Is this thing worth it? If so, recommend me some good gameboy games.

Pokemon

Pokemon
Pokemon
Pokemon clone/monster sex simulator
Block stacking game
Link's drug trip
Super Mario Weird+2
Endless Story legends
...all that came to mind really. Pokemon is good too
>>2917921
Definitely worth it!!! You can get one for 15 bucks on ebay. Here's mine with a few game suggestions

>>2917921
I was fine with the Super Game Boy until VR had to point out that it runs games at the wrong speed and trigger autism I didn't even know I had...
>>2917921
Doesn't play GBC games so it kind of sucks.
Would advise Gamecube's Gameboy Player instead. Lets you play all gameboy, and gameboy advance games.
>>2917921
These things were $5 max in my area a year ago, now they go for ~20 at the same store. It's all these goddamn hipsterfags jumping on the nostalgia bandwagon willing to pay whatever the sticker says. Makes me ill
>>2917956
It's fucking obnoxious, no? I live in a relatively biggish city in TN where the shit was relatively niche until this sudden boom in popularity happened overnight. Like my friends and I can almost pinpoint the day this happened and prices fucking soared. At least SEGA's still cheap
>>2917962
It's mostly resellers taking advantage of stupid people or resellers trying to make a living off this shit. I've seen people try to buy on ebay, then sell that same purchase on ebay at a marked up price and it work before. It fucking baffles me.
All these hipster retards with money to blow.
>>2917952
You showed him pal!
>>2917952
He was just suggesting something. Calm down faggot.
Get a Super Game Boy 2, the original doesn't play games at the proper speed.
>>2918168
Yeah but the SGB2 is Super Famicom-exclusive. Of course, modding a SNES is easy if you've got a gamebit, but still.
Also, the speed thing isn't even a big deal, the games play sliiiightly faster, which I don't actually mind at all, if it was slightly slower then maybe, but slightly faster? doesn't sound bad to me. And still, it's barely noticeable, I never noticed it myself until someone told me about it here on /vr/, I'm still not sure if I can actually notice it. Maybe if I play the game back to back on an original GB and the SGB, but I don't own 2 copies of the same game.
>>2917952
>>2918509
I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that the Super Gameboy plays games about 2.4% faster than normal, so it's barely noticable at all. Nothing significant. If anything that extra bit of speed can help you improve at Tetris.
>>2918004
keep scapegoating a nebulous, potentially non-existent group of people for your own socioeconomic status. Get a job, buy games. Not hard. I haven't paid more than $30 for a used /vr/ game in years.
>>2918632
Sounds like you're lucky. It's rare that I ever find a good, non-sports game below $30.
>>2918641
I just buy from small forums and occasionally pay the premium at the local game store if they have something cool that I don't want to wait for.
There is one special version of Space Invaders on it that is pretty interesting. Here is a vid on it:

Just fucking emulate.
>>2917921
Pokémon, Super Mario Land, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Wario Land, Link's Awakening, Final Fantasy Legends
>>2917947
It predates the GBC though, dunnit?
The GBA player is pretty crunk but I hear the boot disk isn't easy to find anymore.
>>2917952
>suggests an option to let you play actual /vr/ games (GB and GBC)
>REEEEEEEEE NOT RETRO!!!
Jesus, just fucking kill yourself.Also the GBA is OLEV, can't wait for it to be officially allowed so I can rub it in your face
>>2917954
20USD isn't really that bad for what's essentially a Gameboy.
>>2918509
Well, all that stops the SNES from using SFC carts are those little blocking tabs in the cartridge slot, if you remove the tabs SFC cartridges will fit in there and the SNES will run them with no issues at all.
Now, I don't know a lot about the SGB2 but I assume it's shaped like an SFC cart, so it oughta fit with the tabs removed. I don't however know if it'll actually work with the SNES though.

>>2917921
I saw some anons bitching recently that the Super Game Boy slows down whatever game you're trying to play, can anyone confirm/deny? I'd like to play GB on TV, but the Wideboy looks way too overpriced/rare and I never did the Gamecube thing.
>>2922096
Read the thread, it speeds them up. Not by a whole lot, but enough so that you'll notice it.
>>2917921
well good luck because some of these games have gone up in price.
Mario Land 1 2 and 3
Zelda DX
Castlevania
Gargoyles Quest
Kirby
Megaman games
Final Fantasy Adventures
Tetris
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

my hacked 3ds plays all of those games, for free.

you need to reevaluate your stance on retro gaming. There is nothing more satisfying than the real thing. That's what this forum is all about
>>2922908
holy shit get over yourself
>>2922908
Who cares?
DK RULES
>>2917921
it's a original module from nintendo to play gameboy games on the super nintendo. It's fucking obligatory.
>>2917921
If you want to play GB original games, it is pretty good. I'd reccomend fixing the clock speed with a mod though, either that or get the SGB2 from Japan.
>>2917954
Or it's just people who owned them as a kid finally getting a job and want to relive a part of their childhood naturally driving the price up. I doubt or at least sincerely hope no one actually gets a huge retro gaming collection just because they wanna look cool.
>>2922908
4chan is not a forum.
>>2920846
>hipster e-celeb
>>2922908
Unlike you my affinity lies in the games themselves, not the format.
If the game is there and playable, and I have the controls to interract with it (a gamepad or whatever), that's all that actually matters.
>>2924141
Who even cares, I clicked the link, watched the (short enough) video, thought it was quaint and moved on, I'll probably never see his videos again, but it's not like he shoved it full of shitty injokes, had cringey storyline or made it about his persona/ego.
As far as e-celebs go, he seems incredibly tame, it's not like he's PDP or anything.
>>2917921
If you're looking for a way to play GB games without having to constantly charge a system or buy a fuckton of AA batteries, it's a godsend.

