The Retro Future Giveaway Hype!
Okay
I'd love to see a teardown. I wonder if there's any way to reflash the ROM at all.
I would love to have the gameboy
Teardown.. NOW.... Really curious to see (a) if it can be flashed or (b) it can be gutted or (c) a Pi Zero could replace the innards but connect to the screen and buttons?
I really don't understand why nintendo doesn't produce an original gameboy with a modified LCD screen, rechargeable battery and able to play the original carts!?! NINTENDO! If you can hear me, DO IT!!!! PUT ALL THOSE WANNABE GAMEBOY "DEVELOPERS" TO SHAME.
I mean aside of the LCD screen update, they have technically have done this with the Gameboy Advance SP which is backwards compatible.
@@fellyfel2313 Does the GBA SP come with hundreds of games on it then?
......DS
Felly Fel I agree, Nintendo should make a GameBoy Classic with a backlit screen and an ability to play cartridges
cuz ninty r dum
What's Inside? - ua-cam.com/video/fxcrHGZMSZ4/v-deo.html
10:47 YES!!! HE FINALLY CLEANED THAT THINGY,
idk why I couldn't stop looking at it
hahahahhahahahahahahaahahshsh
the black dot?
drpepper03 yeah
Dat boi
“Pocket monsters. Which is always that weird, fake pokemon thing”
Sh- should i tell him?
Lol
Love how you always find something new and interesting gameboy related.
SporkyMan yess
8:40 The position of Dale on both sides of the picture just makes this!
You Save my money! This is the only review on you tube where i see the real game inside this retro console....thanks thanks thanks!
Looking forward to a teardown. Thanks for the vid!
The feeling of betrayal when it turned on.
it gave me coronavirus
The rona theme song
what is the (source of the) menu theme?
Awesome! Thanks for the opportunity!
That thing is super cool. I loved the gameboy
Why is this so hard. All I want is:
4 buttons. 2 Shoulder buttons. A good screen. Gameboy form factor.
*THE POCKET GOOOOOO*
Always Falling Short 2DS
Bittboy
Retro Mini is Probably the best Because it has an SD Card Slot to add More Roms
Great console, definitely want to buy one
I have the retro mini since december is very nice! Have a long battery life an good screen!
Design : 5/5
Sound : 5/5
Display : 5/5
Software : -5/5
Why u do dis China
Agreed.
I think he means that you can't add or remove ROMs.
Emerald Otringal for sure. I think that’s what they were talking about. I opted for a Gameboy Zero off Etsy and currently use GPD.
Theres 2 things i dont like about it...i wish it included mariokart for snes...and the mortal kombats...its also too small of a screen
@@TheRetroFuture How about a tutorial on how to put a raspberry pi zero into it? would be really cool and even with the raspberry pi zero it would be still under 40$ which is a nice price...
You could actually very easily modify this with a raspberry pi!!
This uses a very common screen driver board that has pins for composite in !
A little cutting inside, attaching a pi, soldering the composite pins, attaching the controllers to the GPIO, and perfect!
television and cheese and connecting the battery through an app and adding a charging port in parallel with the battery etc ...
Would love to learn how to mod the screen!
Costs more tho
Hands down, this is the best unboxing vid I've seen. Very funny & entertaining.
im really glad these things still exist. every kids first console/handheld should be a bootleg with a 100-in-1 cart where it's just 20 versions of 5 games.
I was thinking of getting one. I'm glad you reviewed it. Lol
It will still be somewhat fun!
just get a ds/gba advanced and a micro-sd cartridge
Eish I think its already late, my order is on its way.. will send a review. But I honestly thought this was a Nintendo product...
I saw it on eBay and got interested and then I found your video... I’ll be saving my money 😁😅
"Notice anything the same? I can't! That's because my eyes are closed."
😂😂
i have the RetroMini and so far I am really liking it.....
Looks cool, great review
6:19 the one he's holding. My dad found one of those on the road but it has a grainy texture but the back is exactly the same.
7:54 had me dying over here man LOL
Yeah go on mate
I binge watched all your videos
“Poor translations, misery and pain” hahahaha
I'm sure its actually quite amusing.
