I would've given up when I found out I had to unscrew the gameboy tbh
Just wait until you need to get around thinking of repairing current tablets and phones. Those things are glued together and the screens risk cracking when heated up. Then you begin to appreciate just how easy older tech is to repair.
@@skycloud4802 very interesting tho.
*In Yoda Accent* “That is why you fail!”
@@skycloud4802 as a phone technician I have to disagree with you. the new devices are smarter in term of built quality and smart design. It's just that some company make it harder to repair because they want you to buy their new phone.
Yeah i’m no tech wizard.
Never thought I'd see a journey greater than the Lords of the Rings trilogy, but here we are
haha thank you Stuart
indeed.
Hi Ashens. I saw you at comic con once
What's Lord of the Rings?
i grew up watching you ;_;
The PSP also had the "switch" feature which a lot of people don't know about. With a special a/v out cable it could display to a tv just like the switch.
That cable was amazing and I never knew people didn't know about it...even Metal Jesus Rocks had to educate the MJR crew about it
I had that cord for the 1000 model and it worked on the UI menu the screen was full but when you start a game the picture would shrink to like a small box in the center of the TV, I was super bummed.
I know there were two options, and one of them wouldn't let you play games on a tv screen, I think that was the AVI (yellow red white) version, if I remember correctly, and then the component cable version would let you, but you needed a tv that had component connections, which at the time was a bit rarer to see, At least for me anyway.
Sony needs to make a new portable 😢
@@JorgeTamezPhoto There are rumors now that they are, and I don't mean something like the controller with a screen in the middle either
One small correction, according to his memoir, Yokoi was planning to leave Nintendo anyway and prepared the Virtual Boy as a final product with the company. The systems failure actually caused him to stay at Nintendo longer than he had planned as he didn't want to look like he was leaving in shame.
Didn't he leave after the release of GBP, which was a massive success that he managed?
@@aleix.gimenezThe GBA, yes
What memoir? I wanna read it
So happy to see one FINALLY WORK!!! The time you put into this video was insane, I hope you get rewarded with lots of views. Very nicely done Elliot, beautifully edited, a thoroughly enjoyable watch.
Thank you so much Vince!!! Really appreciate all of your help.
Ayyyy it's the man with a plan. You and Stez have taught me a ton.
i knew it was you he was coming to see, and I knew it was definitely you, when I saw your uPVC windows you did the repair on.
obviously I watch too many of your videos lol.
I agree this was a brilliantly edited video too
Aaaay, cheers Vince
yeah forreal, i rarely watch youtube but i watched the original video he posted for those, glad to see this one works.
the production value on this one is **chef’s kiss**
You are commenting on the production of ....a youtube video... lol
It was incredibly annoying. This guy really loves his own nauseating face. Also, People were hooking up their gameboys to TVs for years before this device, also playing gameboy games through Pokemon Stadium, this guy's a blowhard.
@@RobertBoston-n4d yeah, because it’s really good. What are you trying to say lmfao
12:01 "am I gay?" 😭
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who heard that 😅😂
Fingers crossed. ❤
I think this is what they call foreshadowing 😅
@@YoureUsingWordsIncorrectly the fact that vince has a wife and 2 kids just makes it even funnier
Easter egg 😌
Elliot this video is too good. Love how you turned what would have been a video about a janky ribbon cable into a full doc. 20 mins went by so fast, all the experimentation on your videos for the past few months were well worth it!
What an amazing comment. Seriously appreciate that, thanks a lot! I was just fed up of the simple table review videos i was doing.
i dont know if it's a "stolen idea" as much as it is a "refined concept"
Ok, so hear me out. Part 2: You and Vince use PCBWay to manufacture a brand new ribbon cable to replace the bad ones. Sendico sends you both to Japan to buy more of these kits and replace the ribbon cables, and Tito from Macho Nacho makes a tutorial video about it.
Right? At about 15:00 I realized "this is going to end up an ad for PCBWay."
Gunpei Yokoi didn’t leave because of the Virtual Boy’s failure, he had already been slated to leave and start a job with another company before the Virtual Boy released and failed. Unfortunately, he tragically died in a car accident before he could start his new job.
Actually, he did start a hardware development company after leaving Nintendo, he even worked on the Wonderswan for Bandai, although he did'nt see the its launch.