My fav GB game is Monster Max, still playable to this day. Godlike music too.
>>2925340
You're still stuck with the screen of the GB though.
If I have to choose between a small olive green dot matrix screen with lots of ghosting and which is hard to see in a lot of lights, and big clear TV, then I think it's pretty obvious.
>>2926962
>not extrapolating this to apply to the pocket or color both of which resolved the ghosting issues of the gb

I'm with this guy.
>>2926305I wanna taste your ass.
>>2917921
If you already have a gameboy advance sp or any device that plays gb/gbc games then no since these carts are getting fairly expensive, that and as it was noted they don't play most gbc games, just black cart gbc games. You're better off getting a gb player for the GC. I got my super gb a couple years back for $1 and I think that's what it's worth, or at least less than $10 since they're a cool device to place your gb game on your snes, especially if you don't own a GC and on top of that, having to buy the GBP add-on with the disc.
Aside from that, you're better off playing an emulator or using a gba sp.
Mario's Picross is the best GB-exclusive puzzle game, and the Wario Land series are its best platformers.
Mega Man IV and V are even better than the NES games, but they're incredibly expensive.
>>2927093
the only retro controller option for the gamecube is the ultra expensive hori one
that shit is 130 dollars bro
>>2927125
Then get the jp release, cheaper and it's not like you need to understand english to play megaman.
>>2924141
How is he a hipster?
>>2917921
Gameboy games are not supposed to be played on a big screen nor are they supposed to be played with scan lines.
>>2920846
Go away Rerez.
>>2927328
donkey kong would disagree, if any game was made for sgb that one was
>>2927170
Then just use a game cube controller, no one is asking you to buy the hori controller.
>>2927354
nope it looks better without scam lines. BTW you can play sgb on handhelds too without the crt effect.
>>2927054
>screen still tiny
Which isn't a problem, but the context of this thread is playing GameBoy on your TV.
Shame they never gave the GameBoy Color a lit screen, that would have been supreme.
Though I guess it was after the GameBoy Light which used a monochrome screen and long before the GBA SP. I guess there's always the SP nowadays.
>>2927170
Yikes that's actually not cheap.
Aren't there gamepad adaptors for consoles? Like, I know you're supposed to be able to play on a GameCube with a DualShock 2 with the use of an adaptor.
>>2927328
Well Nintendo just fucking schooled you on that one about two decades ago, didn't they?
>>2928256
>scamlines
I don't even like CRTs but for the love of god STOP
>>2917954
I pulled one out of the garbage at a flea market once.
>>2929007
Game Boy Games are not supposed to be played with scam lines. /thread
>>2929243
Doesn't mean they look terrible bad with them either.
>>2929267
They do. They are not meant to be played like that. A game boy doesn't have scan lines. Scan lines degrade game Boy Games, unlike nes and snes games which they enhance beautifully.
>>2929273
lol look at this fag. back in the day there wasn't anyone that would rather play on the tiny ass gameboy screen versus a super gameboy. i remember being super jealous of my friend who had one.
>>2929273
What if it's on a super gameboy? checkmate atheists.
>>2929302
Games can be played however the fuck you want you games can only be played one certain way fags.
>>2929302
Are you telling us to buy gameboys and every single game ever? Obviously this isn't a very realistic option for everyone. Stretching those super low resolution games on lcd look like shit too, so what are you suggesting?
>>2929243
Kill yourself, just, please kill yourself, you are a bad poster and you're actively detracting from this thread and this board.
>>2929273
>Scan lines degrade game Boy Games
I'd say they don't make a goddamn difference.
>>2929302
I hate CRT's, I'm arguing that you're a fat cockgobbler.
I'll hook a Super Gameboy up to my big flatscreen and you can't stop me.
>>2929313
>Stretching those super low resolution games on lcd look like shit too
Depends on how they're stretched, if the aspect ratio is kept I don't think it'd look bad, I don't mind pixelation, the Super Gameboy adds borders too.
>>2929323
>Gameboy games are not meant to be played with scan lines let alone any TV device
Well Nintendo obviously disagrees with that notion given that they developed, produced, marketed and sold the Super Gameboy
>>2927328
>scan lines
Play on a crt, then.
>>2929471
Gameboy games are not meant to be played on a TV screen.
>>2930078
Then why would nintendo make things like this, that let you play them on a TV?
>>2930268
as a consumer feature. it's just a "feature". it's like playing ps1 games on your psp. it's not meant to be played that way but you can because feature allows it for reasons of comfort etc.
>>2930078
So?
Not ideal, but still pretty neat.

In Germany you still pay at max 5€ for one of These. Sure, there are People trying to sell it for like 40€, but those never get sold. 5€ ispretty stable here in Germany.

>not playing on an LCD as the developer originally intended
>>2932143
Weird, that seems to be based around the megadrive version. Pretty neat.
>>2927170
you can use a game boy advance as the controller for the game boy player
i have one and the colors dont match up very well, however there is a gamecube gameboy play that is accurate. but maybe that isnt an option