I won’t purchase one of these for myself but will prob purchase for some of my nieces and nephews for Christmas/birthdays
Carlos Rivera Thats what i said, she might as well get a real nintendo 3ds. or game boi. 😂
I still prefer the Retro Mini. Love it. Carry it in my backpack everyday.
Cool vid, as always. I’d like to get one of them RetroMini’s. Expandable storage is a must.
3:17 LOL
"Notice anything the same? I can't, that's because my eyes are closed!" XD
Haha! Glad you heard that bit!
Exellent video ! No suprise really!
Thanks dude!
I legit instantly loved this device and persuaded me to pick up the original Retro Mini and this device as well. Would love to get the cool baby from you
Love your channel and reviews, keep up the good work!
8:18 The newer model gets switched on.
You're welcome.
Nice, maybe, there is some way to flash another system or roms.
Nice videos, always love the obscure stuff you find.
Keep up with the great work and keep producing high quality vids
Glad I watched this before wasting my money!!
Thanks man
When I heard that song I laughed so hard 😂
This actually looks much better than majority of those small-size emulation consoles. The screen is huge comparing to most of those.
Great video review as always
Wow the hardware is pretty dang nice! How about a teardown so we can see if it can be modded with a Pi Zero? That would be perfect!
Will do bud!
The Retro Future Looking forward to it :]
great retro console
I got one of these in red yesterday, and I wasn't expecting smb2 to not be on there, I still like it tho. 👍🏽
Ohhhhhhh this is AWESOMEEEEE
So excited Elliot! Hope I win. I've been following you for a while now.
10:47 Finally see's the crumb.
It’s great to see you reviewing these type of game boy knock offs,always great videos
Really enjoyed your video - thanks for sharing this! I've put together a pretty comprehensive collection of 'official' handheld games, ranging from the simple "LED" games from the late 70's and early 80's, through the Game&Watch era, NGPC, GameBoy, WonderSwan, etc., but I've never really messed with these 'unofficial' Linux-based handhelds yet. Based on the other comments here, I'm thinking I might try to find an RS-97 and mod it, but as a newbie with AliExpress, I'm pretty nervous to buy something without knowing what I'm going to get. Oh well - it's an adventure!
i lost it at "they need to be killed" LOL
Convince Shawn to do a Pi0 mod on this thing, or you do it. Really as long as either you or Shawn do it, I'll be happy.
My first video game console was atari 2600 when i was like 5 back in 1985 when i was living in south florida during the time.
I love these knockoff gameboy videos! Keep em coming!
You know what you haven’t done in a while repaired a gameboy
Haha - It's expensive! I have fixed every GameBoy on this channel! I will do more soon. Going to refurb a DS soon!
@@TheRetroFuture Yes ds refurb
Der Rettro mini ist der beste Game Boy Advance
Good looking handheld, I do love how generic game names for the knock-off games that never gets old.
The Retro Mini looks a LOT better to me honestly. The best out of the ones you showed in this video.
that thing would be worth buying if only for the shell and battery and hack a pi zero w in there seriously. i too like to looks of it, but man what a shame.
4:05
Tseries is likely part of the development team that made that due to their logo on the packaging. And so Nintendo may be able to sue T-series
Good unboxing got one of these in the mail today
Love the work!
That looked more like mini usb.
8:36 god that made me laugh a lot XD
It was a bad decision setting them all off!
Wow you are very cool!! And professional at Gameboy I hope I'll get one!
Retro Future I absolutely love your vids! I’ve been looking for a retro console content creator, and your the one!!! Keep up the great work!
Heck yeah! Thank you!
04:54 *Mini USB!*
those are 10 times more robust than micro USB, and works the same
[yeah, I hate micro USB]
Do u like usb c?
Kinda, im still testing it in my new phone, i still need to buy Usb-C to 3.1 cable
(there was only c to 2.0 [yeah i don't have quick charge {it don't needs it anyway} :P])
and test data speed
Oh? I'm not the only one?
Thank you. I cringed every time he said micro usb
Totally with you. Mini was so much better. I think they went to micro for the very reason that it needs replacing more often. I have mini cables from 10 and 11 years ago that still fit perfectly and function perfectly. Micro is such a letdown.