I think mentioning how many Wii users bought Skyward Sword is a little reductive without mentioning the context around it. It required an entirely new controller and thus was more expensive than usual, and it also came out at the very end of the Wii's life cycle.
And it still sold almost as well as A Link to the Past and The Wind Waker.
The video has plenty of assumptions that doesnt hold to critical thinking. The easiest way to debunk the Skyward Sword example is to point out the sells of Twilight Princess which at the time was the highest selling zelda game ever, even passing Ocarina of Time. More over look at the Skyward sales on Switch, even with a higher install base & with good sales momentum & more "accessible" controls the game sold similarly to the Wii version: 3.7 to 4 million
I think we can easily fix the other two ones by re-creating the ribbon cables and ordering them to be made.
This is an incredible investigation into the history of where the Switch came from. Big up to a fantastic effort by Vince! Love the new style of content!
Thank you so much for the incredible thumbnail!! I absolutely love it.
12:00 "am I gay?" Got me on the ground😂😂😂
Nintendo could probably print money if they came out with a Wii mini that has a few games baked in like Wii Sports and no disc drive for $50, I know nursing homes and mental hospitals would scoop them up like hotcakes lmao
Yep, same for Singaporean secondary schools or at least the one I attended, as back in 2011, the latter bought Wii consoles that students could book access to but they were only allowed to play Wii Sports.
Oh you mean pick them up for $350 when they're sold out and everyone is reselling theirs like they did with the NES and SNES Classic?
But seriously though, that'd be amazing. The SNES and NES Classics were amazing and I reckon Nintendo would do a great job with it.
That idea is reminiscent of those old plug-and-play consoles you used to find sitting in a Walmart for $20.
That will never happen just because of the filthy scalpers and despite how much I love modding that would put a big target over that little console for homebrew applications and eventually hacking it to install more Wii games so instead of nursing homes willing to buy them for elderly people it would be more like videogame collectors and tinkerers just getting another piece for their collections and another piece of hardware to play with, they are better just getting one used Wii from whatever second hand retailer they have nearby.
There was a wii mini with just the disc drive for $90 (no wifi, game cube ports, etc) or something
You could put the Wii Sports disc and leave it there forever
We need a whole documentary about Nintendo handheld consoles directed and narrated by Elliot. It would be a masterpiece.
You do know you can get a new ribbon cable made don't you ?
It's called a flexible PCB and you can get them done by some manufacturers like PCB way. Heck, you can even get them to sponsor your video as you restore those.
As a mechanical engineer who loves design, I feel that Nintendo may not have stolen the idea, rather they used a principle from the TRIZ 40. The TRIZ 40 are principles of design that can be used to edit a product to make it better. For example there is a principle called "Nested Doll" where you design an item to fit into another. This can be seen in the switch where you can dock it into a TV making it a nested doll. So really, I think that Nintendo engineers took different design elements to make the switch. They combined the home and handheld market to create one super market so that they could sell more units.
I mean, the concept of the switch is extremely simple, hence Sega, NEC, and Sony all tried it with the Nomad, TurboExpress, and PSP/Vita respectively. It's just that it was hard to do WELL in the past thanks to tech limitations. Like, the Nomad had 2 hours of battery life and for what it played it really wasn't worth that much more than a regular Game Gear or other handhelds. And even with better battery life, being portable required limitations to controls and hardware that 20 years later weren't really necessary.
That said, I would honestly say the switch is hardly portable, but that's just may personal hot take on the subject. But yeah, less "theft" and more "building upon the past".
Cos this video is clickbait.
Bit of a tangential question, but what would you say are the odds that they explicitly consulted/were aware of the TRIZ 40 vs converging on the concept of a nested doll design independent of it?
I don't know how popular that list is in the area of console design (like I don't know if consulting it is pretty standard practice or not), so thought I'd ask.
@@warbossgegguz679 The widespread wireless internet infrastructure wasn't really there for the psp/vita when it realeased either, as well as battery life and storage capacity. I would also agree that the switch is a home console that happens to be portable, not a portable or a handheld system. I'll take the switch to someone's house, but I dont keep it on me like a 3ds or psp, due to both size and style. There's really not much to do or show off on a switch besides games like there was with the other two.

