I can't believe it didn't work!
👍
Hi Nathaniel Bandy
Aint you nathaniel b?
Nathaniel Bandy! Hi!
Homie bandy still better 💯 times then bbq here.
Important to note that GBA carts run at 3.3V whereas GB/GBC carts run at 5V. Doing this could damage the cartridge, but it's a rare occurrence.
Aren't Game Boy Color cartridges unplayable on Game Boy Classic and Game Boy Pocket? I thought the cartridge and label should have indicated that. I know Game Boy Classic games can also be played on Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color game can also be played on Game Boy Advance, because the later Game Boy machines play any cartridge that the earlier Game Boy machines can play.
"rare" occurrence... i c what u did there
@@bennel3588 Gameboy Color is like an extended version of the original. There are games that work on both (meaning you they're colorized on GBC but still play on the older models) and there are GBC exclusive titles. The GBC exclusive ones still had to have an error screen if you put them in a GB Pocket for example. GBA games are completely different however, which is why the guy making the video had to put the circuit board in a different shell to plug it in at all.
@@bennel3588 Gameboy color games come in 2 types: Hybrid (black cartridge) and GBC only (clear, usually).
The black ones will play fine in an original gameboy but will have color features that only work on the GBC
@@Zenoff64 I wonder if Pokemon Yellow, Gold, and Silver Version count as Game Boy Color games. Yellow Version is yellow, Gold Version is sparkly gold, Silver Version is sparkly silver, and Crystal Version is sparkly blue. The pokemon games matched what color was mentioned. From what I see, it was stopped for Nintendo DS and after that.
gotta love rectangle simulator
Just you wait until the triangle simulator of 2024. They cancelled circle simulator in 2012.
I liked square simulator better
Ever tried polygon simulator, I don't recommend it. It's very disorienting to look at for too long.
Project Rectangle Strategy
@@thesupervideogamenerdmore3171Circle Simulator was too violent. Alot of parents complained. 😩
now lets try fitting a n64 game into a snes
@@zyxeyIt's impossible to fit one in a Gamecube and you wouldn't even be able to close it
It's almost as if they were made for different hardware...we must investigate further!
not like ds games fit in 3ds 🤡
@@FreezyOHThe 3DS is newer than the DS and has backwards compatibility, the Game Boy is older than the Game Boy Advance and therefore cannot have backwards compatibility, the Game Boy Advance on the other hand has backwards compatibility for Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.
the gameboy doesn't recognize it as a game at all
@Der Bettnässer oh ok, that makes sense. i thought the gameboy simply didn't recognize the code
@@TheBester7 To be fair the gb didn't even try to launch the game, it checked the header (first lines of code) and as it's not a correct gb header it doesn't start
@@Ripototo ok. that's kinda what i was thinking
Both are correct also if the code and Tom header would work the game would crash imiditly beacose of memory corruption cause beacose gbc/gb has less memory than GBA
@@Marssel56 Yeah even with a correct header the program would have crashed instantly after the logo, gba & gb/gbc architectures are just not the same at allL
Right before I watched this video, I'd knew it wouldn't work.
No shit Sherlock
Twenty years before I watched this video, I knew the same.
the pins are compatible, however the gb/gbc and gba use different voltages in the cart slot and the gba has a switch that the original gameboy carts hit that changes the voltage and allows the gb/gbc carts to play on the gba
yea gba carts use 3.3v and
no way another wild sweetypuss
I've tried this, you can't even fit the gba cartridge over the pin connecters if you take the back shell off
I actually did this as a kid with my brother.
It was my birthday and I got Pokemon Ruby. We didn't know this was for a whole other system so we desperately tried to get it to work before my mom came in and said "we made a mistake, we gonna go buy you the new gameboy for it so you can play."
Bless that woman. She is not dead but my god bless that woman.
Heads up, that Donkey Kong Country 2 is most likely fake due to the weird black spot on the board.
Yeah, was pissed when I found out my copy of Kirby's nightmare in Dreamland was fake.
For reference, that "black spot" is a cheap alternative to an actual IC package like a DIP or QFP. I don't know if I've ever seen it used outside of trash electronics. I'd guess in the case of bootleg carts, the actual packages you see are cheap off-the-shelf components, with the epoxy blobs being custom logic, cutting down on the cost of getting custom packaged ICs made.
@@TetrisMaster512 Some original Tetris carts and other really old carts for Gameboy have that dot, but any games for the Gameboy Advance shouldn't have it.