You should 3D print and make your own handheld!!
I will some day!
please do it! you have learned all the NO things to do on these knock-off... and maybe mod community need a perfect size custom case-screen set for Pi modding etc Saludos!
You can easily 3D print a shell and buttons and then use an existing board like a Raspberry Pi. Its been done.
Shadowscholar lol you got schooled
Just slap a battery on a raspberrypi and put retro pie on it. Well the dpad will be the actual challenge:) ua-cam.com/video/6uf28h1UpRQ/v-deo.html
Awesome videos as always :), your videos really helps me to relax
You are the best ! Thanks for great videos !
That's perfect for putting a pi zero in it !
WolfyZ zero w with retropie.
chizukichan yesssssss
I know right!
Hopefully the display is not too exotic and could be made to work with DPI.
Siana Gearz only a teardown can tell that.
teardown please? for that very small chance of modifying it into something better.
ProBro_NL maybe build a display adapter for the screen as well as a config for the resolution for retropie on the pi zero w?
something like that, but it wont be easy, if even possible at all
ProBro_NL it's been done before with other LCD screens.
I will do if enough people want to see it!
The Retro Future would like to see a teardown of it
Thanks for the Review!
You won! Follow my page TheRetroFuture on Facebook, I will contact you on there!
The Retro Future Awesome!! Thanks!!
Enjoying your reviews keep it up bro!
That black spec at the beginning annoyed the heck out of me :P
Sorry!
Mighty final fight stage 1 music
Number one for everything retro
Maybe I'll get my hands on one of these soon.
Totally not applicable to the topic of gameboy games, or famicom games, but your hands are really dry. Try getting some sheabutter hand lotion. I suggest Bourbon from Bath and BodyWorks. It's really good. Apply it right after your shower, when your skin is still moist. If you apply it daily for a week it will help with the dry, flakey, cracking skin. Help you get ladies.
Lol!!!
I knew what you were getting into once I saw the box ... another day, another Chinese knock-off ...
Loved the tear down video - yeah it’s knockoff but I’m always amazed how they do these products so cheap
Hey Elliot, great vid as always
If you want the best budget homebrew console of 2018 get a "RS-97" console and install dingux on it , it runs a ton of consoles, pc ports like Doom etc... Just fine
Just Google "Dingoonity forum RS-97" for more info
I will check it out!
HPZeta I'm getting one to mod today, first non Nintendo modding project! Is it pretty simple?
morgan powers it's very simple to mod , bassically just replacing the internal SD-card with a new one that you wrote the dingux firmware to :)
HPZeta ok awesome;
Looks interesting but I guess I will stick with my psp slim for retro gaming.
I really like your videos
Thank you!
love the design
Hahaha I loved when you got 3 all playing the same music.
They put effort for the model but they copy the Bitboy
soon you are gonna be swimming in these clones like Scrooge McDuck and his money bin.
I need to give some away!
Hey Elliot, I'm from England too!
Keep the great content coming!
Oh man, they just keep making those 😧
I don't care if it's illegal or not, is there one out there with the real Mario games?
Thanks for this i was about to buy one on ebay but decided aginst it. I want to play actual nintendo games on something like this. Saved time with this review.
Retro hack dude reviewed 5 of these types of handhelds but I still would love a pi zero dmg gameboy anyday.
Unnecessarily long video
Thanks!
I respectfully disagree. Some of us love long videos if the person is talking about something interesting in an engaging way.
Ritupan Hazarika
Yeah I skipped all the padding at the beginning. UA-cam favors longer videos
Why not look at 10 things at once? Or learn to focus on something for more than 30 seconds, i know its hard these days 😒
I favour longer videos.
I really enjoy watching your videos but sometimes I feel like you’re just doing the same video over and over again.. like it’s always just unboxing the exact same emulation handled and they’re all basically the same thing
just got it today. i have 500 in 1 game version. it is a famiclone and i ,ike it. not bad quality. lot of good games to play with.
Been watching your vids for a few months now, and I love the reviews of the clone consoles and repair videos!
Thank you!