I've used IDE and Ultra IDE cables in the past to do repairs similar to this. I obviously don't know if it will work but I cut the end of the ribbon cable, solder the strands to it and it looks like the other side is a board so obviously solder the other end to the board. IDE cables are bendable and flexible but I don't know how much room you have. I like them because you can just strip off the wires you don't need. Like if it has 40 wires and you need 30, you can just pull off 10 of them and the wires all stay together.
Elliot has done a ribbon cable extension for the triple screen ds. I am sure he has some reasons why not doing this here, but it‘d muddy the story of the video
I like your other videos but this type of videos is what will really boost your channel.
Keep it up!
"am I gay?" 😂😂
He’s too cute to be attracted just to one gender that’s why. 🎉
Yes congrats
So random 😂😂😂
Lol wtf
Loved this video. Your humour is so good. Almost choked when you opened the case for Vince, with a curly wurly in there, and I was thinking "oh that's nice, a little chocolate as a thankyou" only to see you eating it whilst watching on in the next shot 🤣
Surprised you didn't replace the ribbon cable (with a similar style) or just solder new wires instead. Not sure how feasible that would be. Great content anyway! 😄
the idea behind the switch is not only it being nomad, it's the joycins who can clip to the console or play remotely and even look like 2 controllers
Norman Caruso the Gaming Historian has done a video on this before it was part of his third party gameboy players video quite a while ago.
I knew I had seen this device before!
Of all my years watching Elliot's videos, I can say, this is the best video that represents him; Nintendo, refurbish/repairing, weird old item, not giving up and funny af. What a roller coaster of a video 👏🏼
This was a great video! Also excited to see Vince helping you out. You guys should do more collabs. Does this mean he is still the Switch Killer?
That was a wild ride, LETS DO IT AGAIN!
I shall!
Switch is basically a culmination of a lot of ideas from many prior devices. Stolen is a bit harsh, maybe borrowed is more apt.
Razer Edge from 2012 was a portable gaming PC with 2 removeable controllers, one joystick controller from each side. It won many awards at its introduction at CES 2012. It was unrefined, bulky, and too expensive and never went anywhere when it was launched in 2013. If anyone from Nintendo was paying attention, they would have gotten a lot of inspiration from the Razer Edge. 2012/2013 would have been about the time when development on the Switch would have started.
I think the big thing to take away is less the idea that stole the idea (which is pretty much true), but they couldn't innovate the thing themselves. They are given praise for doing this innovation, that after learning this, I don't think they fully deserve.
The title could have been "the first nintendo switch" but i get that a "stolen idea" will get more views lmao
That scene with Vince working to repair the ribbon cable was something else, that was the ending I was hoping would be the conclusion. I am not good with any of this kind of stuff, but that inspired me, so much respect to him. I am going to check his channel out, I do watch this kind of stuff often even if I don't practice the art of it. Great video, to both of you, made my heart beat. I often wonder how Nintendo feels about hardware mods on old consoles, to me it is so wonderful, beautiful. I love all of it! I am always on the verge of doing it myself also.
No videos in two months? Hope you're doing ok Elliott?
He still posts frequently on his second account :)
@S.J.C._Entertainment Just a bit strange that he's ignored this channel for 3 months now.
This was like watching a netflix documentary, its amazing.
Did they spill gasoline on their drawing board?!
That ribbon cable fix was awe inspiring - the was some next level repair work - shame it didn’t pan out. Great video!
You couldve made your own wire harness from the connectos that had the torn ribbon cable, it wouldnt have lookg great, but its a far cheaper test to do than buying a third kit.
The Switch didn't 'save' Nintendo.
They always sell their consoles at a profit unlike their competition. Even though the Wii U failed, the Wii and DS were immensely successful and the 3DS did just fine.
I have no idea why people want to say a company is about to fail just because they've had an unsuccessful product launch.
And let's not forget, Nintendo game sales are even more important than console sales and they have FAR higher attach rates than other consoles.
You sort of imply that game sales weren't high on the Wii, which is CRAZY .
this video is pure bananas, love the whole trip and fix. also fixing a ribbon cable... holy heck
also mind if i ask but i always thought that the real idea for the switch was the PSPgo with their idea for the dock and all, but apparently SEGA was the first one, never heard of that
Yakoi did not leave because of the virtual boy. He was thinking about leaving Nintendo and wanted to do one more thing before he left. We know what happened and not wanting to leave with his last product being a flop, he made the GameBoy Pocket another to keep his legacy intact.

