Millennials genuinely considered this the peak of gaming.
>>737178946I had a gamebody color and I don't recall having a light for it. I did get a worm light with my GBA, but eventually we got SPs and that was a thing of the past. Crazy how it took them like 4 tries to just make a gameboy with a light.
>>737178946And OP is a fag who can't imagine life without a smart phone, what's your point?
Usually those magnifier glass things had lights on them too so you'd use it or the worm light, not both, that's retarded.
>>737178946>needed a joystick for 2D Pokemon
I had one with that light and it was a stupid setup. Can't believe Nintendo handhelds weren't backlit until the SP. If you have a gameboy you probably only had like 3 games because your parents were mad that you made them spend $100 on AA batteries.
>>737179064>If you have a gameboy you probably only had like 3 gamesliterally me loltetris, pokemon blue and pokemon gold and a shitton of used up batteries.
>>737178946Is this the only way to start a thread on topics you like now?
>>737179064I had the purple gameboy but also the purple magnifier screen with light. Shit was so cash.Had pokemon yellow, pokemon pinball, and the GB camera. Also had the GB printer
I don't think any millennial would rate the GBC over the GBA or DS
>>737178946I remembered the gameshark code to capture mew offhand in Red/Blue0115D8CFAnd if it's Yellow0115D7CF
>>737178946Nah, the SP was peak gaming because of the backlight. That shit was HUGE as a kid. Also being able to recharge it was great because I didnt have to bother my parents for batteries all the time, which led to them not being as annoyed with me being on it all the time. And it could play all your gameboy/GBC games too. It broke my fucking heart when my SP's charging port got fucked up, I used the absolute shit out of it...Actually, is there ways to get a refurbished SP or something nowadays? Might do that. Or get a custom backlit GBA, but I would imagine youd still need batteries to run it and that would suck.
>>737179064We had a decent amount of games, but a lot of them were used games my mom would just buy at the store because they had a bin full of them. We had actual good games like Mario Land 1/2, all the Pokemon games, Tetris, a Megaman game, stuff like that.
>>737178946As a zoomer, it was.
>>737179432but why
>misrepresented grouping felt/considered/crappedtheirpantsaobut this artist/media/concept/activity"People" who make posts like this need to be euthanized.
>>737178946We do not. The peak was the original gameboy in clear plastic, not purple, and those stupid third-party accessories were a joke even back then.Bareback is the only way to do it, just like real life.But I'm a bit confused by the shit in the video; the shape of the hand grips seems anachronistic, so I'm not even sure what I'm looking at.
>>737178946The moment I got the Gameboy Advance SP, I never looked back at the GB color.
>>737179615It just popped in my head, just one of those things that stuck in long term memory
>>737178946Nah, I like the GBA and PSP more. '85fag here.
>>737178946Millenial here: outside of nostalgia I wouldnt recommend anybody to play any game on the GB/GBC. Its like nes games but even more simpel.T. Was glued to my GB in early childhood
Why do people only keep posting shit they made up about a specific group of people, do they think its funny?
>>737179490The original SP 001 model actually had a frontlight and looks pretty shit by modern standards. The later 101 model SP released after the micro has a real backlit screen and is the one you want and also costs a lot more.Personally I have the original GBA swapped with a backlit screen and rechargable AA batteries. I find it way more comfortable to hold and play action games with and not ever having to be tethered to a charger with spare pre-charged batteries is a bonus.
>>737178946The peak of gaming was the Super Nintendo, nice try.
>>737178946>joystick for a four directional game
>>737179490You can buy a GBA off of eBay with or without mods. I bought an AGS-101 from a pawn shop about fifteen years ago for $5 (it didn't have a charger and the owner didn't really want to sell it since he couldn't verify that it worked, told him I'd just give him five bucks and take my chances) and then reshelled it with a repro of the NES edition shell. You can buy some good replacement batteries for the SP these days, I like Helder's battery. I also have a regular GBA that is modded, but the speaker is just not loud enough. There is a mod you can get for that too but I think that has its own drawbacks. There are rechargeable battery mods you can get for it, but I prefer to just use rechargeable AA's.
>>737178946You don't need the worm light if you had the magnifier because the magnifier had a light on it already.
