Game Boy vs. Super Game Boy vs. Game Boy Color - Black Cartridge Modes Compared! / MY LIFE IN GAMING
Use code MLIG50 to get 50% OFF your first Factor box plus 20% off your next month at bit.ly/3TV53UN
-----
Have you ever bothered to play your black cartridge Game Boy games in any mode other than Game Boy Color? Sometimes the monochromatic shading of the original Game Boy creates a more cohesive image with additional depth! Sometimes Super Game Boy support is more robust than expected for a time when it was all but forgotten. And sometimes that GBC colorization really is spot-on! They're all worth a look!

    SNES games always looked blurry even on scart compared to Sega Megadrive games so this is interesting and I am glad I now know why.

    Heya! I tried following along to the settings at 30:15 for my PS1 Retro GEM, but I'm lost at the "add scanlines and resize" part because the video doesn't show the actual menu settings. What scanline/slot masks are you using to make PS1 HDMI games look THAT good with prescaling?

    • @mylifeingaming
      @mylifeingaming 15 часов назад

      [Try4ce] I usually use Exponential scanlines and then either the Aperture Grille Dense or Slot Mask Medium masks. Add Soft Bilinear interpolation to the horizontal axis. Maybe play with the IIR LPF. If you can use HDR, definitely turn it on and crank up the nits a bit in the Color Correction menu. If you can't use HDR, load "SSR Scanline Compensation" in the Color Correction menu.

    This video was a nice treat after beating the Remake of Riven. I need to go back and try Obduction again. I briefly gave it a try in VR and got stuck early on (doesn't that sound familiar) but I do wanna go back to it. The FMV actors are actually shot in stereoscopic 3D which is used in the game's VR mode. And I don't remember it looking that great but that might have been down to my VR resolution.

    Great video, as always! Just want to point out a small mistake at 29:30, the GBC and GB examples are switched around. Also, there exists a ROM hack of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins which incorporates colors beautifully. Check it out.

  • @lullylew9083

    Got a C sync cable for PS2. The only issue here is that PS2 + RGB + DvD playback don't mix. Sony and their stupid copying protection or some such. So if I wanna watch a dvd on my ps2, I have to switch over to my cheaper rgb scart that will work in the non-rgb input. Pain in the ass.

    If you pop a black cart into a GBC or GBA console, is there a way for it to default to the GB version of the game rather than the GBC version? The only GB hardware I have is a Super Gameboy. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to play the GB version of these games on a GBA so it’s portable.

    • @mylifeingaming

    I saw someone streaming that Mr. Do Quest and showing off that at a certain point, some letters in the results screen are incorrect, like they didn't even fully test the Game Boy Color mode to make sure it loads the correct tiles everywhere. I was fascinated to learn that the A Bug's Life game came out early enough on Game Boy Color that they bothered to put an alternate "16-bit" soundtrack into the Super Game Boy mode, but the cutscenes have animations only in the Game Boy Color mode, so it's debatable which is the more "deluxe" version.

    • @mylifeingaming
      @mylifeingaming 2 дня назад

      [Try4ce] Wow I've never heard of Super Game Boy games having a soundtrack generated by SNES! The only instances I can even think of where SNES sound is mixed in is for Pauline's voice in Donkey Kong and the clapping on the title screen in Kirby's Dream Land 2.

    • @BagOfMagicFood
      @BagOfMagicFood 2 дня назад

      ​@@mylifeingaming If you finish Donkey Kong, it uses SNES sound for the ending credits music! There are games that change all the music to use SNES samples, and there are games that replace all the sound effects; Animaniacs and Poko-nyan: Yume no Daibouken are notable for doing both.

    Great episode. I've always thought about this topic at the back of my mind, which is why I like playing some Game Boy games on the original or the pocket, and some games on the Color and/or Advance. When it came to the graphics, some games just looked better without color and vice versa.

      [Try4ce] That was actually a basic RGB mod with optimized sampling on the RetroTINK 4K! That's the same result as deblur, pretty much! Normally I'd have done the N64Digital modded unit, but the RGB one was easier to get recorded quickly at the time.
