Game Boy Houses 80 GB “Super Hard Drive”

That's cool. I was hoping for an 80gb flash drive running an emulator. But, cool.

Invisible-Echidna

That's cool.

MrHibbert

i think i could do that. I have one of those green gameboy color lying there.

Unfortunatly it broke some time ago. I used to play Pokemon Crystal for ages on it :(

80 GBs?

That's not a Game boy, THAT'S A GAME MAN!!!

patapon

haha thats pretty cool

I wish I had that kind of talent.... ~

Now if they can just add a Camera, it be a GBI super hard drive.

Outkastprince

"Shoved up it."

Ouch. You make it sound like the GameBoy got fisted :(

bananapyramid

I know it doesnt work, but I wonder if all GB games ever released fits on 80gig

Michael Forsberg

I want one! lol

notquitedeadyet

Well, I'm sure his mum's proud of him.

I'm sure theres a good joke in here somewhere about the Game Boy getting a HD before the Wii.

[cache.gawker.com]" rel="lytebox" class="commentImageWhy not make a gPod? I'd love one. This doesn't really count

@Fadakar: Yeah, but 1 to 80 is a better comparison.

@One Man Freak Show: That's still too much. 512mb should be able to fit it fine.

@One Man Freak Show:

Aw man. I'd be so happy with a "game boy go".

Michael Forsberg

He'll only get the chicks if the buttons work.

@Michael Forsberg: They'd fit on one gig.

I cant wait to play Super Mario Drive!!
:3

@bananapyramid: You sound like a pervert.

@Michael Forsberg: I have the entire Classic and Color GB collection fit onto my PSP's Memory stick. 80 Gigs would be overkill... like using a DVD to save a single MP3.

No 'Game boys....have changed' comments? You disappoint me Kotakuites.....

Sniff......shine on Game Boy. Shine on.

He stuffed eighty GBs inside a GB?

That's a lie! I don't believe you, internet!

@MCWHAMMER: Genius. I'll buy 2.

BattleMagnum

Ummm..
this is months old and was on several sites... I thought including this one.

At first release idiots thought the guy had made a gameboy with 80Gb of storage for roms. Being as GB oms only take about 128kb that would be overkill.

Ur-Lord-Crypy

But he killed the Gameboy... I mean I could shove a 80GB hard drive up my colon with a USB plug hanging out of my ass but I'm still not a cyborg.

@awkner:
Hahaha, awesome.

@MCWHAMMER: A work colleague of mine has his iPod in an empty gameboy case, like that picture...

I'm interested in doing something similar, since my gameboy screen is busted. The only problem is that my gameboy is now yellow. I tried using white spirit to clean it, but it didn't work.

@excel_excel: Game boys....have changed.

Better?

@'360 Cabinboy (Corsair): hmp! Yes.

@NekuSakuraba just wants FRIENDS: I've never done anything like that, but it seems to me that would be very easy, just open up the gameboy, stick in a hard drive, cut a usb size hole in the GB case where the usb is, and there you go.

@Michael Forsberg: Yes and then some.

There were approx 2000 GameBoy games across all regions, with the largest GameBoy Color games weighing in at 16 Megabits (2 Megabytes) and the rest were a heck of a lot smaller (Tetris, Super Mario Land, etc at the start of it all were no bigger than 32 kilobytes/256 kilobits).

There'd be room left on that hard drive for a complete set of console gaming history from the pre Atari 2600 era right the way to the SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis. You'd probably get the N64 and Atari Jaguar on there at a push as well.

@BallPtPenTheif: or are you? "cue alien music"

@TarnishedReputation: That's not something you can clean off. Its the plastic changing color with age.

@Lord Raggleus Fraggleus: Just the right kind of pervert, though.

@excel_excel: Or, we could go Fallout 3 with it:

"Game Boys... Game Boys never change."

Would have been better if he'd shoved a small computer in there and replaced the screen with a real LCD with backlight and used it for emulating a GBA. :D

@Outkastprince: Or they could call it GBi Go.

YayMii

@awkner: That's epic.

YayMii

@excel_excel: Game Boys aren't made anymore though. It all ended with Micro, then Ninty replaced "Game Boy" with "DS".

YayMii

@zixaphir: dude, it's a GameBoy. You can't fit anything in it, especially not a computer. The HDD must take all the space, and it must be a 2.5".

Nudgenudge

@LiquidDarsh: yeah, the old Nintendo plastic: tough as adamantium, yellow as if you put it in your oven for 5 minutes.

Nudgenudge

I've done this already... One has an 80GB drive and a friends has a 120GB drive

maverickuw

it would be way cool if the screen actually function... Mario running collecting coins or smashing bricks... as the sectors are being written

trailingedge

@maverickuw: Radical.

njd09

If I had any kind of talent modding stuff I would try to stick a flash memory inside it and load it with roms hehehe

Did you guys know GB's is pronounced Jigga-bites? Yeah....

That's a lot of Jiggabytes!!

(That's probably the reason no one calls it that)

@Nudgenudge: But it's an Old Gameboy. You could fit Fat Albert, Newt Gingrich, and a boat into those things.

@maverickuw: Well you've got to send your pics in or else it doesn't count.

ctorrans

Now mod a Hard drive to work as a game boy

@MegaClank: It can be pronounced jig-uh and gig-uh.

@ctorrans: Yeah. For serious.

GeneralFBDZ

@spiiikes: ONE POINT TWENTY-ONE JIGGABYTES?! GREAT SCOTT!

@Zak Canard: Indeed. Most N64 games were 16 megabytes or less, a handful were 32 megs, and only 2 were 64MB (Pokemon Stadium 2 and Resident Evil 2).

That's awesome! Cheers to whoever did that!. :)

davebdavenky

I miss my original Game Boy. To this day it remains the only piece of gaming hardware I've had completely up and die beyond repair. I replaced it with a GBA, and then traded that in for a GBA-SP as soon as they came out. I made that trade because I realized I couldn't see the screen of my original GBA worth a damn! Stupid lack of backlight....

jcb231

This whole sub-niche modder trend of sticking current guts into older shells is neat. Looking forward to seeing an XboxNext in a PS3 case, and the lulz that will inevitably ensue.

@TarnishedReputation: As the two posters stated above, that's just what happens. Although I did read an article a few months ago about some kind of cleaner that could restore the original color to classic Macintoshs (did you know those things were actually white at one point in their lives? Every one I'd ever seen was that sickly yellow color.) that I'm sure would work here.

@Michael Forsberg: Grab a DS and a flash card. You can use it to run emulators for Game Boy Color. I have about 60 Game Boy games on my DS, though I really only ever play Super Mario Land and Metroid II.

@MegaClank: lol.jif

Most of me wants to shake that persons hand, but the collector in me wants to wring his neck...
