A neat mod to this design would be a built-in tri-chromatic filter wheel, so you can take color photos without needing to remove the lens for each photo, you just spin the wheel to each lens color.
@@simplyalonso the tricolor filter can at least triple the palette size from 4 to 12. That's a pretty decent jump considering I typically work within a range of 6-16 colors in my own art
@@AdamsBrew78 I thought the point was to see what happens when you use a modern camera with the Game Boy Camera cartridge. You know, for science. I *still* want to see someone make this video.
Its also more functional than he might have realised. Just try taking a photo of somebody with sunglasses on without an IR sensor/with the OG hardware. You can see straight through to their eyes. Whether that’s a bug or feature is personal preference though.
IR filter will prevent overexposure issue when taking pictures outside (giving you more control over the contrast and brightness) since the camera sensor is also sensitive to invisible IR rays.
I bought my first GameBoy Camera this decade. Late to the party I know, but I love the absurdity of the thing, and upgrades like this make that even better!
If you want selfie-mode, or smaller/cheaper ways to upgrade the shell, there's a bunch of 3D-print files available from the Game Boy Camera modding community.
Considering a lot of the vintage advertising featured selfie mode (seemed to feature some fun animations, etc.), losing that feature could be a big downside to some people.
@@coochie8670 golly why didn't I think of that. You think the people who are using these Gameboy cameras for photography might have a reason to do that other than using their phone
I'm pretty sure that most older security cameras use CS mount lenses. I have a couple old cameras that I snagged as they were being tossed out that happen to have lenses on them. I knew there would be some actual reason for me to grab these things. I don't remember the specs but I imagine the lenses I have are pretty wide. Sick mod, never thought I'd see such a thing.
Aperture is not just controlling the exposure, it’s also controlling the depth of field. That is, how much is in focus when taking a picture or recording video. Just thought I’d share that.
First off, congratulations on your new studio! I'd be interested in a video tour of it, if it's in the cards. Now to the topic at hand, it's pretty cool to see the Gameboy Camera getting interchangeable lenses. It makes it look and feel more like something a pro photographer would use.
I loved my GameBoy Camera as a kid.. I used my GB Color to take a lot of pictures as well as playing the little games that were built in. It eventually became full because I had vacation photos as well as pictures of relatives that have since passed that I guarded carefully. I'm so thankful for the modding community for allowing me a way to preserve my old GB photos to PC! I'm going to have to give this mod a try. What a nice way to breath new life into something so limited.
They could make a lens that lets you rotate between red, green and blue filters, to take 3 color pictures that can be combined into a single RGB picture! EDIT: Ah, you beat me to it. They could also make an Analogue Pocket-specific version that grabs onto the top for more support
Correcting the correction at 15:12: Open Source doesn't mean free. If he provides project files, even if at a cost, they are open source. Even in software, there is a distinction between open source software and FOSS (Free and Open Source Software).
Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with the new space! I enjoy the Gameboy Camera and have a lot of nostalgia for it, but I don't think I'll be doing this mod. I'm no photographer, and the quality doesn't look that improved to me... But then I have no eye for it, really, so what do I know? lol. Great video as always, Tito!
To be honest, it's always fun to take handheld consoles that have built in cameras (Much like what the DSI and 3DS did back in the late 2000s early 2010s did) to take weird photos or just photos that aren't great but something to archive. Sure the quality and look of it is not great, but the tech at that time just wasn't advanced yet and it gives it a much more retro feel, when Nintendo eventually brought the camera feature back on the DSi up into the 3DS's life cycle. Now if only there was this mod for the DSi and 3DS, and man, that would be sick.
See a lot of people praising this mod, all I see is a garbage quality photo and a very very slightly less garbage quality photo and all I can think is 'why'? I'm no artist or photographer so maybe I don't get it. Either way sort of neat that someone bothered I guess.
@@BriBCG well, I guess it's like a low tier art. You don't want these pictures to have 100% fidelity to real life. It's fun because they look what they look. The lack of information in these pictures allow you to look at them and wonder. Plus, there's the old tech nostalgia.
Not only have you taken this product from Nintendo to a completely new realm, but you've done it a way that lends to pixel art and videogame history. The softness of the pixel ratios in some of the natural gradients on the (+) model are stark/border-line realistic, especially when compared to the original. The way I see, you can either digitize a photo on a computer software, or you an naturally take an image of the world as you see it(BUT)but allow it to be manipulated by the thing capturing said image. This isn't new technology, though I am writing this as if it is, there's just something magical about the cartridge portion of the camera. The lens is capable of too much while the brains can only process so much. You've more or less bottlenecked a camera unintentionally and yet the results are astounding thanks to you. Thanks for such an awesome video.
I just love that someone took the time to design this incredibly well thought out retro mod. Adding more creative control to a gb camera?? Who thinks of this stuff? Awesome. That being said though, I think I preferred the overall look from the unmodified version, the noise looked cleaner. It may be because the plastic lens smudges the fine details, while the proper lens enhances them. Either way, great vid :)
