- i know it sounds weird and it is, but it works
this video is only a proof of concept (and was kinda rushed then delayed since i got really busy with college stuff), i just hope you enjoy it, it's been years that i wanted to do this
Twitter: / f4micom
music: chill by sakura hz
Still better than 99% of CCTV footage
I expected jank soldering but I think that a chain of adapters is even better.
Improvise, _adapt,_ overcome
Loved the video, tbh i can't believe the algorithm hasn't picked up your videos yet. You totally deserve it
Thanks a lot, I'll try and put out more videos (and raise the production quality in the meantime, there's a lot of stuff I want to improve about my channel and videos), maybe that will help the algorithm notice me haha
I'm currently already working on my next video so I hope I can put that one out soon and not make you all wait so long ever again aaa
heyy it did it rn
@@GetsaaOficial ikr
Yeah I think it just hit yesterday or so🤣👌
I got this in my recommendations
This idea is nuts and the fact that it works (even if it's reeeally crappy) is amazing
Also new video after 5 months YAY
That's very cool! I will be using this for all company meetings from now on whenever someone insists on turning on webcams.
Remember to have (nice) lightning
When the NES gameplay is higher quality than the camera...
Welp, I know what I wanna do now! Haha. Amazing video!
This is so dope. To me it's so fallout like. Hooking up a rig to videochat with old tech. I remember borrowing my friends camera back in the 90s. So flipping cool!!!
the audio is not that crappy doe actually overkill compared to that superior gameboycam quality
Jesus I love this channel even more. The low-key hackintosh Thinkpad flex
Imagine using that camera in a zoom call
wow, congratulations this is outstanding! what an incredibly fun process
This is probably the most badass Nintendo streamer setup ever. Like imagine someone on twitch saying they're streaming from the Gameboy camera.
Noticed the Cirno background at the end. This girl is a Touhou fan.
Instantly like her more now.
Isn't that Rei from eva?
Can't believe I just stumbled on this channel, love the style of the videos and the narration (and especially your personality :P), your videos will definitely take off!
New f4mi video? AAHHH YEEEEE
Great job, f4mi. I have been binging your videos for the past couple of days. I love your passion. As long as you have that drive your videos will continue to be wonderful. I wish you success
I love this cus it's just the kind of project I would do, just to say I did it.
In fall 2022 I installed MacOS High Sierra on my Thinkpad T420, and used a very similar AV capture card to connect my VCR to the Thinkpad, and used the video and audio source as my webcam feed so that I could place a FaceTime call to myself. I immediately after thought "well, that's something I did" and very shortly after nuked the MacOS partition.
But I still have a video of myself, effectively answering a call and watching a VHS copy of a Jim Carrey movie on FaceTime, which I don't think is a commonly shared experience.
I had no reason to do it and honestly it took me hours of frustration to get the drivers to function well enough for MacOS to even boot on a ThinkPad from 2011, but I don't regret it one bit.
0:51 ayo Thinkpad gang!!1 Love it when people make Hackintosh Thinkpads :D
imagine twitch streaming with a gameboy cam
I believe Vinny did once.
@@KopperNeoman he's never done that
I really feel bad when saying this but I love how 6:02 sounds like you can sh*t responsibly haha
But I must say that I really enjoy your videos, the nerdy topics in combination with your humour makes them a perfect bundle for me :D
The South Park PlayStation one got recommended for me the other day and by now I watched nearly every video, amazing stuff you got there!
Your videos are way too good compared to the ammount of views and likes that you are getting. Keep on rockin' ! Greetings from Germany
This is so brilliant. Please start streaming you playing GmaeBoy games while using this webcam, you'd do very well!
I've had a super gameboy and gameboy camera for years and never knew you could do that.
I might try and find my old usb capture device and do this the next time I need to use a webcam.
Old school Style ... LOVE It! Hard way is the BEST!!!
I love that she dismantled the easier card just to show us the inside but then never bothered to close it back again, leaving the pcb exposed like whatever lol
what a setup! i love the dedication behind your videos
Your videos are a summary of everything I imagined to do as a child.
so happy the whole world is getting recommended ur videos rn (:
Higher quality than my webcam
One of my favorite italian youtubers is also an hackintosh user on a thinkpad? You are full of surprises, i am glad to have discovered your channel, i am an hackintosher too and if you need something about hackintoshes (or consoles/pc games collecting, i also do that a lot) feel free to contact me.
