I had the OG Gameboy version of the Handy-pak. It had an added lanyard and it had a funky battery adapter to run off the Gameboy's batteries instead of having its own... because the Gameboy had such great battery life to begin with. Problem was the tabs on the joystick would break off, rendering it pretty much useless.
"You can take that on the bus" sounds like the new, trendy way to subtly and sarcastically way to cast an immense amount of shade upon a person or thing.
8:30 I own one of those game genies. Fun fact. If you mod it by cutting away a small portion of the back, you can use it on your gameboy SP or gameboy color. I used it to hack in Mew into pokemon :)
I remember only buying one accessory for my DMG, and that was The Light Boy, which was just the lighted magnified screen add on. For my GBA, I only bought the Rechargeable Battey adapter. Just avoided many of them as at the time I saw them as a waste of money, and did not foresee them being collector items.
I just watched yesterday your video from 3 years ago "pimp my original gameboy" I want the saitek booster boy so bad it looks amazing lol... but the hyper boy looks pretty sweet also
If you don’t know what Game B is, it’s a harder mode. I don’t know how to access it, since I’ve never played Tetris on the Game Boy, but I think it should be accessible from the main menu.
Been following your work for a while and this is my favorite channel on retro handhelds so far. Keep up the good work man, absolutely love the content. Can't wait to see what's next! 🎮
Game Genie! Who can forget those? Been rocking those since NES! Booster Boy I think looks like 1 I wanted because it was like turning the GameBoy into a mini arcade cabinet kind of, like the little Donkey Kong game the Mogwai play around with in Gremlins. I had something called HandyBoy, which had flip out speakers, screen magnifier, and these weird butttons and thumb pad analog.
Well I got to admit Nintendo was honestly in it for the games and the gameboy will outlast all the computers that replaced it so in the end its gameboy that you will play and the only proof of humane will be gameboy.
Epic! So THIS is how you do your pimp my gameboy videos. I've convinced my inner demon to pillage the nearby Pacman cabinet and get me a Game Boy Horror just so that I can fill it with electricity.
I used to have a Booster Boy. It doubled as a 'cryocasket' while I was playing with action figures... I used to go through this elaborate scenario where the big-bad was being revealed and all the panels and doors on the booster were controls on the cryocasket... Ah imagination.
@@RetroDodo Have you seen the recent backlight mod for the DMG? Where the whole screen and control board gets replaced? It's amazing. Thinking of that one too. Heck, I have a list of stuff I want to buy but I sure can't do it all at once XD
That last one. the handy pack 2. i had the orginal growing up for the original gameboy. it was called the Handy Boy. and it was the exact same thing you had there. just bigger for the old school gameboy. and i also had the game genie for mine too lol. ah memories. i sold off everything i had thou except for my original gameboy i keep. and i keep a copy of tetris. because i'd be unhuman not to haha.
My dad had an old gameboy with lots of games and almost perfect condition boxes of the console and game, and one of the games was f1-race. The game was missing but it did still have the four player adapter, and it's cool to look at. Saldy none of my friends have gameboys so i can't use it, but it looks handy.
Good show. make more pls 1. GB swaying machine 2. GB exercise bike 3. GB pocket sonar 4. GB medical narcosis dispenser 5. GB organiser with the keyboard work boy 6. GB solar charger 7. GB waterproof case
I like the accessories for the Nintendo Game Boy. Each one carries the quality seal that tells you, it’s part of the Nintendo® Game Boy® family. Those include Handy Boy™ by STD, Game Light™ by Nuby, Light Boy® and Light Boy™ V2 by Vic Tokai, The Illuminator™ by Greer, Game Boy® Bodyguard™ Sure • Grip Protective Cover by Meliconi, Super Game Boy® Game Boy™ Printer and Game Boy® Player by Nintendo.
I think the BoosterBoy might be the 1 I always wanted, making it look like a mini arcade cabinet, or slightly possibly HyperBoy, except I don’t recall seeing that look all that much. I had a Handy Pack for OG GameBoy, but the buttons were unusable, uncomfortable buttons and tight analog just doesn’t move smoothly everywhere. Unfortunately, my GameBoy no longer works. Would love to seek a new 1 someday or Pocket for that matter, screen died on that 1, which a friend said he got working with a pin because somehow he broke the power switch.
I wish you could get Work Boy. Too bad it was never actually released. There was also -GB Kiss: infrared enabler for GB. Only worked with a few games I think, like Robopon. -GB mobile adapter: used to connect GB to a cell phone. Mostly used with Pokémon Crystal. Even in Japan not many kids had cell phones so it failed -PediaSedate: Distract kids with a Game Boy while they’re being given nitrous oxide before dental procedures
I know that you need the new Retroad S Plus from Ali-Express with the gameboy color adapter. 7" HDMI Gameboy Color. No multiple players but a gem. I do think you may be able to do fighting games with the Super Gameboy multiplayer though. Super Gameboy fighting games were programmed for two SNES controllers.
Depends if the screen has lines of dead pixels you can pull the gameboy apart and as long as it's not a smashed screen you can take a soldering iron and run it across the top edge of the screen not on the screen but where the solder is and it should bring the pixels back to life.
@@kabba4575 Sorry just getting into this stuff, programmer by trade, but on power up you can hear the sounds but the screen has mostly dark grey lines across the whole screen. If you look real close you can see the Nintendo logo move to the middle. When it is off there is a big dark grey area in the middle of the screen.
Really ? when you start up tetris. and you'r choosing options. it'll have a option to play game A or game B. on the same screen where you can change the game music
I had that "HandyPak" you showed here and I loved it! Mom got it for me along with the GameBoy Color (not Pocket) and it worked great for me. Sound was crisp, the magnifier and lights worked well for 9 years old me, I was very happy with it. Sadly it doesn't work anymore aside from the buttons and fake joystick - which was my favorite part about it.
THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM!!!