0:01 Please do not ever hold it like that again.
I was in the USA when this was released and I had one of these. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Have not seen one of these in forever.
You, or someone, could re-design the ribbon cable and send it to one of these pcb companies to save these kits
wasn't expecting this to turn into a retro restoration video like that guy who rescued somebody's blastoise off an old pokemon game. good comedy too. good subscription uwu
I would've loved to have a chance at repairing that ribbon 👀
My mate Vince is life 👑🙏
Awesome video 😁
Remember the "Super GameBoy"? It was an adapter cartridge that would let you play GameBoy games on your Super NES, back in the 90's.
Also, the Gamecube had the GameBoy player which allowed you to do the same thing, but with GameBoy Advance games.
The super Gameboy also predates the nomad. And you could also use the Pokemon games on the N64.
So it's not like Nintendo didn't have a history of it. I don't agree with him at all saying they stole the idea .
6:58 I miss the gaming historian. maybe i will go rewatch the nomad video just because.
Dude sorry but, I clicked on this vid to see some facts about what idea Nintendo has stolen.. but mid video you just went lost on a sidequest to play Gameboy Advance Games on a TV.. great effort and everything, but kinda not what I hoped to see
The guy who was in charge of the virtual boy didn't leave because of the virtual boy and didn't even leave after its failure. He wanted to leave after the game boy project ended. The virtual boy was gonna be his way to leave with a bang, but after its failure he felt shame/dishonor leaving with such a bad outcome that he left after the next project gbc.
Sensationalist garbage. "Hey look, someone else tried to tackle the same market issue that the switch did! No it doesn't matter that it's a different execution! They stole it! Also, look at this TV! I am the first person to ever acknowledge its existence ever! Nintendo stole, Nintendo bad!"
Nintendo is a burning dumpster fire of a company that has interesting stories to talk about, and you could've made a video on... literally anything else. I thought this was a video about genuine corporate espionage and I watched it hoping it would be but this was just... a waste of 8 minutes of my life
you sound like such a baby
@@wildpineapple7784 but what if it's true?
Just gotta love the moral of the story "don't give up"
Immediately dies "I'm giving up"
Maybe the best The Retro Future video ever, felt like I just watched a feature length documentary
Gunpei Yokoi single-handedly saved Nintendo. Gameboy and Nintendo DS sales kept them afloat while they were declining in home consoles, and the Switch saved them when they were on the verge of utter collapse after the Wii U.
Tbh if the girl at work never told me about switch, I wouldnt be getting it.
She was never a gamer but saw the ad on tv. I never watch tv so yeah haha. She told me about it then i searched it afterwork then preordered ir. It came out about 3 days and I loved it and went back to gaming
Love this video! I love the style of the first half and then you settle into a classic Retro Future format. Glad to see you’re posting videos more frequently again. See you on the next live stream mate!
The video quality/production is better and better every time I come back to this channel!! 🤯 I absolutely love the journey here and being the first video on the “TV de Advanced” is so cool really appreciate this video 🙏
It's funny you should mention the Virtual Boy in a video where ribbon cables were the problem. The eyepieces in the VB had ribbon cables held onto the mainboard with GLUE. The glue wears out over time, and at this point basically every VB is broken. Luckily there are people who can solder the cable directly onto the board and provide services where you can send your VB to them and they'll fix them.... So that's how I now have a working Virtual Boy.
I was working my first real job, at a game store, when the Virtual Boy came out. Everyone hated it. I don't think we sold one.
It didn't give ALL children of the 90s extreme migraines.
Only a few here and there.
It was mostly kids with pre-existing conditions.
The "harm" the VB did was blown out of proportion.
I should know, i was there and i had a VB.
i like how after that crazy hurdle, finally getting a working model, etc, you use it to play mario world, an snes game
FINALLY I CAN PLAY MARIO WORLD ON A TV!!