I wonder if my Pokemon LeafGreen Version game had that, because I did have a pirated version, and there was no wonder it was acting funky on me. There were some changes, like the drink to give to the guards, and the legendary beasts using the same theme as legendary birds, and it made me think the beasts were the same as the birds, and when some genius that had the true version knew it was fan-made, it made sense, and after realizing the theme was supposed to be different, I started to know they were different.
also the "gameboy advance" lettering font is thin.
I put Crystal in a Gameboy Pocket and it said in Unown "Please Play this game on a Gameboy Color."
You can run it on a Gameboy pocket with a GameShark cheat but it crashes after you load the file.
You don’t need safety glasses to unscrew a gameboy game
That’s the joke
My chemistry teacher be like
Game boy pocket: What the hell is this cartridge?
This not only doesn't work, but both consoles use different voltages. The Gameboy runs entirely off 5v logic, while the GBA uses 3.3v logic. The GBA system however is dual voltage, as it switches between 3.3v and 5v depending on what cartridge is plugged in. It's part of the GB/GBC backwards compatibility feature, which is controlled by a physical switch in the cartridge slot.
To quote the kids I grew up with: "No shit, Sherlock!"
That black rectangle hit a nostalgia nerve
More importantly, that custom case gba collection is amazing
Thank you for looking into this world ending concern! Without you taking this massive risk and endangering your eyes by using a screwdriver on a screw, we now all know the impossible! You are truly a Wizard King for making this discovery! Now, can you please look into the question of what happens if you take a long walk off a short bridge, oh King of Kings??
lmao
This gives me vibes of parents buying Super NES games for their kid’s NES expecting it to work and then being angry when it doesn’t
Me trying finding answers to interesting childhood questions: “To satisfy the child in me”
One is mario and on is luigi
Now that’s what I call Forwards Compatibility!
As a kid this was something I always wanted to try. I can now die in peace 😊
Same, haha!
Makes sense. If you tried playing a PS2 game on a PS1 nothing would happen either.
If it was a DVD PS2 game, that makes sense, since it literally couldn't read it, but some early PS2 games were pressed on CDs, so you'd think they would have included some fun code saying to play it on a PS2.
*puts on glasses* "Safety first" *burns down your house*
...and knowing is half the battle!
Since the GBA is more “advanced” and passed the regular Gameboy’s peak, that there alone would tell us that the GB won’t recognize GBA games at all.
Actually You did a perfect loop that doesn't exi-
Wait-
**SAFETY FIRSTING INTENSIFIES**
Well of course it didn't work, the architecture is completely different (different CPU, different video hardware, different memory and so on). Amd plus the carts for GBA use 3.3v while the Gameboy uses 5v, its a wonder how you didn't fry everything.
Almost like it never was going to work! 🤯🤯🤯
Ok but that GBA cartridge fitted well.
Gameboy: *lowers single rectangle and freezes*
Tetris: *Hold my beer*
Game Boy: *lowers single rectangle and freezes*
Tetris: *Hold my beer*
DKC best platformers for sure
Look, you’re positively get a rick roll
The fact someone really made a video of this is crazy
some people are dumber than you give them credit for.
Logic
You probably shouldn't do this if you value your cartridges. Game Boy games run on 5v, but Game Boy Advance games run on 3.3v. Putting the GBA game into a Pocket is a good way to kill the cart.
That DKC2 cartridge is fake so nothing of value was lost
but he still managed to play it, so it's actually a real playable game@@Slayermetallica69
"What happens if you put a ps5 game into a DVD player?"
What did you expect? Different binary code.
The GB uses a Z80 CPU, the GBA uses an ARM one. Hence, it didn't work.
I mean, if I recall correctly the original GameBoy and the GBA run completely different CPU architectures even.
GB carts work at 5 V, GBA carts at 3.3 V, so of course a GBA cart doesn't work in a GB, it's not even able to display an error message. GBAs have a mechanical switch to select the correct voltage based on the game's case form, btw.
Well even if the voltages was correct, it still wouldn't have worked as the architecture is completely different.
@@madmax2069 Since execution starts at 0x100 for the GB and 0 for the GBA, it would be possible to jump to a SM83 routine that does something (like displaying an error message) if you provided the Nintendo logo data in the right memory locations so the Gameboy would actually try to boot your game.
Bro is the game version of
Sid from toy story💀
Nico can you make a video on if you can play gbc games in a gb
Nintendo actually thought of this when designing GBC carts! Most of them will just give you an error message saying the game will only wprk on a GBC console.
Thought this was Scott the woz for a second
Woah, really? Never could’ve guessed!
"One is tall and one is short" you really gonna call me out like that?
I used to cut the tabs off the side to put them in my Gameboy to SNES conversion cartridge and that did work, so do that on another video if you want 😂
Ok, but what's so funny?
