    The GB Interceptor isn't really capturing video, it's actually dumping the ROM and is running it in an emulator that receives the exact same input as the real GB and sends that video feed to USB. It's a pretty cool concept, but at that point, it's not really doing anything more then the GB Operator or similar, while not being able to dump saves, play GBC / GBA games and isn't actually working with every games.

    It looks like your portable PS2 ended up that huge cause they really waned to fit the large screen on it. Most I have seen use a screen about the size of the GC version you bought so you can actually hold it.

    • @TrexelCat
      @TrexelCat 7 місяців тому +5

      There's also the fact that it appears to use the actual motherboard from a PS2 Slim. Modified to remove the DVD Drive and hardware. The portable PS2 appears to be about the same size, or slightly smaller in surface area to a PS2 Slim. The larger monitor is probably just to take up the blank surface real-estate that would be caused by using a smaller one like what what was used in the GameCube. Using real hardware(the "hack" just allows the PS2 to run games without the DVD Drive, its still real hardware), you really aren't going to get much smaller than that. The only way to make it smaller would be to make it an emulator, like a handheld retro-pi.
      Fun fact: The software they opted to use for the "hack" is actually stored on the Memory Card. I use Free MCBoot on my PS2 to play homebrew PS2 games. Which means, the modified memory card that comes with this device can be plugged into any PS2 and it will run the same way. Also means that when that memory card is removed, the PS2 will revert to normal functionality. It uses a modified "system" save to trick the PS2 into skipping it's security anti-piracy checks intended to ensure that only legal legitimate games are played on the system. Forcing it to load a modified firmware that has been altered. It was a vulnerability in the PS2 because when it first starts up, it checks the memory card for the system file, and sets itself according to the information found there. Normally that file is written by the PS2 itself, so the PS2 just looks at it, goes "everything is good" and little to nothing happens. The people who made Free MCBoot found a way to inject their own system save onto a memory card. And because the PS2 doesn't question the legitimacy of the "system" save on a memory card, it just reads it and continues on as it was told to by the save.