The fact that you went through all that just to make a video is crazy that's some serious dedication
The most ambitious crossover
You know, you can order custom ribbon cables online by the people who make PCBs, and advertise them on UA-cam channels. They offer flexible PCB, usually Kapton high-temperature plastic, alongside normal PCBs. You'd just need someone skilled to maybe scan the original in and clean it up a bit into a format you can send off over the Internet. You could even start charging a ton of money to the other few people daft enough to pay for these gadgets. You'd be recovering hundreds of pounds of value, maybe even offer to do the conversion yourself for customers.
Wow it's like budget Harry Potter had a baby with John Oliver
I've never seen the face of MyMateVince before
Gunpei Yokoi leaving because of the virtual boy is actually a myth! He left so he could have more creative freedom to make other things.
The Super Game Boy basically did all of this in a different form factor. Accusing anyone of “stealing” an idea is a bit exaggerated.
The moral is: "everybody loves Vince!"
Repairing a ribbon cable looks like performing surgery
Haven't watched the Retro Future in a while. Glad I popped in, what an awesome ride of a video! Keep it up Elliot.
They've had and debated within the company about releasing these things since the Gameboy, and even did release a Gameboy SNES cartringe adapter as the original GB Color. So your history is off a bit.
The Virtual Boy's main problem was using a tile-mapped display and underpowered CPU, with a virtual-reality display. Also the "VR" didn't have movement sensors but that wasn't the critical thing. The critical thing is that tile-maps meant everything was animated like paper cutouts. Flat sprites and objects in layers. Like one of those Victorian toy theatres with the slots in the stage, that you slid characters back and forth with. It was a 2.5D system even with genuine stereoscopic hardware.
You notice it at first, then soon realise that EVERY GAME is like that! Except Red Alarm. There are layers of flat objects only, not real 3D. Red Alarm is the exception, genuine 3D polygons, except they're only wireframe, with a pathetic draw rate. Computers like the Atari ST and even Megadrive did polygons better than a "3D" system.
The display NEEDED to have been bitmapped, and it NEEDED enough CPU power to draw polygons. Even if it couldn't texture-map them (and a bit more development might have given it a primitive texture unit, even if not as good as the PS1's). They could at least have given it multiplier hardware so it could draw lines quickly and maybe flat-shaded polygons.
Next, it needed more than 4 colours! The brightness option in games shows that the screen can do many more shades. It's limited to 4 because that's all the palette supports. Having more colour depth would have required more screen memory, and potentially more CPU power. Although again, proper hardware design could have limited that, like an option to switch which bitplanes were written to simultaneously. A Blitter, too, maybe. Could have helped tons.
The screen was the only bit of it that was any good! Crippled by an actual system that didn't have a tenth the power it needed. Whether that's down to battery life... it shouldn't be, the system isn't portable anyway, why would you need to run it on batteries? You need a fuckin' desk and chair to use it! Using it in-car is a likely prelude to puking, so at home is about the only practical place. That's fine, other consoles run off the mains. Such a mess! Poor Gunpei! It could have been so much more.
Also... if it were me I might have used yellow or amber LEDs, even green, rather than red. Would have cost just a little bit more but been much nicer to look at.
In all my years, I have only repaired a ribbon cable once and that was it and that was because I got lucky and it was torn in just a way that with my very limited skills I was able to repair it. I’ve never been successful again. It’s hard. Very very hard.
I kept trying to change the video quality without results. It was a wii comercial. I tried to up the quality on an old wii comercial.
Using this strange logic, I’d better call all car manufacturers other than Ford and tell them they stole an idea.
Its absoultely mind-blowing that the wii U only sold 14 million units. Like I knew it was a flop but damn
I hate to be That Guy, but some corrections about Gunpei Yokoi:
1. While he did come up with the Virtual Boy as we know it, the technology used to create the VB was actually bought by Nintendo from a Massachusetts-based tech company called Reflection Tech.
2. Gunpei was always a toy maker first, and _always_ saw the Virtual Boy as more of a novelty than a full-blown console. He wanted it to be used more like a Game & Watch than a SNES, but Nintendo insisted they release it to compete with Sony's PS1.
3. The VB was released in an unfinished state. Basically a prototype.
4. Gunpei did not leave Nintendo because of the failure of the VB. He and other Nintendo reps have clarified that it was _always_ his intention to leave and start his own company after helping with the Game Boy Pocket hardware. The failure of the VB coinciding with his departure was just a coincidence.