Conversion adapters patch the Antipiracy code to enable them to play
When I was little, I hoped and dreamed that putting a standard music CD into the Sega CD would play some secret music video or something...
If I recall, some Sega CD games could be played in a CD player as the game's OST, which is cool enough, but unfortunately it didn't work the reverse way...
😅
"let's find out what happens if I put gas in my electric car"
Can you believe it didn't work!?
needed safety goggles to unscrew two screws.
You don't use ppe with your basic hand tools?! 😱
It didn't work because you forgot to blow on it.
Well atleast you did not get rickrolled like 1980sgamer guy
That’s like throwing a hot dog down a hallway
I just wanna know where you got those sick game boy, advance cases
They look like audio cassette boxes to me, so my guess is he custom-made them.
"We got a problem one is tall and one is short".. That's what she said.
The GB has a validation inside the console that the initial gameboy screen logo needs to be exactly the same as the one included when boot a rom up, otherwise it will not boot the game and it will show this black rectangle instead of the logo, since the gba games don't have them even if it somehow tried to load the game it would not go after this validation.
Extra information on that. It came from the fact that nintendo couldn't ask for copyrights of the game since it has no info from nintendo inside, but if the nintendo logo was inside of the cartridge it means nintendo approved and if it wasn't (a fake game for example) nintendo could sue asking for copyright usage
What happens if you put a FAKE GBA game.... :D
Anybody could have told u it was not going to work
Anyone else’s remember nicobbq’s older videos? Glad to see he’s still growing strong.
this video was pointless
Bros gonna put on safety goggles for cutting a fucking Apple 💀
The reason why this happens is because of the anti piracy
The Nintendo logo that you see on boot is stored at a specific address on the ROM
Your game boy checks for the Nintendo logo, displays it, then checks it against one stored on console. If they match, the game loads
I’m glad that you didn’t circumcised the GBA game like you did to the 3DS game.
Next you should find out what happens when you stick a square peg in a round hole
I really like the custom gba cases, where would you find them at?
It's like trying to put a ps2 disc in a ps1 and expecting it to work. I'm gonna guess that there are things in GBA games that the gb or gbc just doesn't know what to do with.
Fai attenzione...Nintendo subcerte cose è estremamente furba!
Probabilmente a suo tempo, ha trovato un escamotage per aggiungere solo il colore ai giochi, il resto tutto su cartuccia!
Ma hardware invariato, permettendole di guadagnare soldi a palate
I think nothing is always going to be the answer
I like how nobody here has heard of curiosity...
I remember as a kid wondering but being terrified of accidentally getting a cartridge stuck in there.
I’m assuming the GBcolor cartridge has more coding that the OG Gameboy couldn’t process.
takes out a sharp knife, tweezers, and a drill
"Safety first!"
puts on goggles
Nico becomes plain rock
I love Downwardly Moving Rectangle! It's my favorite video game!
Dubadubaduba is that true, yeah
Pose for the fans!
well who would have thought of that
It's exeptionnal that GBA games works on the 1st Gameboy, but there is no color
Did anyone ever ask this question and really not know the answer? I just can’t comprehend that this video even exists. You should make a video about what happens when you put a toaster in a bathtub filled with water while you are sitting inside it. That’s a question people are asking.
Anybody else try to put a ds game into the sd card slot of your wii when you were a kid?
Common sense would dictate that it wouldn’t work… but that’s bot very common nowadays
I put Street Fighter Alpha in my Gameboy Pocket and turned the device on, my gameboy said: "This device has no colors, it won't play this game"
Not sure what you expected lol
McBane: arghh... de goggles... they do nathin!
When he say safety first i remember plainrock124
Well, its what happens when you try to run ARM code on the gamboys weird hybrid CPU.
"That was a little bit dumb" No shit.
What a way to fry a cartridge.
Forget about what happens I wanna know more about those game boy game cases never seen them before
What would happen if you did the opposite -game boy cartridge in a game boy advance?
"But remember, safety first"
Omg is the invencible glases!!!!!, imposible to cut your hand off with those on XD
What happens when you put a GBA game in a Gameboy? Absolutely nothing, thanks captain obvious.
This is almost as shocking as when i tried to see if my n64 game worked on a ps1
cursed game boy start up
Next: can a dvd run on a floppy drive?
Love how you use cassete cases to store your gba games
"That was a bit dumb"
Indeed it was ^^ But at least we know it doesn't work.
waste of time
I'll assume you know the gba pcb is bootleg?
Came here to post this! Definitely a counterfeit bootleg cartridge.
