and capacitors and you're good to go. Now there's a video befitting of your channel.
I like your idea here!
Oof, that paisley telecaster is so so beautiful. Didn't realise you were a guitarist!
Edit: Just finished the video. Love the little change in tone on this video - really funny at times. Top job!
I need a gif of that "WRONG" plane!
This little system is pretty cool. I'd love to someday get one. Great video Elliot!
Fun Fact: The SNES is 16 Bit whilst the GBA is 32 Bit! :)
@ 8:50 my wife got excited and said "it's a cob blob!"... bless her soul.
DONKI ! (Don Quijote. Like the famous book) So just a heads up TRF, Don Kihote sells a bunch of these. Most of them are Famicom/Super Famicom clones with different games built in. Normally they run around 4,000 - 5,000 yen. I've only recently seen these versions show up, but as soon as people found out they played legit GBA games, they have been impossible to find. You actually got it for a pretty decent price.
This is a more modern pirate console, no more Famicom Clones or Sega Genesis Controller ports!
Edit:
O wait it's a Famiclone/GBA hybrid console -_-
There is something like this in development by Hyperkin called RetroN JR. it claims to be able to play both GBC and GBA in 720p, it might be something to look out for
I was thinking I remember seeing a video about this product before, then you showed the description of gojigoji's video on it and now I remembered where I saw it
make a DIY raspberry pi Gameboy Advance SP with 2 screens
Did some research and it looks like these must be exclusively sold in-stores in Japan. I've found a number of Sold listings for it on Mercari, and a number of Japanese forum and social media posts talking about it.
I also found some Brazilian results too, which doesn't surprise me given the massive bootleg market there. Surprised I couldn't find one on Alibaba or AliExpress.
Killing it again sir.. I need one of these!!
I think i'm in love with that product ...
Thanks for the great video !
Everybody gangsta til the tv boy 89 releases
When the controller has four buttons but the gba has two
Analogue products are FPGA-based consoles that are near perfect recreations of the original hardware which eliminates things like input lag entirely. Based on the inside I would say it is a system on a chip so you are dealing with something closer to software emulation. Still really cool at that price point. :)
Definitely system on a chip. The chip in question is under that black blob of, I'm guessing, epoxy.
originally it was available at Don Quijote, which is a popular chain of shops in japan, which carry practically everything.
nice little console, the inside is what I see a lot on all those plug and play TV consoles from the east.
that chip near to the USB is the rom, the games are stored on there (is my guess, it looks like one)
a famiclone... inside a game boy advance?
Those nes-on-a-chip blobs must be so cheap they basically had to add one instead of making it like GB Boy Colour did and soldering in a bootleg cart. Which they did anyway but it's two systems in one now.
Got this today. 9/29/22 . Not bad for the Price ... Works on my older TV I'm actually happy with it. No, its not the game cube gameboy player but it works well enough on my older TV and AV.
Nice by. Have you tried using an Ez- flash omega on this console? I am really curious to know if it works or not.
Hey hey.
This was, at some point, sold at a mall/Walmart-y kind of store in Japan called Don Quijote. Right now, the only place I'm seeing these pop up is on Mercari, the Japanese equivalent of Craigslist.
Their inventory seems to be whatever they can get their hands on, at least when it comes to niche electronics like this, so I wouldn't be surprised if they got a limited number and once they were out, they were out.
This is pretty legit, of i didn't have my overpriced GBA Player and Raphnet SNES to GC adaptor id prolly track one down.... who am i kidding ill still prolly track one down
This is definitely software emulation, not a hardware clone.
Great video as always! Cheers!
EDIT: That black blob is epoxy, it's a sign of shoddy/poor solder work usually as epoxy is an adhesive (think hot glue but even worse) probably used to hold something that was soldered in place.
It’s a clone not emulation, nothing shoddy about its build or boards
I love how Mario is just like "buh-bye!" at 6:32.
I find this kind of neat, but I find no need to spend 30 dollars or more on something I will only use a few times because in my opinion it feels better to use the system it was intended to be used on rather than playing them on a snes controller on the tv
I use my SNES classic to play GBA games on the T.V, it works great!
It’s really cool! You can see there is a famiclone in there along with the GBA clone! Maybe there is a chance for a model with Famicom slot and GBA.slot.
you can run nes roms and gb on it BUT you need an ez flash omega or everdrive cart NOT the supercard mini as it won’t load so it’s picky on that
@@tabsntootSo it is confirmed that this system will run ez flash omega carts?
Run and tell that, home boy!
The Japanese youtuber write that he bought it from Don Quixote which is a discount chain store, so it's probably not still available at retail.
Oh, and looking at the board it's clearly just some ARM SOC on there, it's dumping the cartridge into RAM and running it in an emulator.
Them legs tho ....🤐
Keep up the great work elliot .. love your vids 👍👍
Your telecaster looks proper
Nobody.
Screwdriver. mmmmREEEEEEEEE
The menu reminds me of Action 52! XD
I like how this is basically a famiclone designed like a giant GBA game cartridge.
This looks awesome, I hope the later variations come with an EXT port for multi player since the Super Retro Advance Adapter for the Super Famicom/SNES is not being made anymore.
Think about it, some Game Boy Advance games take advantage of the EXT port and should have multi player supported, but other than that, this looks like a great alternative to the Game Boy Player and the Super Retro Advance adapter.