I would hack professor oak as the final battle, myself......
I remember seeing the Booster Boy On AVGN's Game Boy Accessories Video
I WANT TO BE SEDATED BY A GAMEBOY!!!
@@airplane6417 BAM BAM BA BAM BAM BAM BA- I WANNA BE SEDATED BY A GAMEBOY!!
@@airplane6417 v
So that's where I remember the item from
I remember owning one and it still being in my closet at my parents house.
I remember only buying one accessory for my DMG, and that was The Light Boy, which was just the lighted magnified screen add on. For my GBA, I only bought the Rechargeable Battey adapter. Just avoided many of them as at the time I saw them as a waste of money, and did not foresee them being collector items.
I liked the 2nd one without the battery and speaker pack. It actually seemed manageable before the speaker thing.
😂 True. Thanks for watching!
When you put the button/joystick thing on the gameboy colour, it looked like a minion until you put the battery pack thing on 😂
Honestly, i have always enjoyed this type of content.
Keep up the great work! I enjoy this channel alot.
Big Boys are in the town.... The HUGE Game Boys 🤣
"Game B" probably means "game type B' in which you have to do 25 lines to finish the level ✌🏼
Love ur channel bro!
I just watched yesterday your video from 3 years ago "pimp my original gameboy" I want the saitek booster boy so bad it looks amazing lol... but the hyper boy looks pretty sweet also
Game Type A & B hit select on the menu 9:49

How far we've come replacing upgrading the screens on all my Gameboys
13:29 : I used to carry my Game Booster with me at school. I was krazy.