Thanks! I started hackintoshing around 10 years ago, and I have basically done it on every Intel machine I had since then, I'm looking forward to also install Big Sur on my Ryzen PC during the next few days since I have just got a M1 Macbook and that would make a perfect companion desktop for it
@@f4micom I have started hackintoshing since 2012 and over the years i learned how to hackintosh a wide variety of stuff, now i am a developer in the hackintosh scene, making my own tools (for example my open source project called TINU) and sometimes giving an hand on other's projects (like clover or some kexts).
About some hackintoshing acievements i got some impressive stuff like installing big sur on a core 2 duo from 2007 (did it in july, look for moy reddit post), install leopard on my old trusty socket 939 motherboard, boot snow leopard in qemu on android, and really worked on lots of wired stuff.
My current main hackintosh it's my x99 beast, featuring an overclocked i7 5820k and lots expansion cards, alongside it, i have my macbook pro 15 inch 2017.
About hackintosh italian commiunities to help you with that amd system i can reccomend you the macOS86 forum, the italian section of insanelymac, the hackintosh italia telegram group (those people are friends of mine), and to absolutely stay very very very far away from places tonymacx86, orilla, hackintosh-zone and hackintosher.
About other stuff I collect pc hardware (have a lots of that, from 1986 up to today), nintendo consoles, and games, lots of games, i have like an entire ikea library full of games including over 300 games just for pc, including about 30 big box games.
Thank you for replying and reading all of this stuff, me and my friend Gianmarco really love your content (because it's prettymuch what we do as well, also my firend really loves thinkpads too) and we are always exited for every new upload of yours, so keep up the good work! I want to take this opportiunity to encourage you to upload more frequently, even if you don't have anything of peculiar or special to show, maybe just to share or talk about some games or some stuff you find fascinating, we are going to whatch it anyways, your channel has lots of potential so don't waste it.
Greetings from Napoli and good luck for the channel.
@@ITzTravelInTime Thanks for all the support! Your hackintosh achievements are definitely interesting, how does osx work on x99? I wanted to try it on huananzhi boards last year but I didn't really get to do it in the end
I also don't really follow any italian communities/websites a lot, I tend to read international forums or reddit since they are usually more active and updated
No need to thank me for replying! I'll try uploading more frequently, really, but I REALLY REALLY don't want to rush videos or make videos about something I don't personally find interesting or noteworthy of making videos about, I just really don't want to spam videos that aren't that interesting, but fortunately I have got some ideas in store and I'm working on them so stay tuned and you will see some of them coming soon here on the channel ^^
@@f4micom I am to saying to rush videos, i am just encouraging you to bring more, that's it, there are lots of interesting things you can show us.
About hackintoshing on x99 it's not on the easy side, but when you manage to work out all the stuff it runs great, i use it for coding and i compile some massive projects like kernels or hackintosh bootloaders and the multicore xeon processors on the platform definally helps a lot with that, i can reccommend it to you only if you have the time and can find the parts for cheap, this is no longer going to be a platform worth investing, becase with new hw launches the price of the hardware will drop
The biggest issue on x99 is the power managment btw, so prepare to have the computer not going to sleep or to have problems getting the cpu to change frequency based on the load and to turbo correctly
that x230 with the 20 series classic keyboard mod and hackintosh tho
I love that you set this up the EXACT way I would have done this LOL
Thinkpad gang 😤
Awesome video, and nice Rei wallpaper ;) glad to have stumbled upon your channel the other day
Great video, definitely subbing!
great to see other people doing it
We need the retropunk play through of game boy games with the game boy camera set up
You did it, you somehow made a webcam worse than a webcam
Dude this is awesome.
I’m also Hackintosh gang. Nice vid
Another great video, so glad I found this channel!
Best video of yours !!! Loving your content so far a
Loving every video
So cool you did a video on this! I also did it many years ago! Also with an easycap😂😖 Those things kept melting on me. I did re-visit the setup with an Elgato years later. I think these days the Joey Jr or some other devices might have this as a feature. Would consider using it semi-permanent😂🤓
Great proof of concept! This video should have more views.
This is silly dumb fun!I can imagine it would be easier to gimp an actual webcam and use a filter, but I would definitely try something like this or even go as far as 3D print a Gameboy camera she'll for the internals of an existing webcam.
I've got all the means to do this, but not the patience lol, thank you for providing yours!
this is absolutely amazing lol
i love my gameboy camera. endless fun making stop motion lego videos! i used to take pictures of dog turds and make my brother look at them. we were kids lol. i never did get that sweet printer though and i may try to get one. i have most of the weird GBA accessories including the e-reader
Vinny from Vinesauce started doing this on his streams
1:39 6 year old me with cable extensions thinking that 4 extensions would be 4 times more electricity
Absolutely genious.