>>737179384Yea really. Im 1991 and the GBA definitely kicked the shit out of the gbc overall. Gbc just had the boost of pokemania leading to nostalgia, and gba was a bit after that IIRC so it didnt get that. But library wise it was far better. I skipped DS for whatever reason so no comment on that
Gbc/GBA functioned largely as Pokemon machines not really gaming from my experience back then. Ds you could actually buy for a vast library of varied titles
>>737180283>Gbc/GBA functioned largely as Pokemon machines not really gaming from my experience back then.I don't like Pokemon.
>>737179982Huh, I wonder what my model was. All I know was that I didnt have nearly as much trouble with glare and I could play it at night. I had an advance, so maybe it took me awhile to get my SP because my parents would have been like "you already have this shit". I cant remember. I sort of forgot that recharage batteries was a thing now, kek. Didnt even think about the hand grip stuff either, but yea I would imagine that it would be a bit harder to hold with adult sized hands. I might go find my SP and try to hold it for a bit to see if it bothers me.>>737180113Its funny, its like I dont register the modding scene for older stuff or something. It didnt even occur to me that there would be people doing this sort of work. I dont know why since it seems obvious there would be. Its probably like how it doesnt occur to me that I can just get shit off amazon and have it at my place by the next day. Because I remember it taking far longer back in the day and my brain cant seem to internalize that its not the 90s/early 00s any more
>>737180382I liked wario and seasons/ages, but thats kinda it for me
Its a'ight
>>737178946Making fun of iPad kids like they werent slack jawed glued to these things themselves. Your games went bing bing wahoo mine went wahoo bing bing we truly are the lost generation
>>737179039I'd say the video is a joke but it's a vertical video so it probably isn't
>>737180382then play this
>>737180673Based color. Quick retarded story. In after school care in like second grade some kid stole my gbc color and by stole I mean switched mine with his and I knew because the battery compartment was a little scuffed but otherwise they were identical and he had shitty dollar store batteries in his. I brought it up to the adults and he successfully gaslit them like I was crazy. Fuck you, Randy.
>>737179064What kind of retard would you have to be to not buy the Gameboy battery charger?
The peak of gaming was having the transfer pak for the N64 and playing pokemon blue on your bigass CRT.RedNIGGERS need not apply, your childhood was bullshit.
>>737179909Nah, the gameboy stuck around so long that it's a wider spectrum than the NES. You've got early shit that was worse like tetris and on-par stuff like metroid 2, but then you've got stuff that was basically in-between a NES and a SNES (design-wise, since I think the hardware is basically a NES) like Link's Awakening or Goldeneye.But gameboys were for long car rides and stuff. It was that or reading a book back then. I don't think there's too many titles people would even be interested in today unless they're playing through a series or something. But a lot of that shit like the Donkey Kong games or Mario Land are truly trash, yes.Pokemon blue/red hold up and are probably better than most of the shit that came later, I guess. I can't think of too many others. I'd say LA, but the switch remake was pretty dope. I suppose ages/seasons (they still haven't gotten a remake, right?) but they're honestly kinda meh and lack LA's weirdness. There's probably a few weird pulls that nobody ever thinks about though, like Resident Evil: Gaiden or Goldeneye like I mentioned (it's like Zelda: the Gear of Metal), but I don't think youtubers have told zoomers to like those yet.
>>737178946Was the Mad Catz who made those bootleg controllers the same Mad Catz that made those godtier fightsticks?
>>737178946name an alternative in that year for a gaming handheld
>>737180873The very same.
>>737180382>Final Fantasy AdventureYou're an okay nigga
>>737180113>>737180382why having all of this when you can just have pic rel?
>>737180908Game Gear obviously
>>737178946Kindly present your "peak of gaming,"Zoomer
>>737180998Psp is dog shit for gba emulation, can't 100% all games so you get stuttering audio
>>737180998Because nostalgia. Also PSP emulators suck, just get a $50 emulation handheld and it will BTFO the PSP.
>>737181025Obviously, watching N I G G E R dick worships videos on a Chinese platforms then dying for israel.Peak gaming
>>737178946Ratkikes are attacking millenials because they are fighting back against their jewish propaganda.The worthless fucking boomers and gen x-ers never did
>>737181070>>737181076I mean ok, the emulation is not perfect, but you also get PS1 and PSP games too>$50 emulation handhelddoubt that they can play PS1/PSP games too, and vita is too big
>All that shit just to show Pokemon Crystal's title screen for a video
>>737180283There's over 5K games on the Gameboy and GBC
>>737178946>Gameboy...HENSHIN!