always pumping out the coolest videos!
Dudeeee the little book in the back of the game genie.... that's soo freaking cool... and cute haha
This guy is so good, let’s get him to 200k
I remember getting the HandyPack for my clear purple GBC and it matched. Playing PKSilver at night was my fave. Good times…
I get all the girls with my GameBoy color protector necklace
Daaaaang straight. 😂
Game-B means Game Type B. The game type where you only need to make 25 lines to finish the game. By default, Game Type A is selected.
Epic! So THIS is how you do your pimp my gameboy videos.
I've convinced my inner demon to pillage the nearby Pacman cabinet and get me a Game Boy Horror just so that I can fill it with electricity.
Type b is the puzzle game in Tetris. I guess it will just give you the long piece?
No, type B you have to clear 25 lines to win. With the code you win on line 1.
I used to have a Booster Boy. It doubled as a 'cryocasket' while I was playing with action figures... I used to go through this elaborate scenario where the big-bad was being revealed and all the panels and doors on the booster were controls on the cryocasket... Ah imagination.
Nostalgia is real! 😍
5:32 How does the vibration work? Will it just go off randomly or does it communicate with the game somehow?
10:04 There's a game type option. Set it to Game B.
Can you review the GPD xd please?
Nice video thanx in this quaratine
After my upcoming move I'm thinking I might get the Booster Boy, I've had it in the back of my mind for a while.
Do it! It's one of the best DMG accessories!
@@RetroDodo Have you seen the recent backlight mod for the DMG? Where the whole screen and control board gets replaced? It's amazing. Thinking of that one too. Heck, I have a list of stuff I want to buy but I sure can't do it all at once XD
where could i find the pad for game boy advance at 15:00 ? cause i 've got pain in my hand, my hand are too big for GBA
That last one. the handy pack 2. i had the orginal growing up for the original gameboy. it was called the Handy Boy. and it was the exact same thing you had there. just bigger for the old school gameboy. and i also had the game genie for mine too lol. ah memories. i sold off everything i had thou except for my original gameboy i keep. and i keep a copy of tetris. because i'd be unhuman not to haha.
The only one me and my siblings used were variations of the chargers and the light boy accessories
No gameboy advance sp accessories :( but that's ok
YO Brandon! Where can we buy that GBA DUEL HAND GRIP!?
Awesome video!!
Does the gameboy color accessory work for the gb boy colour?
Booster can play with the Game Boy, Game Boy Play It Loud!, Game Boy Pocket or Game Boy Color?
Great channel mate! Really! Love this stuff! Keep on going! Greetings
How many batteries and what size where they for the konami thing?
thanks for the video dodo
Booster boy can play with gameboy color or only with the first gameboy?
Does anyone know where to get that damn original gba hand game grip!? Looks amazing and I can't find it anywhere online
I remember the big ass booster from AVGN
Nice vid. I'm not sure if you've already covered them but there were a camera and printer accessories for them aswell?

After seeing this video i Guess im gonna buy one tomorrow at my local game shop :)
There another version of the Hyperboy called the Top Boy, I believe its the same unit release under another company else where.
can you use the hyper boy with a gameboy color

Ways to make your gameboy non portable

The steampunk gba ist a great design. I think the handy pak 2 is really cool for the GBpocket.
Where can I get that GB Cartridge reader?
LOL your prices. Now the BoosterBoy costs around 250€ in original box and extreme hard to find.
Which is better the Hyperboy or the Boosterboy?
the game genie works with the color and gba btw
I miss the printer for gameboy here :)
Can you use that last one that you showed on a gameboy color it looks insane lol
I know that you need the new Retroad S Plus from Ali-Express with the gameboy color adapter. 7" HDMI Gameboy Color. No multiple players but a gem. I do think you may be able to do fighting games with the Super Gameboy multiplayer though. Super Gameboy fighting games were programmed for two SNES controllers.
The right console on the thumbnail looks like the Backpack from ASTRONEER...
I have an original Gameboy console that powers up but the screen does not load properly. What should I do with it?
What exactly is wrong with the screen?
Depends if the screen has lines of dead pixels you can pull the gameboy apart and as long as it's not a smashed screen you can take a soldering iron and run it across the top edge of the screen not on the screen but where the solder is and it should bring the pixels back to life.
I'd recommend watching odd tinkering hes a youtube channel that has a video on restoring an gameboy.

what’s the music at 3:32??
The new megazord is look lit.
That white GameBoy Color 🤩🤩🤩
Tidy hey?
@@RetroDodo Looks like brand new 2020 product ;) Japan import?
Why did you start with the most interesting and work backwards?
Game B is B type game when you select before music
Ahhh codemasters.... I still miss TOCA touring cars.
These are awesome addons
does the game genie have cheats for pokemon?
Really ? when you start up tetris. and you'r choosing options. it'll have a option to play game A or game B. on the same screen where you can change the game music
I finally got a gameboycolor and I'm trying to buy accessories

The hyper boy would probably be better if you put a gameboy that has a back-lit screen mod on it.
They should make one with a poke ball sized screen frame(just my person thoughts)
The konami hyperboy would go great with a modern gameboy screen upgrade.
Agreed.
The saitek was amazing I played with it alot haha
The SAITEK looks like the KATAMARI DAMACY's character!!!!!
🎵he’s gonna take you back to the past.......🎵
🎵To play the shitty games that suck ass🎵🎵....
🎵He’d rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in his ear🎵...
11:11 you call this "portable"?
I think a distant "AAAAAASSSSSSSSS" was heard here. 11:09
I'm buying a hyperboy and taking it to the bar
Steam punking a cyber punk gadget interesting choice 🤨
Nice video
Mod the hyper boy for led instead of what ever that is😂