Im not first at least im not stupid and bad
So i will thank you for see this comment and be good guy
aww thx 😁😁
I have a gba adapter thing on my old white gba advance, it doesn't look great on tv but it works just fine.
It is a system on a chip. I could not find any listings available and I did not see this thing while I was living in Japan. I would buy it for sure.
As someone who has a GBA Consolizer, a MiSTer FPGA system, and a Pi. I highly recommend the MiSTer. The GBA core is fantastic and virtually indistinguishable from a real GBA, has save states, fast forward, and a lot of other features. // If you have a GBA player, that is also a great solution, with the right software. But yes, be prepared to spend at least ~ $140 or so to get started.
There's pros and cons for this thing as someone who owns one, The controller input is genuis and comfy as all hell because you can swap it with a snes controller. Through a retrotink the picture looks superb but I will say the sound is horrible on these things and probably it's biggest drawback though this depends on the games as well dragon ball z legacy of goku 2 for example has perfect sound and no problems but games like the sonic advance trilogy have countless sound issues from music to sound effects, And this very much does run on an emulator because certain games trigger anti piracy freezes mario and luigi super star saga being one of them and partly unplayable up until the intro fight with bowser.
AVGN should have a look at this.
I want the orange one.
Think this is meant to be played on a CRT mate, would love to see this actually? set ya camera to 120 fps if you record any crt footage though!
It still seems like a pretty cool device.
Yo, you should use one of these to make an xxl gba. Maybe with like a 7 inch screen or something. Probably would be really cool
I’m hanging out for the Analogue pocket. It will be pricey though. I have a Gameboy Player on my Gamecube but this looks like a good enough substitute if you don’t have one.
That had to be the most unsatisfying Mario Kart compilation I have ever seen
Watup home boyy ps i love the crispy gameplay of roadman
I wish this was sold on Amazon or Ebay. I really would like to have one!
Hyperkin's RetroN Jr. is the closest thing to this Home Boy 88, but I've heard no news on the status of the RetroN Jr. since January of this year. This Home Boy 88 does have a better design than the RetroN Jr.
They are sold on eBay at moment if your quick as I bought one last week and it’s worth every penny runs smooth I’ve been playing ecks v sever and it’s just as good as a gbp
I love your videos! I never miss any
This mans specific set of skills does not include mariokart super circuit
The AV signal looks much much better compared to my Game Boy player (gamecube).
Let's appreciate that it's also a Famiclone :D
I just watched your Game Changer video. You should make an “adult sized” GBA SP. The body, clam shell and screen would be larger to compensate for adult hands and eye sight.
I never get notifications that you post, I actually have to go to your page to find videos. What the heck TH-cam.
That suck
The Retro Future yeah but that’s TH-cam for you. Love/hate relationship.
An 80 in 1 that has Pokemon Ruby in it? Well isn't that fancy
Run and tell that, Home Boy.
Nice litte thing ..on the other hand my TV is right next to my TV :D
You know what you have to do... TURN IT INTO A HANDHELD!! Also play Shantae. It’s a good game.
Oooh, very interesting... Does this also play Gameboy DMG games too, like the GBA does?
@The Retro Future I'd be interested to know this too!
@@0800styles I found out it does not. Only GBA carts. I hear it struggles with the Omega EZ Flash carts too. Might be fine with multi carts tho 🤷🏻♂️
Finally I can play Big Motha Truckers on my 4K tv
This made my day
Not too bad I guess, nothing like the GBA consolizer, but then again on a crt I'm sure it would look fine and maybe even awesome. Surprised you haven't got a Analogue SuperNt+SuperGameBoy2+HoriSG commmander+EVERDRIVEGBX7 combo. I have and it's brilliant. Also you should really consider a MiSTer FPGA if you haven't got one already. Awesome vid😄
Does it work with GB games? I assume not, but just curious.
This video is well gangster. Roadman and Home boys 😂
I need one of these
And it is planed to build a Gbahd? It's a open source Derivat to the gba consolizer.
It's 3 months old and cheaper to build
Game #19 is "cool baby" I wonder if this thing is made by the same company that makes the cool baby consoles.
This is very cool! The gba system was one of my favorites. I have an emulator of a gba system on my android phone. XD
Road man....driving in the road van, hes got to beat the clock to the next town
Apparently if you slow It down you will get there safe and sound
This will probably look great on a good CRT tv.
just found a development kit DSi on Sendico!
Skillshare helped me at retro tech
that just sounds like a gba player with extra steps
If you can, run the console through an upscaler that uses nearest neighbor instead of bicubic. That's what's responsible for the poor upscaling. The smearing effect you get on regular upscalers works well on regular tv footage, but no so much pixel art.
Love your vids.
Dude thanks for the 2 months trial for skillshare, I’ve been willing to try it for a while! (Oh god this comment sound very much like those you find around the internet for false advertising 🤣)
Ive got something simular for my GBA its got AV out on the back of it you have to replace the main back of the GBA with the new back then it will have AV out not used it for years
Wonder How old this thing is because I was thinking early 2000s but usb power was not a huge thing back then.
Game Boy Player: *AM I A JOKE TO YOU?!*
Cute like a cisco router
I love how it looks like a giant cartridge
I was literally looking into GBA on TV yesterday
I have a Gameboy adapter for my gamecube so I'm contempt