>>737180695I mean, outside of pokemania? Not really. Most kids moved on, and it wasnt nearly as prevalent among the population because parents werent glued to a phone screen as well. Some were addicted to TV, but not nearly as much as the phone shit of today.It really did start in late 00s and early 10s. Because by that point you had social media, meaning more people got online, and then the parents did as well so you had a cascading effect. The problem isnt electronic distractions for kids, its that the parents that should be stopping the kids from being on it constantly are now also on the same shit constantly and dont parent. Its also a big part in why people dont want to parent any more to begin with, having access to infinite entertainment 24/7 and the total monopolization of down time has given people far less want to "give it up" to raise children.
>>737181182>doubt that they can play PS1/PSP games tooOh they absolutely can play PS1 games. PSP is pushing it, at that point you are looking more at the $100+ territory.
>>737180283not truegolden sunadvance warsff games (including tactics)manaetc.....
>>737178946No one called the gameboy the peak of gaming. You're trying to harm the reputation of millenials by making shit up, when there's plenty of other ammunition you could use to prove millenials are faggots. t. millennial.
>>737181215This. SO MUCH THIS......
>>737181249GB is very primitive, half of the GBC library from what I remember is just cut down versions of other games like mario golf and such
>>737180873Which ones? There's been like three eras of Mad Catz getting acquired/acquiring people. Including actual flight stick manufacturers. Mostly they're famous for making fucking garbage to fool your aunt in the cheap shit aisle of gamestop for decades. The "little brother controller" was always a mad catz that was half the price of a first-party one. They'd make fuckass "pro" addons like the dumb stick extension you see here but they also bought gameshark at one point, so some of their accessories did actually work. They're a mixed bag but mostly a joke so I'm curious.
>>737181302I guess (you would still have some issue with the PSP emulation).I just wish we could get an handled with the same ergonomic and form factor as the PSP that could just emulate almost everything below PS3/X360...
>>737181249>Game Boy: 874 games>Game Boy Color: 752 gamesThat's still a lot, but where the hell did you get 5k from?
>>737178946https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMItA-G8ej4
>>737181459>Megazord Transformationkek
>>737181215It wasn't a struggle. You were happy this was even possible.I got so much more sunlight as a kid than I would have otherwise thanks to my gameboy at least forcing me to sit next to a window.But that kid isn't wearing headphones, so the real struggle is that either he's playing muted or they're about to pull over and beat him when his parents get mad about hearing the "beep boops".
>>737181314Eh, not even then since most complaints about "millenials" are just complaints about freakshows on twitter, which shouldnt represent any generation as they are an extremely small minority. Similar to how most zooms arent actually broccoli haired dipshits that thinks that a 40 year old hooking up with a 30 year old is somehow predatory. People take the 2% of the population that is terminally online way too fucking seriously.
>>737179064>If you have a gameboy you probably only had like 3 games because your parents were mad that you made them spend $100 on AA batteries.My dad bought rechargeable batteries for us. I also split my games with my siblings, except for pokemon where we each had our own cartridge.
>>737181459forgot the gameboy camera and printer
>>737178946To this day im amazed how the cutscenes and gameplay of Star Ocean are even possible on GBC.
>>737179064this was me with my DS, I had a shit ton of gb and gba games but when the DS came out I only ever asked for ps2 and pc games or mmo subs
>>737181617Its cool seeing all the tech wizardy that was going on with old games to make them work. I wish we had half the talent and care now.
>>737181382retroid pocket 5 can do switch + wii u pretty well.it can boot ps3 games but they're unplayable. I'd give it another year or 2 before the chinkshits can handle gen 7https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhRjgRUURa8
>he doesn't enjoy the struggles of oldNGMI
OP is a 22 years old girl in his head.Reality: 39 years old transbian millennial.
>>737178946GBA was the peak of gaming. 100s of 10/10 games at 20-40 dollar price points.Most rpgs came with extra pack ins. DS continued this but was slightly more expensive.
>>737181314I'm a millennial and I'm calling it that.The libel is the accessories. Apart from the DC adapter and arguably the light (the common ones didn't look like a normal reading lamp though), we made fun of kids who had any of that silly garbage.
>>737181338Literally everyone I knew had picrel when I was younger
>>737178946there's at least $400-$500 worth of electronics in that webm.
