    I traded in my GameBoy Camera at a store once. Around a year later, I came back to the store and bought a GameBoy Camera because I wanted one again. It was the *same camera* that I traded in.

      @@carloscreativity9557 Well duh, merchandise has to be stored until a buyer is found, employees handling the merchandise have to be paid and the lights have to be kept on. And the seller also has to deal with returns.
      This is what I say to friei who say I shouldn't be selling my old stuff to CeX and I should sell them on eBay instead: when I sell to CeX I don't have to deal with returns and I get cash on hand the moment I decide to sell.

    I used it mostly for two things:
    - Stopmotion clips.
    - Creating mini games using that function that allowed you to place links to another photo. You could draw a room and if you clicked the door it would load a picture of the room behind that door. Like this you could create a point and click adventure.
    It has been 20 years since i last used it so i don't remember exactly how it all works right now but i had tons of fun with that thing.

      I've learned that the hard way, too. In my experience, alkaline cells often do show open-circuit voltages roughly corresponding to actual strength, but zinc carbon/chloride and certain other types can be very prone to reading a “full” 1.5 volts when no useful energy actually remains.

    You can actually extract the original bmp data from the cartridges volatile memory if you've got the tools to do it. This gives the highest resolution of the images of course since it is the data actually generated by the camera and not filtered through multiple rendering and capture processes. I'd be willing to send over some of my own GB camera photos, or even help extract the photos on your cart for a future video if you'd like!

      And that's one of the camera's features - You can take photos which it will use as a "Game Face". In the little space sheooter screen where he selected the games, if you don't shoot any of the ships and let them go away, another space shooting game starts. The bosses are other game faces from the developers, and finally, your own game face.

  • @CIAwsome526

    I've owned 2 game boy cameras, and even today it can hold my attention. There are so many little secrets on the cartridge, and it was fun playing and unlocking the games, as well as adding pictures of my friends into the games (game face). I love the gameboy camera, and it feels like such a unique thing to even use, since it can't be emulated. Anyway, great video on such an interesting piece of technology, but you did leave out a lot of detail on the best features. I never really enjoyed taking 'hi-res pictures' with the camera, since i never enjoyed it for its "great applications" in photography. My friends and i more enjoyed that you could take pictures on at all on such a device, and we would still have fun taking, editing, and sharing photos with it, then playing the built in games with them, features you mostly didn't even mention. You only really talked about taking pictures which is only half the experience.

      The reason it can't be emulated is because emulators have major design flaws and when pointed out the creators turn the other way and don't listen. there's nothing difficult at all about emulating the gameboy camera but try to emulate with emulators now and sure it's pretty complicated.

    Thank you for helping me revisit my childhood. I had that exact blue one and a printer as well. My family bought it for me when I was 11 for a Xmas gift. It came together as a blister pack combo deal for $99 I think including 3 spare rolls of paper. I spent HOURS at a time on that thing. I probably snapped 1000s of photos and printed 100s. Yah the picture quality was terrible and there were a lot better digital cameras at the time but the wow factor for a child like myself to actually “take pictures on a Gameboy” and to have a camera of my own (without wasting film) was amazing.
    Just seeing you run through the UI brought back a ton of memories. (How did you pipe video to a TV capture device, super game boy adapter on SNES?). That thing had a few other gems on it like alternate frames you could set for the pictures, put your face on the mini game characters, there was a music mixer mode in there somewhere. All kinds of fun.

    You can change the exposure before printing by pressing Select and Up, you can adjust it if you want to print it light or darker
    And of course, you missed even many more options and functions (if we talk about taking photos), such as add giant frames to the photo, put a description and be able to print it next to the photo, change the palette before taking the photo, turn dithering on or off, change the sound when taking the photo and flip the photo c:
    Still, good video!

    I think the reason the original paper had an adhesive backing would have been to do with Japanese photo booths (Pri-Club) which dispensed adhesive backed mini photos which people then stick on all their stuff (phones, diaries, etc...). Very popular among the younger crowd in Japan, even these days.
    Might have been aimed at that market.
    Edit: The stamping function is definitely inspired by Pri-Club, leading me to believe this was intended more for the Japanese market.

    I was the target audience for that camera. Born late 1989. I can tell you, as a 7 or 8 year old, in the mid 90s that it provided endless entertainment. And it was amazing to have a photo on a game boy in school or at a friend's house of something.
    Brother and I even used it with the long timer to take pictures of the tooth fairy. 11/10 for the time and price point. You also missed some games in there.

    You could actually print digital pictures at that time, there were places to develop them from capturing them on a viewer machine. Game boy camera was monochrome, but we like it for actually taking pictures without film, my cousin hated waiting to develop. He mostly saved some of his photos on floppy disk.

      Um, OMG, you're wrong on a few levels:
      1. We didn't even have digital photography until the mid-'90s at the earliest.
      2. Analog photos were and are still printed, either digitally or analogously.
      3. You just contradicted yourself with "dot[-]matrix printers can only print text, though you can print images..." If they can print images, then they can print more than text.
      4. Computer printers are all digital (except maybe a daisy-wheel printer that converts a digital text signal into typewriter-quality, text-only prints).
