Why do people do this? If you want to play Pokemon Blue on your SNES just put the cartridge in the Super Gameboy. I don't understand why people started ruining perfectly functional Super Gameboys and Gameboy cartridges just so they can play pretend about having a Gameboy game for their SNES. This is like taking a DVD player and gluing the tray shut with your favorite movie inside.

Absolute fucking Autism. The only reason someone would do this is that they can post it online saying "hey guys look at this cool thing I made" and get their free epeen points.

This is less functional than having an actual SGB and a Pokemon Blue cart. Whoever made this butchered two perfectly functional pieces of hardware just to make something stupid.

I can just imagine the fucktard who did this. It takes a special kind of retard to unironically "enjoy" first-gen Pokemon, but then to also make it an SNES cart? I bet you it's some fucking epic 90s kid who wears gamer t-shirts and thought this was cool. The fucking basedboy must own a switch, too.

It's worse than that. He ruined a Super Gameboy to do it. This isn't some sports game or untranslated Super Famicom cart that he found for $5 at a game shop-- he took two real cartridges that people actually want, and were working perfect, and he ruined them for no reason.

This spent hours meticulously dissecting and combining two game cartridges for the purpose of limiting their functions, because he wanted that super Gameboy to only ever play Pokemon Blue, and he never wanted that copy of Pokemon Blue to be used in a regular Gameboy again. This is not a reproduction cart-- it's a DE-production cart. There is now one less copy of Pokemon and one less super Gameboy in the world all so this guy could get le ebin upboats.

While I kind of agree, Pokémon carts are stupid expensive these days. Most retro game stores here sell them for $20-30 cart only, and the newer games cost $40-50 in box. It's like an Earthbound situation only with lower absolute prices but exponentially higher supply.

That said the Blue cart can probably be easily salvaged since I assume it's just inside. What about the SGB has been damaged? From what I can see (although I may be wrong) someone opened up the SGB cart, took out the internals, plugged Blue into the game slot, and then glued the whole thing into a second, emptied SNES cart with a sticker pasted onto it. So technically he ruined three pieces of hardware.

Is this sarcasm or could a person exist who is actually this dumb? It's hard to tell sometimes. If it is sarcasm, I don't see how it has anything to do with his point.

I think some people think they're in some sort of competition of who is the most hardcore retro gamer. So this is the sort of garbage they come up with, because they have no understanding of why retro gaming or collecting is a thing in the first place.

This has everything to do with demand and nothing to do with supply. Pokemon games are expensive because people will pay a lot for them. There are still millions of copies out there.

What? It's exactly the same process as changing one in an original cartridge. If someone knows how to do that, they can change it in this thing. And if they don't know how, they're in the same boat no matter which one they buy.

This, I think projects like this are cool. The exception being when someone has something really rare or one-of-a-kind, something that is a part of video game history, and they hack it up. I'm still mad about that fucking retard destroying an original Xbox devkit with who-knows-what otherwise lost data on it to turn it into a standard PC case. That guy deserves to be kicked in the balls every day of his life.

Well, I'm assuming that you already have access to both a super gameboy and a pokemon game. Am I right? I'd also make the assumption that you're not a scummy reseller, so there would be no reason for you to dread the loss of either item in the market place. And even if you were a reseller, things like this would only drive the prices of both items up.
Lastly, I am fairly safely assuming you wouldn't want one of these things yourself.

So now that we've safely concluded that this practice in no way effects you, I have to wonder what got up your ass?

Nah. A few guys doing this with shit they already owned isn't "sacrificing" anything and didn't have any impact on rarity. You're just mad because you jumped on the bandwagon late and are looking for someone to blame.

See >>4731819. The situation is much more upsetting than that. He removed the cartridge slot from the SGB and soldered the pins of the Gameboy cart directly to the pins where the cart slot connector should be. Good luck getting the solder off of those cartridge pins if you ever have second thoughts.

Of course if this person every had a second thought about anything they wouldn't have done the modification in the first place.

Great, so now all the get-ebay-rich autists out there are going to start buying up all the supergameboys and destroying them to make these stupid cartridges for other autists.

You wanna know how bad it is? Someone is actually manufacturing a ribbon cable specifically for turning Super Gameboys into single-game cartridges. Some of you laughed when I said this was going to be a problem but it's already too late. The ebay spergs now see Supergameboys as "pokemon conversion boards" and you can say goodbye to people ever being able to buy them for their real purpose at a reasonable price now that it's been established that there are people retarded enough to buy these hacked up cartridges at top dollar.

There are GBA and Genesis adapters for SNES, but they're really just clone systems stuffed into a cartridge that uses the SNES for power and input, with their own dedicated video output. I know a company called Retro-Bit makes them, but there might be alternatives out there that I'm not aware of.

It depends on what game you are trying to make and whether or not the boards are pre-assembled. If you were doing a large batch of games like say, 100, then buying the capacitors and resistors you would be pretty cheap per unit and you'd likely get a bulk discount on the PCBs.

If you just want to make one copy of a particuar game or even a few, it's often cheaper to just buy a sports game and swap out the chips. If you want a game that uses enhancement chips your only option might be to use a donor cart.