>>737181556To be fair I see a fuck ton of broccoli heads out in public, so it's not just online stereotypes. Or did, I think it's dying down a bit. Also my gf is a substitute teacher and the amount of trannies, non-binaries, and other shit in school she told me about is deeply concerning.
>>737178946Did anyone have rechargable batteries for their GBs? I have no idea why my mum didn't get me some
>>737182002no, my parents just bought batteries from a wholesale club for cheap and by the time rechargeable batteries were getting more common i had the GBA SP which didn't need them anyway.
>>737181889interesting that it kinda looks like a gravis. I lived in a house as a kid so I didn't associate with any trailer park kids who had a genesis, thanks anonactually now that you mention it i vaguely recall they had the SNES equivalent of this at some daycare shit my parents sent us off to. the turbo switches were kinda useful. that place sucked but i have some fond memories of everyone trying to beat super ghouls and ghosts and shitmostly when i think of madcatz i remember the garbage they started pumping out from the 32-bit era onward.i bet there's whole landfills of practically unusable sloppy gc controllers somewhere
>>737178946Best thing about the gameboy series was the various amounts of backward compatibility from gameboy all the way up to 3DS so by upgrading you never had to immediately stop playing your previous gen games. The experience of old games was even improved with better colors, larger screen, backlighting, etc on the new hadheld
>>737181885No one even talks about gameboy games other than Pokemon and Link's Awakening. It barely has any games worth talking about unlike the NES.
>>737181818thanks for the video, still annoying that nobody just made a copy and paste of the PSP size and ergonomic, the dream would be a GBA form factor but let's be serious, it's not going to happen anytime soon.I wish someone would try to put that RP5 inside a PSP shell lol.
>>737181937Its dying down because it was made fun of a lot. Its like how fedoras and trenchcoats worn by weebs died because everyone made fun of them>Also my gf is a substitute teacher and the amount of trannies, non-binaries, and other shit in school she told me about is deeply concerning.Thats mostly because its the current meta both for teens to "stand out" and get anywhere in the real world. Like if I had to get a job right now, I would be pretending that I was gay or something because my chances at getting hired improve significantly if I do so. Women particularly like to claim they are bi or non binary or whatever to feel special, nevermind that they exclusively date and fuck guys.
The GBC is perfectly fine with a lamp or natural sunlight.
>>737180382>I don't like PokemonBaaaaassseeed. Absolutely hate faggots who buys Nintendo console for Pokemon or Monster Hunter and then complain the system has no games.
>>737181182Yeah but we talking about playing gba games here so why settle for a shit experience
>>737179064Yeah I loved the SP because of that, it literally fixed every issue I had with gameboys for as a kid, it was a gamechanger.
>>737182002I remember asking and my parents outright refusing because they were "expensive". Same deal with the DC adapter, that was out of the question.Obviously it would have been cheaper than buying AAs but I guess that generation barely tolerated us playing games in the first place, so they didn't wanna think about it.My solution was to steal batteries from the TV remotes. You could swap them with batteries too drained for the gameboy and they'd keep working for a while, then they'd die when I was far from the scene of the crime and get replaced and I would be waiting.>>737182557Name your favourite NES games so I can add them to my list of games that don't count because I listed them as exceptions. The gameboy was huge, man. Even just for Tetris at one point. What else is there to say about Tetris? It filled a special niche and lasted for a long-ass time because of it, even though it was never the flagship platform for any franchise you wanna argue about. That just makes it unique, and still the fucking peak.
Its been on my list to buy a GBA (wide model) with a backlit mod pre installed. Its been on my list for like 10 years and every year the prices get higher and higher that it makes me not want to get one.
>>737182848my point was that you could just have one handled that could store all of that internally, gb, gbc, gba, ps1, psp etc... which is quite a big factor when you consider that it's and handled that you are supposed to go outside with.Also, I did own a PSP and played some gba games on it without issues, so I think it's fine if you play the most well known games like pokemon and co.
>all this to play a 30 year old game at 1x speedlol
>>737178946i have that gameboy
>>737182920>that you made them spend $100 on AA batteriesrechargeable battery anon>>737179334got the printer, the camera, the magnifier with light, even the vibration too (star wars pod racer, a great game)
>>737183146>rechargeable battery anonmy bad, the message was for >>737179064
>>737180159The magnifier I had for my GBC had a light, and speakers that folded out to the sides. That shit was like the Ferrari of Gameboy accessories.