I'm glad your channel is in a good place to get a studio. If this isn't a transitional setup and scene framing, I would suggest bringing back the L desk. This framing makes you feel squished against the wall, and the feeling that I'm just sitting on the other side of the desk chatting with you has been lost with the straight on angle.
Still working on framing for some scenes. I imaging things will be changing for the next couple months as I figure things out in the new space 😅 I really appreciate the feedback!
@MachoNachoProductions had a feeling. You have one of the highest polished formats in the retro community, and I would have been very shocked if this wasn't a 4 - 6 video transitional period. If I may offer one suggestion, more like wishful thinking. Introduce a macguffin. Something in every video moving forward that is in one or more scenes that doesn't belong and is never mentioned or explained. Something for us regulars to find. So we can be like, I saw the green army man behind the Xbox shell at ##:##
THANK YOU 🙏 for PROPERLY using your microphone. I have noticed that WAY TO MANY people are improperly using theirs. All those others seem to think they need to be RIGHT CLOSE UP to the microphone. IT'S JUST NOT THE CASE! Again. THANK you for proper microphone usage.😁
This is cool. Especially if you like the 8 bit/16bit style pixel art. You literally make everything you take a Pixel art show piece and you can choose how you present it.
Gosh, I need to get back to my mom's house and see if I can find my GB Camera (or two?). This seems like such a neat mod. Also congrats on the studio, Tito!!!!! 👏👏👏
That GB camera is somewhat interesting from a tech perspective still. They called it an artificial retina because there is some native edge detection on the CMOS itself to aid contrast. It also means it is very sensitive of movement for its resolution in image detection application. There also were some other selectable image effects built directly into the CMOS, but I don't remember them. Raw serially output image is decent, remember the GB uses raster to emulate grayscale so it resembles and ordinary grayscale camera when fed into a PC.
Wow, the upgraded GB Camera and the Mirrorless photos are almost indistinguishable! This is a pretty dope mod. Combine it with something like a Joey Jr. and you could have some serious lomo fun.
I think you may have misunderstood part of the video, the upgraded camera is still a very pixelated black and white image like the original GB camera but with more flexibility in framing.
If a longer cable for the sensor board to main board connection was made I'm sure someone could make a version of this that can still turn so it can still be used in selfie mode (maybe it can be done with the original but there could be clearance issues with the lens assemblies). I guess this particular one decided it wasn't worth the extra part cost/effort into keeping that functionality. Also not sure how the exposure stuff works on the GameBoy color but the lenses with aperture control would still be useful as it can have an impact on focus. Plus there might be an exposure limit to the software the GB Camera uses so altering the aperture down to a minimum might help with really bright scenes like the sky on a sunny day.
14:38 that fuzziness of the original lens really plays in favour of the unmodded camera. I wish they made a camera for that 200x mobile phones. This photos would’ve looked great on my 3310 Nokia back in the day.
11:18 Aperture also affects depth of field. The wider the aperture the shallower your depth of field will be. The opposite is true the more narrow your aperture. That's how you get the cool blurred out background effect is with a wide open aperture. The distance from the subject will also affect the depth of field.
Hey, just a heads up, Tito: the link to your Patreon gives a 404 error, apparently it's only missing an "S" at the end. Great video as always, by the way! I will definitely do this mod as soon as I get a second GB Camera!
First off Tito congratulations on the new studio!! And wow!! I was lucky enough as a kid to get the GB camera for my color when it came out I was in middle school! I had a friend Ed that was huge tech Modder and he extended the wires from his GB camera down his sleeve and wired the a button to be able to snap spy photos by pointing his hand and pushing the A button that ran though his sleeve to his GB pocket in his pocket!! He went on to putting full computer gaming setup in his station wagon in high school.. Sadly we lost touch.. I still have my GB camera and probably play it more than any other GB games to this day Lol. Favorite is Ball... Oh man hahaha.. Thanks for this video it was awesome!!
If I recall, there are now custom gameboy camera roms for more fine control over the camera itself. Ive seen some pictures of it and it looks exactly like a DSLR's interface. 2bit PXLR Studio and untoxa's Photo are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Obv this is for more advanced modders since you would need to replace the rom chip. I want to say there is even a flash rom option for non battery based backup too. Its amazing how far this community has gone!
What’s crazy is looking at the comparison of the actual on screen is like a night and day difference. I’m surprised how much just a lens mod (Like not even the Hypervisor/Software. Controller ect) Actually did. It’s insane, it’s literally 2-3X as clear in my option
2:30 Check out the Ultimate Game Boy Talk by Michael Steil. At the end he goes over the Game Boy Camera in humorous fashion. "... with a bit depth of... 2."
This mod is perfect for people who still dream on making their own games for game boys. They can save a lot of time designing environment and put all the effort into the characters and production of the game.
Adjusting aperture will still be helpful for changing depth of field so even if you cant see nice details in background you will still have easier time focusing correctly after closing aperture a bit.
I think the original GB pics look a little more defined. Definatly the street view just seems to have more center road defined and shadowing in the bottom left
A neat mod to this design would be a built-in tri-chromatic filter wheel, so you can take color photos without needing to remove the lens for each photo, you just spin the wheel to each lens color.
Ohh that does sound like it would be very nice to have, and probably easy to create too
2:29 "4 color grayscale pallette"

