That's the gameboy advance intro though

If you haven't seen the trend on X of people hacking their TVs to remove the bloat and spyware then add in better UI it's been pretty awesome to watch.

The title made my mind jump to these great peripherals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Game_Boy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Player

Cool demo, horrid UX

Reminds me of when we set up an outdated Sega Dreamcast for emulation. We had rolled home a trash picked badly out of alignment rear projection TV on our skateboards and parked it in the garage - mom wasn't letting it in the house. My youngest brother, still in diapers, thought it completely normal to sit on the garage floor and play the Gameboy "Green" Pokemon English translated rom. The individual emulated pixels were huge on that thing (and three different colors around the edges).

Has a long way to go. Many errors here, and any true fan or historian of Nintendo would see them immediately. The startup screen is the Game Boy Advance, not Color. The Pokemon center building is completely messed up. The sprites are a bizarre and somewhat inaccurate mishmash of the RBY and GSC games. Only GSC were coded with GBC colors (Yellow was a bit of a middle ground, Red and Blue were only GB coded) At least he's saying Game Boy and not the incorrect "Gameboy" that most people type wrong.

the settings was very funny. could just be playing a video as far as i know im going to say this here just to vent it out once: some part of me sinks into depression when vibe coders say "I" turned/did/made something. why does this bother me? smart managers i work with who actually build things as hobbies and used to build apps say this all the time so its not like it indicates someone is phony, it just really catches on my brain when i hear it

I like this idea

Beat lvl 100 Mewtwo with lvl 5 Pikachu to change settings? Still easier than using a Samsung smart TV.