This stuff is pure meming, no one ever actually had their gameboy decked out like that because all those third party accessories sucked and barely helped.
>>737182920The only problem with the SP was that it was small enough to fit easily in your pocket, which is where you keep your emergency tubs of mcdonalds sweet and sour sauce. The seals were actually pretty good though so it wasn't that hard to clean sweet and sour sauce off them when you sat on it, but it did fuck up all your warioware stickers.But the smell left over was pretty good so overall the SP was probably my favourite too.
>>737179064>He didn’t have classmates to trade with
>>737178946No, it was the DS/3DS era. Games were more innovative. Tons of games taking advantage of touch screen. There were even music and drawing programs.People were excited about fucking drawing because of Swapnote and Flipnote. Streetpass was exciting, like little presents you got check for when you got home.I'd login to the eshop each week just to see what was new. Everything about it was great.
3DS was the true golden area of gaming. I fucking miss street pass games sooooooooo bad.
>>737178946i just rawdogged that shit homieit was peak handheld gaming to me until the SP
>>737180808An 8 year old retard, I guess.
>>737183918nigger we had the gameboy camera and printer.i remember someone bringing that to a school swimming festival and we spent the whole day photoshopping girls naked one careful pixel at a time.no way does drawing stick figures for strangers to look at compare to the miracle of this kind of portable convivial perversion being possible in anno 1999. plus you could make them juggle
>>737179064Can't believe his mom allowed him to have three games
>>73717938491 here, and love all three, but Link's Awakening is one of the best games ever made.NDS is probably my favourite in terms of overall library, and GBA is an excellent Wario Land 4 machine.
>>737179615i remember my locker combination from 20 years ago. sometimes you just remember some stupid shit forever.
Are these threads supposed to be some kind of humiliation ritual?
>>737184656That shit was currency in the schoolyard though. I remember only one kid had a gameshark or whatever and he'd sell mews for like $5 at lunch. I got mine as a trading dupe from my fattest friend, though.
>>737180113My rechargeable AAs died after about a year, so I just assumed they were a meme technology.
>>737183054I had a psp too but things like golden sun struggled and again, we talking about gba games anon, and there is not better experience that og hardware in with you can use the link cable with other systems and game cube
>>737180998This is better.
>>737181267
>>737185056Just need to buy good ones. Eneloops (preferably Eneloop Pros), or the Ikea brand (made in the same factory as the Eneloop Pros).

>>737187974chad + stud
'85 eldest of millennial here.We consider right now to be the peak of mobile gaming. The steam deck or the switch 2 is literally wait we dreamed about.
>>737186562of course they're good now, retard. that company didn't even exist back then. all we had were shitty NiCads or whatever.still better than buying disposable AAs but the DC adapter was the real move.
>>737187974>The fuck is chud?
>>737188006Its been 2 decades anon, if there was a way to optimize a gba emulator they would have done it already, but the true is just that the hardware isn't capable enough to emulate gba perfectly. Been there, my chink miyo mini plus emulate them better.
>>737178946Gen Z grew up playing these bro. 1996 is there start date which means they were having Gameboy colors when they were 6 or 7 and moved on to the Advanced/SP and PSP when they were 10Millenials were playing on the black and white ones or at home in the SNESGet your generations right Unc.
>>737188042You are a twelve year old child and lying.We did not dream of shit. Gameboys were great and they were plenty, being able to go portable at all was enough. Nobody was thinking "oh man I bet one day we'll be walking around with a rectangle of some capacitive touch OLED shit that hasn't been invented yet playing 3D games using rendering tech that haven't been invented yet", nigger. We were arguing about how many bits of raw power was p-p-p-packed into a SNES has even though we didn't know what that meant exactly.
>>737178946Fuck no.Peak of gaming was the original GB, in the back of the car during a long ride at night, trying to play in-between the moments you got light from the sodium streetlights, with random boring dad radio playing in the background.
>>737188412No, faggot. The idea of being able to take your console games with you was always a fantasy. We knew that we were making major sacrifices to play games on the Gameboy or game gear. It was exactly the same way we were ok with compromised ports of arcade games on the nes. Why do you think we figured out how to play mario on a graphing calculator? Why do you think they made shit like the turbo express or sega nomad? Why do you think the GBA was so exciting? Why do you think emulation and ps1 games on the psp was so cool? Remember the fucking palm pilot?Maybe you were just so dense that you couldn't see any advances past your own nose.