👍
Found you form Jack, this video is actually really good
Great video Elliot!!! To be fair, a version of the Supervision came with a tv out cable thingy, so that you can play on tv, just like the nomad, so maybe the idea is even older than that :D
OH COME ON you made watch all that for the SEGA NOMAD
Holy hells, my guy! that was a wild ride, and I sat through all twenty minutes and fifteen seconds of it!
Great story, fun presentation, editing absolutely smacks. Looking forward to more!
0:57 It is a total myth that Gunpei Yokoi left Nintendo because of the Virtual Boy. I am so sick of lazy UA-camrs parroting this BS. Here are the facts from the man himself in an article he wrote for the November 1996 issue of Japanese magazine Bungeishunju:
“Actually, I didn’t leave for the reason of ‘taking responsibility for the failure of the Virtual Boy. Since before, I’ve thought about becoming independent after turning 55. That’s why I don’t have any hate or ill will towards Nintendo.”
Before the Game and Watch’s release, apparently Nintendo had 7-8 billion yen in borrowed money, but due to the Game and Watch’s success, they not only paid back in full, but also earned another 4 billion on top of that. President Hiroshi Yamauchi then took all of that and threw it all into Famicom investment. This sort of leading why Yokoi thinks that Yamauchi’s one-man style of leading Nintendo is how Nintendo got to be so big.
Yokoi decided to leave Nintendo as Nintendo started to increase in size and had more responsibility towards shareholders. Nintendo couldn’t continue to create ‘niche market’ playthings that didn’t at least match the Super Famicom and Game Boy, which were the two large pillars. As such, Yokoi felt that the point of him being at Nintendo was decreasing. In other words, he wanted to keep creating ideas, and continue making toys.
“I wanted to continue to tweak the ‘niche toy’ ideas that were part of the founding spirit of Nintendo - this was the only reason for my departure.”
Great info! thank you.
@@TheRetroFuture You're welcome - sorry if I came across badly in my comment.
wait until he finds out about the gameboy player on gamecube
Theres an even older "nintendo" switch. In the early 90s an NES handheld called the express was developed by an american manufacturer. The handheld, called the express, was never released though. The express was able to play NES cartridges and connect to your TV, making it the first "nintendo" switch.
Gaming historian has a video about it
That’s not at all what I imagined Vince to look in my head.
Vince could have just used wires instead of repairing the ribbon cable. But Vince is dope, he wouldn't do something so janky.
It's awesome that you got a new one and it works, but so disappointing that none of the old ones were repairable. Perhaps one day you may be ready
17:00 REPAIRING A TEAR IN A RIBBON CABLE?!?!?! I've wasted so much money on mods because of accidentally torn ribbon cables. To the point where if I'm watching a mod assembly and I hear "be careful with these ribbon cables" it's suddenly a deal breaker and I try and find an alternative.
I imagine it would look fine with the svideo connected to a CRT.
Hello there, you need to make a in depth video about this, with a tear down and close-up of the boards, chips used and that sort of thing, this is something i never heard off!! I need more info, more videos about it!
The "am I gay?" at 12:01 made me cackle in the middle of my cubicle farm office. So, thanks for that.
It’s seriously so sad they stoped production on ds I has so many memories with that😢
name of the video: how stolen idea saved nintendo
half of the video: fixing some tat crap that "nintendo stole idea from" lmao. keep up the good work
The idea of the switch wasnt what was shocking, even a child couldve imagined it, itwas the fact it could be executed with such a powerful handheld what was shocking furthermore nintendo thought of the capability of the joycons being able to be used as two controllers
amazing video, mixing documentary with your normal console related content is a really cool ideia!
This video just kept getting better and better. You’ve come a long way since game boy mod videos Elliot. Bravo.
You could probably manufacture new ribbons for those with PCBWay i guess?
imagine if your local repair shop made a 20 minute doc every time they had to diagnose something..... I work at one and thoroughly enjoyed this video despite it being basically my normal everyday as a soldering technician, always use jumpers when repairing a flex like that though, cmon.
Production level, pace and humor are top notch!!! Great job Elliot!
Thanks a ton!
From what I can understand, AGB-001 has the 32-pin and 40-pin connectors. Maybe the problem lies there since you somehow got a revision on the new one.
12:34 - The guy in the background watching you destroy your clutch. hahaha
