  This is the ideal Gameboy body. You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like (just be sure to have all the batteries nearby).

  I actually got that kit from a friend as a kid, I used it all the time when playing at home, the fake analog was legit, and I think there’s a light on the magnifier too.

  I tried to find a photo of this janky Game Gear peripheral I had, but came across this angelfire website instead: www.angelfire.com/games4/…/Gamegear.html

  I feel like this website may actually be from the 90s… It’s literally just a person talking about the cool shit they have for their Game Gear, and the only email address is @aol.com

    Can confirm. So far I’ve gotten an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, docking station and a stand for it so it can be used as a laptop as well while traveling.

    It certainly has issues but it’s an impressive device.

  This is like the Thanos glove with the stones (can’t remember the actual names) of the 90s. The only thing missing is a power glove which it’s all mounted on, and an NES Zapper somehow integrated into it all.

    I had the GameBoy Color version of the magnifying glass/speaker/fake joystick combo. It ran the speakers and the light off of its own pair of batteries. The speakers were an upgrade (especially for the stereo sound) but everything else was a gimmick. The incandescent bulb was too dim and housing around the screen made it darker and even more difficult to see.

    Later on in early 2000s we got the worm light. LED and was powered from the link cable port. It was considerably brighter and hardly affected battery life from what I remember:

    We also eventually got magnifying glasses that didn’t have the housing around the screen to darken it:

      I miss the worm lights. My cousin had one, and even though I had the Advance SP, I thought the worm LED was super neat.

    • PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Those worm lights were the first time I ever saw an LED. It was crazy how it was so bright it was blue.

  You’re probably thinking ew! Who would ever want that? They must have worked hard on the marketing side!

  Well there was nothing better and everyone had a TV. So they had normal TV commercials for it.

  What would actually happen if you used an action replay and a game genie at the same time? Would it not even be able to boot up? Would it work and just one supercedes the other? I only ever had game genie so I couldn’t test it. Does anyone know?

  source

  • Metype@pawb.social ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Based on my (admittedly not incredible) knowledge of how those devices both work, they intercept reads for specific memory addresses from the CPU and insert their own values. As long as they both weren’t set up with codes to modify the same address very little would happen, it would behave as you might expect.

    If the two both had codes that modified the same address the Game Genie would “win” here since it is physically closer to CPU in the chain. It would see the address matching one of its codes and spit back its value, neither the cartridge nor the Action Replay would see the memory read occur.

    source

    • you_are_dust@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Thanks for that. Do you know would the serious issue be like hardware damage or just like corrupted gameplay? I’ve seen some videos of game corruption and I’m wondering if that’s something people could use or would it just fry the game or console.

  No, you do not mix AR and game genie but there is a distinct absence of anything Gameboy camera/printer attachment so it’s clearly incomplete. I’d also suggest the attachment reading lamp, but I think if that magnifying attachment comes with a light that works, too. Not sure if that particular one does, though.

  A game genie and action replay on one unit? I seem to recall that being a very bad idea.