This is just so ridiculously overkill for a 128p camera, and I love it
Yeah, seriously. I'm disappointed that the mod doesn't upgrade the sensor as well. Kind of defeats the point.
@@Psythik that would defeat the point of using a gameboy camera … the ultra low fidelity is the point

Its not a question of can. But if
While optional, I'd recommend installing the IR filter. It will keep the sensor safe while there's no lense on.
Its also more functional than he might have realised. Just try taking a photo of somebody with sunglasses on without an IR sensor/with the OG hardware. You can see straight through to their eyes. Whether that’s a bug or feature is personal preference though.
@@Venomous28 tell me
more about this seeing through their eyes, sounds crazy
@@kanesmith8271 yes tell us Venomous.
your pupils serve as retroreflectors in the IR range, and that results in what you typically call "red eye".
Does the new shell work with the snes gameboy adapter cartridge
IR filter will prevent overexposure issue when taking pictures outside (giving you more control over the contrast and brightness) since the camera sensor is also sensitive to invisible IR rays.
okay, seriously, that IR filter makes this look so professional, even if it's the same hardware inside.
Haha, that’s what I love about the ir filter too. It’s similar to the filter on large sensor digital cameras

Most Nintendo consoles use Triwing screwdrivers, so people that deal with those consoles already have those screwdrivers.

the aperture change does make a difference, just like normal, it controls the depth of field, even if not much visible because of the resolution
The landscape photography looked great, but it would be cool to see the difference when taking portraits.
adjusting the aperture is actually a great feature, limited to 4 bit it's almost a contrast slider, even if the software rebrightenes the image
Adjusting aperture will still be helpful for changing depth of field so even if you cant see nice details in background you will still have easier time focusing correctly after closing aperture a bit.

Pretty sure that's just exposure differences. The image sensor is exactly the same so there shouldn't be any quality differences.
True, I tried to get the exposure about the same for each photo but it was tough to see the screen outside and make the adjustments.

Hmm, the aperture also play an important role in depth of field, not only to how much light passes on the sensor.
