Were Game Boy games specifially made with the DMG's creamed spinach screen in mind, and not just any monochrome 4-shades screen?
>>12605956Good question. It's similar to SNES aspect ratio issue, it depends on the game. Some games are made with green in mind and some not. For example Gargoyle's Quest should always be played on a green tinted screen.
>Game Boy Pocket>Game Boy Light >Game Boy Color BC>Game Boy PlayerYou didn’t beat the game.>Super Game Boyonly counts if the game was made for it
I've seen emulators used by devs and official promo shots in black & white
>>12606016From what year?
>>12605995What about GBA BC and what about emulating on PS Vita (my preferred way of running GB games as of late)and what about the Super GB Booster?
Oddly enough it looks more yellow when they represent it on the boxes.
>>12606073anyone know if the DMG dirtybuds were any good
>>12606016I remember there were Game Boy kiosks in stores that mirrored the LCD display onto a full CRT TV but I don't remember what color it was. I want to say it was black and white but this was literally almost 50 years ago.
>>12606223Kioks were black & white by default but they put a green filter on the screen
>>12606073i remember it being more yellow than green
>>12606216Why would the buds be dirty
>>12606060No, even more no, and maximum no.
>>12605956Is there any point to getting a GB Pocket instead of a GBC?
>>12607296You can attach a strap to it and put it around your neck, or put it in your pocket but make sure at least half of it is visible. You'll be the most fashionable guy on your way to Starbucks.
>>12607296There's a couple of games like Road Rash that if you have them on cart they won't play properly on the GBC because they exploit DMG quirks that were revised on the GBC hardware.
>>12607296The Pocket screen has a different look to it than the GBC screen, which comes down to preference, though the GBC screen is higher quality in an objective sense. Some (most? all?) Pocket screens have a propensity to have dark banding extending out from dark pixels, while GBCs do not, plus GBCs have a better refresh rate, so less motion blur.>>12605956Yes, in the sense that until the SGB came out, that was really the only way that consumers had to play GB games.https://youtu.be/zOF4Wm2_6oMThe WideBoy, a device used by developers (and presumably publications, for screenshot purposes) during GB gamedev, seems to default to a yellow-green biased color palette. Basically, yes, if you want the most authentic GB experience, you play on an original gray brick GameBoy, because that was the console that most people had, and was what developers had in mind, at least until the SGB (but competent devs would have kept the original GB in mind, since that was still how most people played GB games, and even those with a SGB would still want to take the GB on the go; Rare, on the other hand, seemingly forgot this, so the first Donkey Kong Land looks like absolute fucking dogshit on actual GBs, though to their credit, they fixed this for the sequel).
>>12606073anon, they had modded units that would output video to crts which they would then photograph so the screenshots would actually read
>>12607296There’s no point in getting either. Just emulate, play the game for ten mins and then be thankful you didn’t waste money.
There's definitely something to the look of the original screens vs emulating the games in just basic black and white. They also just look disgusting on Gameboy Color and Super Gameboy. There are nice filters to recreate the original look on Retroarch so I just use those.
>>12607965>There are nice filters to recreate the original look on Retroarch so I just use those.No you don't lol. The DMG screen has a paper texture to it.
>>12607965>lil nicky instead of lil nigga or lil lickyNgmi
It's at the very least the way I look at the pocket monster no. 001
>>12606073Wait, GB had stereo sound?
>>12608003Every Game Boy has stereo with headphones.
>>12608003
>>12608003yea, only one speaker built in but stereo out of the headphone jack. if you didn't hear stereo you may have had to pick the option in the game's settings... surely you didn't play a bunch of gb games and never checked the options, right?https://youtu.be/ZdNAQIXj_IY
>>12608017maybe he didn't have the first one, later revisions didn't have any text there
>>12608020I was 7. What the hell do I know what 'options' were?
>>12608052I started to learn to type on a computer at the age of 4 before I learnt to read or write just to play video games.so I'm telling your 7 years old self to get good
>>12608052because you were 7 and clicked on everything just to see what happens?
>>12608052You couldnt read at 7?
>>12608610I can't read now :(
>>12605995*Super Game Boy 2s in your path*
>>12608739Is it an upgrade