I want someone to try and connect the actual camera part itself to something else to see what its actual quality is
ohdamn im simpin for low quality countable pixel f4mi
Quanto mi piacciono queste retrofollie! Like e sub strameritati
I don't follow you actively enough to know, but I REALLY hope this is technically your face reveal
The footage looks like it should be on a TV in a horror movie
That was pretty cool ngl
My experience with those EZCap usb sticks was it literally became a BSOD stick
Thank you so much, I made a joke about doing this and now I can actually attempt it lol.
is that a hackintosh thinkpad? based
It's possible to interface with the camera via serial directly to maybe get more shades of gray.
I'm not sure how it works, all I know is that it uses some sort of serial port for communication
Funny thing... if we would have been able to stream even such bag quality webcam to our friends somewhere over the internet. That would have been super awasome in 1992 :D
Wow! It's like I'm back in '99 when everybody did let's plays with face-cam
I love ibm shitbox grindset
omg that's a hackpad. I had one of these running El Capitan once
Its been 5 months 😊✋nice webcam btw🤣
Yeah I had a lot to do and unfortunately wasn't home a lot and this got delayed a lot :c
but I now have just got a new MacBook (with an M1 chip) which will help me edit videos even when I'm not home (which happens a lot since I'm a college student and when I'm in my dorm I don't have access to my desktop editing PC) soooooo that will help me make more videos more often :D
thanks for all of the support, I really appreciate it and I'll be making more and more videos now that I can, I promise :'
i have a lot of ideas and projects I want to realize here and I'm really excited for the future oiewjgeoiwghjnweioh
You used a CRT TV with the Super Famicom. Good.
Ah youtube finall recommended me to you
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!
I was using a GB Camera with the Super NT for my workers' council video meetings during lock down.
Great video :D
I don't have a webcam, but I do have a gameboy camera, a super gameboy, a super famicom, and a capture card. This will have to do for now 😔
I had the same issues with the easycap thing not working on my desktop, but worked with my laptop no problem. Super janky thing. It stopped working not too long after.
Clone ripoff that isn't gloptop chips? Top bins right there
re 7:31 : _there oughta be_ made a gameboy capture cartridge that can capture the gameboy camera :3
Hello. I downloaded the Game Boy Camera rom file last year, and then tested it on a Game Boy emulator for DOS, which I then ran in DOSBox. Sorry, I know it sounds n00bish, but do DOSBox support webcam or similar, and it can also be used as a virtual camera for Game Boy Camera?
DOS doesn't support webcams as far as I can tell, and most GameBoy emulators don't supprt the camera cartridge either. Your best bet is mGBA on Windows or Linux, which can emulate old 8-bit games and has Game Boy Camera support.
Aight then.
Didnt know you had a thinkpad! i love my thinkpad, its really old though (its a ibm thinkpad t42)
Genuine analog horror 💀
I really wanna see a student do this for a zoom meeting and I want to see the teachers reaction
imagine streaming with this camera
Are we not gonna talk about the mac os on a ThinkPad laptop?
nice video
Your accent is funny for me 😂. Good video, I love to see random ideas put into test
She's italian (like me actually), that's the reason
I'm not a native English speaker haha so I had to learn the language on my own, I'm slowly trying to get my accent sound more normal but it takes some time :' I just hope my videos are clear and understandable for everyone for now, that's all that matters in the end
@@f4micom Don't worry I can understand perfectly. I'm latino so my english probably has a very funny accent as well. Keep the good work
This camera is perfect for face reveal
I don't have a better way, but I do have a worse one; using a Game Boy Player rather than a Super Famicom.
Very handy thing to know though, that these EasyCap dongles communicate like webcams, much more than can be said about old Hauppauge boxes like the HD PVR.
Thank you algorithm
wow how
If there was a way to use the N64 Pikachu microphone to use as a PC mic
Desinc should take notes
epic
I had no idea you were so based to have an x230 with the old keyboard mod
this is great i need one :)
I've read that Windows10 no longer supports RCA. Wondering if anyone knows a work around for this? I have my SNES plugged into Easy Cap (RCA). VLC recognizes Audio ONLY and OBS doesn't recognize anything aside from the fact that I have the USB AV 2.0 device plugged in. at this point I was wondering if I can run my SNES into MacBook>VLC picks up video>plug MacBook into PC and then choose Video Capture>MacBook? or would it be Display Capture>MacBook? this is all very confusing but I'm determined to make it work
Some easycaps can give problems randomly, I had to switch three versions of drivers with one to make it work :c
wow.. hackintosh moment
You should watch Vinesauce's Gameboy Camera Streams
Use a 3DS microphone and record at 240p to match the sound and game with the webcam lmao
you should have played the gbc mario 1
Nice Hackentosh 1:16
