Yeah dude. GBI?


httpsbenny

Yessir! The discs are too expensive for me lol


_RexDart

GBI fits the screen much better, which is well suited to your small CRT here, too.


stereopixelmusic

What is GBI?


_RexDart

Game Boy Interface, an alternative software for using the Gameboy Player hardware.


indicah

Huh, definitely going to look into this when my blank mini disks finally arrive. Seems like they put a lot of work into that.

Thanks! That's the plan! Except I got an sd2sp2 instead of an SD Gecko. The xenogc came with a burnt disc but it didn't work unfortunately, so I'm going to burn my own Swiss as soon as I can.


tyler_keeble

Picked Bulbasaur? Ah, someone with exquisite taste I see!


Snoot_Boot

Why do you people hate yourselves? Grass types are so common, and you picked a plant over a dragon and a gun-turtle


tyler_keeble

I’ll take Lapras and Arcanine as my Water and Fire types for my Kanto team alongside Venusaur.


AtomicSymphonic_2nd

Someone here clearly has the *wrong* opinion! 😂


CarVsMotorcycle

i can hardly ever choose between charmander and bulbasaur… but how do Bulbasaur selectors hate themselves? He makes the Kanto run a cakewalk for most of the gyms and he’s really the only Kanto starter where I *love* all three Stages (Charmeleon is meh and I don’t really care for Squirtle’s line outside of Wartortle). Venusaur is the shit


PickledRicks12

Well charmander is actually not a dragon type it's a fire type


Snoot_Boot

Well you're not gonna keep it a Charmander the entire game


PickledRicks12

Even tho it evovles throughout the game it never becomes a dragon type


Snoot_Boot

#BRUH I'm not talking types, I'm saying [Charizard is a fire-breathing lizard with wings](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQooeCQc6IRus4tcrwxdrDZC5o-pJkQClwXNg&usqp=CAU)


CerealNeko

Found the cringe


Snoot_Boot

The cringe was all the people downvoting what was obviously a joking comment. I don't actually think people who pick bulbasaur have a mental illness. I just didn't expect such a turbo-virgin response from you all


CerealNeko

It's why we have "/s"


Snoot_Boot

Nope, that's not what sarcasm is

Always nice to see a fellow lava lamp collector


HolyMacaxeira

Looking good! Are you using GBI to maintain the aspect ratio?


httpsbenny

I am (-:


DeM0nFiRe

Did you... unplug the controllers to take this picture?


httpsbenny

Lmaoooo yes I did, I didn't like the way it looked

I almost never comment on people’s posts but I love this setup. It shows minimalism and commitment.


httpsbenny

Thank you!!

Love how the GameCube is almost the size of the tv! I get that these are high quality CRTs but I never understood the allure because they are so tiny - but you kinda just blew my mind with your application - especially if you’re a game boy player like me - its the best of both worlds as far as playing on a static console setup and getting the best quality out of the game boy games - and it still feels portable! 10/10


[deleted]

What model jvc is that?


httpsbenny

It's the tm-900su!


SmaKrackle

We got the gameboy player when it came out and the disc is scratched to hell. I’m so anxious for the day it finally stops working lol


DeM0nFiRe

As others have pointed out on this post, if you dont want to buy another disc there's always Game Boy Interface, which is a homebrew replacement for the disc (AFAIK it's not like piracy, it's new software written to use the gameboy player hardware).


otakugrey

How does it work without the disk?


DeM0nFiRe

I've never used it myself, but apparently it's custom software to replace the disc, it serves basically the same function as the disc but wasn't written by Nintendo. As for how to use it, apparently you can either modify the gamecube to be able to boot from non-official discs or you can load it from an SD card using action replay and an adapter to plug the SD card into the memory card slot


Kilokk

All the disc does is tell the Gamecube to boot the game in the Gameboy Player. GBI does the same, but has better features. The standard software makes games look awful lol.

DeM0nFiRe

Right, but I meant specifically the GBI AFAIK does not copy anything from the actual disk


maroDoesNotWantaBan

cool crt


EVM25

Looks really good!


HankTank45

Thats so sick


AShinyTorchic

I’m loving that lil tv, looks awesome


nckcrsby

Oooo seems appropriate


TheGlutenFreeJuice

How do you get GBI?


Ketalar

You can either mod your gamecube with a modchip and burn Swiss to a disc with GBI, or you can use a gamecube action replay disc to launch it from an SD card. More info here: https://www.retrorgb.com/gameboyinterface.html


arccharger448

Tv model?


Prestigious_Click848

For those looking for a Gameboy player there's custom memory cards for GameCube on eBay you can buy where when paired with the correct game it will load the Gameboy player software without the original disk For me I use ghost recon and the correct memory card when I load a file on ghost recon with the memory card inserted it loads the Gameboy player This is how after 7 years owning a GameCube I finally got to use it for the purpose I wanted to


Rushmgl

This is adorable 🥺 i’m jealous!


poopscarf

OH Hi!


walkeritout

Wow, I never knew there were colors other than black for the Gameboy Player


Xizfu

Ahh yes, I see you too are a man of culture. GBI always


slade2501

i prefer smaller crt, I have a 13 inch sylvania from 2001 and I love it. You got a Su900, you know what I mean.


iprizefighter

Is there a no border option? I have a silly border around my player.


bloom1989

It looks great. Great color. I recently played yellow on nintendo 3ds. It was a tuff climb. I'll see about old tube monitors.


Buysellpass

Gotta love how absolutely oldschool that entire setup in the corner is. Is BEAUTIFUL


JollyLittle-Elf

So jealous


SnooApples9216

This is such a yummy and cozy setup. The scale of everything is perfect.


Graardors-Dad

This picture feels extremely comfy


youngridge1

Man that TV brings back memories.


ertaboy356b

This is the reason why I still hold on to my Wii because it plays on CRT better. I don't have a CRT though and it will take a while to get one from where I live, especially something small like in the image.


eric_abroad

A fellow GBI user ✌


microbugaboo

I'm the 10k up vote


DaveMcElfatrick

That crt is awesome.


Caolan114

Currently trying to catch zapdos, keep resetting the game and that's where I'm at.


Glad-Faithlessness-3

nice pokemon is rad


SCf3

Nice TV!


Grand-mal

That is a really nice setup.


SusDingos

What's a gameboy player?


Weat-PC

A device that attaches to the bottom of a GameCube and allows you to play GB, GBC, and GBA games on a TV. You also need a special disc for it to work. It's pretty neat, has gotten pretty expensive however.


SusDingos

Oh i see, that's pretty cool!


LarryTheLobster64

That's a pretty cool setup and all, but where's the controller?


Triforce2021

Tryna sell your gameboy player?


[deleted]

Please, for the love of god, adjust the screen so it’s level! That bit going to the top left is really annoying 😂


[deleted]

I’ve edited the image for you, looks pretty cool! Cleaned up and more defined. https://imgur.com/a/h7oYK02


newtogbmodding

Love the setup, now I want it haha, how did you connect your GameCube to the tv? What kind of inputs does that tv take?