>>737178946I got the GBC when I was expecting the GBA and I was like fuck this I'm just going to emulate GBA games on my PC
>>737188239>the true is just that the hardware isn't capable enough to emulate gba perfectlyI really doubt that, I think it's mostly a lack of interest more than anything, there is no way that an hardware that can emulate PS1 game and even have some native games that are close to their PS2 equivalent (GT4 vs GT mobile albeit at lower resolution) can't run a gba game accurately. >miyo mini plusI don't think those chink hardware, the problem is always the ergonomic, either too small, or too big, or too clunky/toy.I guess the solution would be to mod them, aka put one of those inside a PSP or GBA shell.
>>737188042>We consider right now to be the peak of mobile gaming.no way you say that, not only the hardware is trash compared to what we should technically get (either it's not powerful enough, or it's shit ergonomic), but the worse is that most games are absolute shit
>>737189361I don't mind those*
>>737178946Tiktokers need to be shot
>>737189361Anon, psx is a piece of shit, the gba is 5 years newer and the pc emulator got made so fast because there was some nintendo leak wich speed things up, and you should know you need like 10x the power of a console you're trying to emulate, wich doesn't apply to native ports because like the name imply, native runs without conversion layers. If some day people reverse engineer gba games then a recompilation would run more than perfect. But emulation? Nope.
>>737181139>Ratkikes are attacking millenials because they are fighting back against their jewish propaganda.>The worthless fucking boomers and gen x-ers never did
>>737189845That's a jew.
>>737189506No actual millennial who actual grew up in the 90s would ever say that modern tech is shit. Go LARP at the park, not here.

>>737190740 You do understand that being born in 1996 doesn't mean that you "grew up in the 90s" right. I bet you a dollar that you barley remember y2k ot 911, if at all.
Im a 42 year old millenial and prefer the 3DS even though I used the gameboy I found in a ditch a shitload.
>>737190740>the PSP should be able to handle itlmao the gba docs leaked anon, you couldn't make a better emulator even if nintendo was the developer.Psx cpu was made in 1988 with a very limited instruction set, mhz speed mean jack shit if the newer gba cpu support way more and specific instruction set.I don't know why you keep denying an universal truth, PSP can't emulate the gba perfectly. No matter how many "if" or "maybe" you post.
>>737189845whatever happened to this guy anyway?
>>737178946It's a shame that zoomers can never know a time when life was simpler.
I didn't know anyone except for a gen x who owned a nintendont hand held
For me, it was the limited edition Pikachu GBC.
>>737179021>Game Boy Light
>>737191619I still have minebest christmas evar
>>737191379>PSP can't emulate the gba perfectlyI'm not denying that it can't emulate it now, I'm denying the fact that he can't be done.Like I said, if they were a big incentive, they will certainly be able to get more performance out of it, leaked docs or not, you still have to optimize the PSP hardware and find tricks (speedhacks) to improve it.It's the same reason why some console have a very slow progress in term of emulation (xbox original), it just a lack of interest incentive (in this case, gba emulation on psp).
>>737192269>nowWhy you keep walking in circles saying the same thing over and over?Every GBA spec and design doc leaked anon, you can't make it go faster no matter how hard you try, no one have done it in 2 decades because its not possible. Hence psp is shit for gba emulation.Its great for many other things just not gba and never will.
>>737178946goymaxx
>>737192563the pokemon games run fine though and you usually play those with speed up anyway. I remember that working and my friend playing the shit out of emerald on his psp i hacked for him 17 years agohe had no problems and even fast forward worked
>>737194168They run fine but stutter from time to time on transitions. Also fast forward skips the rendering of most frames, it doesn't actually render all the frames at more velocity.Try to play them with zero/disabled frameskip and come back to me.
>>737181903Damn, I guess I should have kept everything I owned when I was a kid so that 25 years later I could have sold it all to manchildren. I'm keeping my Goldeneye forever though.
>>737191619I had this. Now I'm wishing I had kept everything I owned from back then.
>>737178946yeah it was amazing, I played the fuck out of pokemon blue on itI did shit myself when the I played chain of memories on my sp tho
>>737179064i only convinced my parents to buy me a gameboy when they released the SP due the rechargable battery. I wanted a Vanilla advance because i liked the form factor way more tho...
