Thats fucking cool. I made a Music video soon to be released that used a canon and a macro lens to film the screen of an advance SP. worked pretty well was thining of ways we could make it a bit more perminent than a camera pointed at a Gameboy
WELL DONE! ill share my Music video soon

IIRC I read somewhere that the board lens have an aperture of 13, so obviously the lens has very poor performance in low light conditions, but it dosen't change the clock cycle of the CMOS image sensor. I think it has to do with how fast the CMOS image sensor process the black pixels, but I don't know. That's why I wondered if overclocking the GBA would do any difference. Or does the camera have it's own oscillator? According to the M64282FP datasheet it has a system clock of 500KHz, so if it pulls it's clock from the GBA there is a divider inbetween. So you could either change the divider or overclock the GBA. Providing the camera won't crash. Does anyone have schematics for the MGB-006? I'm also very much interested in the japanese version aswell.

You can also change the board lens that is mounted on the CMOS image sensor. It's basicly something like this, but not the exact part, it's just an example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Safety-CCTV-C … 43bdc2a453

And you can get different lenses that will screw onto the holder like so: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Safety-CCTV-C … 43bdc2a453

Different lenses has different focal lengt, aperture and angle of view. So oviously if you use one with a low aperture, image quality will increase. I'm wondering what results you would get with a better board lens, and overclocking. Hmm......

That is pretty cool!
I thought of doing something similar by recording my SNES but it obviously wouldn't have been portable.

For the FPS drops: Yeah, the camera just does that. I'm guessing it has to do with how the lens filters the light so I don't think it's fixable, but I'm no camera expert.

Aarrgh.. The greens are ridiculous. I guess I'll just stick to the grey.

I tried changing palettes in the "game" but I did not know you could change the palette of the GBA. Thanks for the tip! Cheat sheat for everyone, right here: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/system … change.jsp

That's so cool! I wanna see a movie with that, regardless of how much it hurts my eyes.

Just try the gray scale option or some other pallets when booting the Cart.

I hate this color palette! Luckely, someone seems to have created a 'minimal' video out mod for the DMG. Seem's like I might soon have a GBA with transverter mod in storage.

Abselutely yes! But, how much does it cost to ship that thing to EU? What gear are you using? What printing material? I have never designed anything for 3D printing before, so is it even possible for me to design something like that?

Oh and guy's, it's not tethered anymore. It is now portable! https://www.flickr.com/photos/62235217@N07/15866192196/

And I took it for a spin! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMWYe12G7KQ

Also I've noticed something. If it is in a very low light situation, the FPS can drop to as low as 1. Could someone with an overclocked GBA check if it helps?

Video please.

If you need any 3D prints for the housing I'd be more than willing to send you a print for just the cost of shipping.

I'll get some video for you tomorrow, but I can't really bring it anywhere in this state.

Edit: I'm going to sketch something up for the new casing. You're welcome to pitch in ideas if you feel like it

No delete, sorry about double post.

Yes, that is where your old transverter went

what have we wrought?

this is tight af
