James is great. I discovered his channel through the garbage universe (Dank Pods, Garbage Time, Drum Thing, etc.)

Honestly 2minutes 5 seconds of battery is kinda how it felt back in the day anyway, time flies when you are having fun.

If you listen closely to the buzzing it makes you can hear the Game Boy begging for the sweet release of death.

In all seriousness though, I'm more than happy with the available "off-the-shelf" Game Boy mods. Not to mention that things like this are way beyond my skill level.

Ok this was hilarious

Watching the video, it also looks like he made a cursed 'portable Super Game Boy' at some point.

Finaly! A way to play GBA fighting games with less input latency!

(Interestingly, I imagine this would have more latency, since I imagine things are being copied to a framebuffer before being drawn on the crt?)

Would you consider modifying a vintage console like this?

Not like that, lol. Feels like seeing my best friend from childhood beheaded and paraded around.

Game Boys are what they are, IMO, including all the quirks and limitations. I don't particularly like seeing them modded let alone mutilated.

That said, I do like the modern remakes with full color screens, extra buttons, and such that don't destroy a vintage unit in the process.
