Be honest, did you own any GBA Videos?
>>332990397
No. Had a friend who had a few. Despite the shitty quality of the videos, they were nice for back then. Goes without saying that they are archaic now though.
Fuck these were cool I had one that had 2 episodes of the pokemon anime.
>christmas 2004
>got two of the Pokemon ones
>that was my entertainment on the trip to our friend's cabin
Good memories with these things.
>>332990397
Yeah I had a few Pokemon and Sonic ones. They were pretty cool as a kid.
I sold all my GBA stuff a long time ago though.
>>332990397
These always felt silly to me. I didn't like Nickelodeon cartoons, and I didn't get why anyone would want to watch Pokemon, when they could play it on the same machine.
I didn't know that Cartoon Network had carts though, that's kinda neat.
>>332990397
Technically I did. Moved into a house and found a DBGT video cart in the closet.
>>332991332
>DBGT
I'm sorry.
>>332991407
I didn't have a GBA to play it at the time so I never did.
>>332990397
I had one Cartoon Network on, and one Spongebob one.
I remember that the videos went back and forth between being choppy and smooth. It was very distracting.
>>332990397
I think a had a Pokémon cart.
>>332990397
i had two pokemon ones, i still have one
I collect these things. They're dirt cheap, and since I have a bedside collection of GB(C)/GBA games they're great for those nights when I don't feel like playing anything.
I had Jimmy Neutron, nigga. Shit was fly.
Kinda wish that they'd do something similar with the 3DS.
no, but i had one of these
>>332990397
what?
I had two I believe.
One had a yugioh episode where Yugi faces Joey chained to drown or some shit
Then the other had a spongebob and fairly odd parents episode but I forget which
They came out when Kazaa and Limewire were popular and downloading episodes of vcr or dvd rips were possible. As long as you weren't a dumbass who downloaded xmistyxgetsxfuckedxhardxanal.exe, you were fine from all the malware and viruses.
>there's a scene to put TV shows and hentai on GBA Video
>there are GBA Video roms for download
ye
>>332990397
Nah but I had an e-reader.
Shit was pretty useless.
I had to swipe like 10 cards just to play Ice Climbers.
>>332993030
My friend had one of those
He got pretty fucking pissed when they released a color version shortly after
I actually did, while it's was shit tier quality, it's passed the time
There were video carts on GBA?
What?
>>332993030
I remember seeing commercials for that shit all the time.
How expensive were the discs?
>video on a GBA cart
Jesus Christ how compressed are is this shit? How much can a GBA cart hold? 8MB tops?
>>332993030
It's amazing how we went from this to being able to watch shit on our phones
No because I wasn't a fucking child when they came out.
Seriously this shit was made for legit children to watch SpongeBob and shit while their parents did errands.
No actual child or teenager with a functioning brain would use these since actual video games provided far more entertainment than a 200p compressed cartoon.
>>332993278
Yeah. Had spongbob, Fairly odd parents Jimmy neutron, Dragonball GT, YuGiOh, and some other shit.
All fucking awful quality and only had like one episode per cart
>>332990397
Yes! I was walking home from school and saw a cartridge for pokemon episode 1+2. don't quote me but if I recall there was no actual way to pause on those things.
>>332993182
Really? Sauce?
>>332993030
Oh my god I remember really wanting one of these.
It's so insane how much we take our technology for granted now.
>>332993354
32 MB actually, and take a look for yourself
https://youtu.be/Ry8C1rk2nlA
>>332993509
Look guys, low quality jelly donuts!
>>332993448
Two half hour episodes, or four 15 minute episodes. They had movie carts too but the framerate is abysmal.
>>332993509
that actually doesn't look that bad
No, I had aVideoNow
If you weren't watching this shit when you were on a road trip to your grandma's house, you didn't have a childhood.
>>332993182
>Implying anyone would waste their time with 144p resolution
>>332993738
Actually I was looking and there's a 2 pack with Shrek 2, I didn't know this.
Man how did I miss out on this?
>>332990997
so you ignored everyone in the car while you rode there? That's rude
>>332990397
I had the Sonic X cart that had the first two episodes because I was a dumb little kid that really liked Sonic during the early 00's.
I had the All Grown Up and Fairy Odd parents
I enjoyed all grown up despite what people think if it now
>>332993432
You're correct about all those things.
But we're legal now, so what are you going to do?
>>332994010
Good, who cares what other people think.
People give me shit cuz I like certain shit, so what.
Fuck them.
>>332990397
I had two of the pokemon ones
>>332993030
I also had this with band geeks and frycook games from spongebob
>>332993671
I was fucking jealous of my friend who had one. A local TV station had an opportunity to win one for free and I was ecstatic. I never did end up getting one.
Someone needs to make a video about the low-res TV competition circa 2004.
>>332993563
actually not that bad
>>332993887
I was 8
Where did they sell these things? I never once saw them as a kid. Only found out about them on a thread on here.
>>332993887
>ignored everyone in the car
Are you one of those fags that needs to be talking to someone constantly and can't just enjoy the silence
>>332994351
They were at Best Buy for$40each. I remember the price distinctly because I wanted to buy one but couldn't afford it.
>>332994010
What they think of it now?
I grew up with it too
>>332993887
Not every car trip is 10 minutes anon, I know you wouldn't know that since your mom only brings you to mcdonalds down the street though.
>>332994351
Toys r us and just about any electronic or vidya chain store (best buy, GameStop etc.)
Did you live in a rural town?
>>332994816
Nope, NYC. About as far from rural as you can get. I never saw it at GS, and don't remember seeing it at Toys R Us either. Didn't really go to Best Buy back then.