>>737179790>a bunch of SNES ports and sequels to games that were better on more powerful hardwareYeah…cool…
>>737191619i still have mine and surprisingly it still works.
>>737178946>Millennials genuinely considered this the peak of gaming.No we don't. Gameboys were what you played when you were on a long trip or wanted to sneakily play something when you were supposed to be sleeping. The latter or nighttime drives only worked if you had a light. God have mercy on your soul if you turned on the car's domelight while Dad was driving.
>>737189001But that's bullshit, retard. > It was exactly the same way we were ok with compromised ports of arcade games on the nes. No, it's nothing like that. A NES is not portable, dipshit, it has nothing to do with it. Home console ports were simply a combination of brand recognition and irrelevant product development on the publishers' side because half the time we didn't know there were even arcade versions (and before you start LARPing harder, this is because arcades only ever had a random selection of shit).The ENTIRE FIRST GENERATION of consoles were home Pong boxes, which was pure novelty. Nobody was staring at the clouds and dreaming of playing Pong on the bus.> Why do you think we figured out how to play mario on a graphing calculator?Alright, you're definitely lying about your age. I remember what graphing calculators could do back then.>Why do you think they made shit like the turbo express or sega nomad? Why do you think the GBA was so exciting?...we were already talking about the Game Boy, dipshit. Handhelds existing does not justify your headcanon about why handhelds exist, and that's not even what you're arguing about.> Why do you think emulation and ps1 games on the psp was so cool?None of that existed. You're talking about the attitudes of much later players, because you are a small child.>Remember the fucking palm pilot?The shit literally nobody had besides dudes who used it as an executive planner?Televisions were large. We had LANs. They put a handle on the gamecube and not one person on the planet ever used it. Nobody was thinking about handhelds being whole-ass computers until smartphones. All media was focused exclusively on how blastful the current-gen was because it was already sufficiently cool new shit that never existed before IF YOU WERE ALIVE. Kids in the 90s were not sitting around thinking "gee wiz I can't wait for star trek technology to exist when I'm like 40, how totally tubular would that be", you fucking imbecile.
>>737179064This. I had 4 though.>Pokemon Yellow (sucks in retrospect)>Tony Hawk: Pro Skater (sucked back then and now)>Mega Man Xtreme 2 (bretty gud)>TLoZ: Link's Awakening DX (best GBC game)
>>737182252Hey, retard. That's a SNES controller.
>>737178946I'm so old I could have bought a gameboy but I didn't because the games were so shit. People point to whatever handful of games actually worked well, and forget the goddamn avalanche of shitty 'ports' of games and complete trash. It was more similar to the NES in that regard that actual unfinished crap got published and it was hard to know one from the other (thanks to Nintendo hype and crooked game sources). >>737179982Now the GBA on the other hand had real gems, and functional ports of classic SNES titles, and that would have really got me except I wasn't a kid anymore and wanted a better PC for real games.Whenever nostalgiafag threads arrive you can get the feeling that an entire generation was brainwashed to like some piece of garbage. It was possible to see the flaws at the time.
>>737198152I not even going to begin to explain how blatantly wrong and retarded this all is and just going to chalk it up to being a troll post.
yep it's gaming time
>>737192563>Why you keep walking in circles saying the same thing over and over?because I didn't?you said that gba doc leaked therefore that's it, we reached end goal, that's not how emulation works.to optimize an emulator, you need to know how the machine you want to emulate works, yes, but you also need to know how to optimize the hardware that you will use to emulate said machine (aka the PSP), you need to know the in and out of both system.most devs won't spend a huge amount of time trying to extract the most out of the PSP to run some gba games, it's not because the PSP can't do it, it's just nobody cares to spend month to achieve that goal.It's the same reason why some console/emulator have less progress than others (original xbox, xbox 360 etc...) it's just a question of interest.
>>737198152>I remember what graphing calculators could do back thenYou could play Mario, doom, pokemon, gta, and a whole slew of other games on a TI83.
>>737181556You aren't hysterical. Some balanced opinion. What are you doing here? How can I get out?
>>737178946Playing pokemon on a gameboy wasn't the peak of gaming. It was just something you do to pass the time on long roadtrips with your family. I did have the magnifier with a built in light tho.