>>332993738
>roadtrip to Grandm'as house
I live 20 minutes away from my Grandma. Sounds like your family is shit.
I had two episodes of Pokemon on it. One was "Go West Young Mewoth."
>>332993030
I had one in color I think I had a copy of All Grown up and an episode of Dinosaur planet.
> I actually bought UMD movies for my PSP
it's actually really amazing how passé being able to play video has become
>>332995383
I remember wanting X (1999) for it for so fucking long and never getting it when I had the money because no store ever sold it again.
>>332995383
Even back then, you could just stick videos onto the removable storage if I remember correctly.
>>332995383
I have like six of those lying around, all of those shitty american movies.
>>332995097
>NYC
I don't know then because I've always seen them in queens and Manhattan. Best buy, toys t us, GameStop, circuit city etc. They didn't have that big of a section obviously, whatever little aisle GBA (and Nintendo in general) was given, barely anything was given to these GBA shows/movies.
>>332995536
I had this as a kid, poor-fag.
>>332993030
Yo I had one with band geeks. We then went on to never buy other discs.
>>332995147
Honestly.
My parents got away from our family.
I don't know much of my family.
They all live 5/6 hours away if we drove.
My mom said her family are a bunch of drunks.
Dad said his family are a bunch of idiots.
I never seen my family much from either side.
I become a drunk idiot.
It's in the blood, not being around them doesn't me I'm not gonna pick up the way we are.
>>332995383
>Tfw converters became available for psp
Shit was literally copy and paste a link or drag and drop a video file, but high school kids were ignorant and paid me for conversions anyway
>>332994692
>mom only brings you to mcdonalds down the street though.
OOOOOO SICK BURN OOOOOO!
Here's an upvote!
>>332994437
>>332996761
Damn anon sorry I struck a nerve
>>332995383
I had all of the good spongebob series pirated for my PSP
used to watch it at recess with my friends in highschool
never bought one but I had a TMNT one
>>332996317
A damn shame she never did porn. Oh well, I had Ice La Fox and Destiny Summer for my spic fix.
>>332993390
Those things were always cheap crap. Portable DVD players, PDAs, and even some smartphones capable of playing video already existed by the time VideoNow came out.
>>332997148
But they weren't exactly affordable to the average kid in the early 2000s.
>>332990397
I did, a Dragon Ball one I think, and 2 Pokemon ones.
Def the Pokemon ones though. It was OK for the time.
>>332996848
kek'd
>>332990397
>tfw can't find a rom of the shrek one
i just want to relive the memories
>>332996848
Not that anon but people that can't shut up are the worst kind of people, even worse when they do all they can to be heard.
Completely disgusting.
>>332997593
AUTISM
>>332997549
literally just buy it, it costs fucking nothing
>30 bucks for 2 episodes
Even when I was 12 I knew that was fucking dumb.
>>332997712
>Buy it
>It costs nothing
Might as well just pirate it, it's an almost 15 year old movie
>>332990397
>did you
Still have my two pokemon episodes right here. Must've watched these 15 times each at least.
>>332998156
>Almost 15 years old
fuck
>>332998156
But can you put it into a GBA?
no i had a cable
>>332997593
>Hey anon how are you
>OMG SHUT UP I'M TRYING OT BE ALONE WITH MY THOUGHTS
You're a faggot LOL
>>332996848
>not constantly craving attention and interaction makes you autistic
/v/ really does only think in extremes.
>>332999621
>>332996848
>>332994437
>>332993887
both of you, shut the fuck up
>>332999718
>Both of you
There's at least 3 people you just quoted
>>332993030
Holy shit I had one of these.
Alongside some discs of shows I've never fucking heard of.
>>332999718
make me
>>332999286
>>332999621
oh the irony
>>332993182
Thanks for reminding me of the DS movie scene
Why the fuck did that ever take off?
>>333000127
>ds is popular
>why would trying to capitalize on that happen?
>>332999202
No but you can watch it in 1080p on your PC, or 4K if you're rich or autistic (most likely the latter)
>>333000267
But these were modders converting movies into shitty ds resolution videos to put on their flashcards, not retail releases. Why would you waste your time creating something so low quality? I can kind of get PSP, but DS movies look like ass
>>332998156
>>332999176
Holy shit, it's gonna be 15 years next month. Where has the time gone, lads?
>>333000519
It's the thrill of having it, anon. We want what seems impossible
>>332999718
WHAT
DID
YOU
JUST
SAY?
>>333000519
Because some people are autistic and can only carry one thing at a time. I don't know about anyone else but I rather just use showbox on my phone and have everything in 720p at least.
>Implying 1080p is noticable on a 6 inch screen (Nexus 6)
>>332993887
I remember me and my friend playing Meteos on the way to Disney World.
Good times.
>>333001635
You're still interacting. This fucker is sitting in the corner not talking to anyone because he wants to be alone with his vagina
>>333001797
>He
>Vagina
Anon was friends with Buck Angel? Goddamn.
>>333001797
nigga long car trips are exhausting. Every time I've been on a car trip its either people playing a handheld/reading a book or taking a nap for the majority of it. People can only talk for so long.
>>333001961
>Buck Angel
>he
>>333001961
>>332993863
Oh god the bitrate on that must have been horrible. I had just the Shrek 2 one like >>332993738
Honestly though if you didn't get the movie ones you were kind of getting ripped off. 3 short episodes versus a full length movie. I mean... c'mon.
I had the Dragonball GT one and a Spongebob one
>>333002017
He doesn't talk at all.
