--- Quote from: BadChad ---Nice, looks like shes working good. Is it possible to set this up so it plays in full screen? Id think the boarders might make gameplay feel a little wierd.

apparently this can be done, but only with an xrgb or similar upscan convertor...

--- Quote from: scaredtowake ---i wish it were possible to make a GG to GEN converter of some sort that would work through the 32X

--- Quote from: CommunistGamer ---I might be possable, you just need a rom that reads from the gg and sends all the videoout, power, and sound through the 32x

It's been loooooong discussed over at sega-16.com ... short answer, not possible.

--- Quote from: CommunistGamer ---Hmm. just checked that site, guess what, all i found was the fact that the idea i had is the only way it would work. what a concept. using the gg hardware, thats never been thought of before . (Super gameboy)

Dr.Agon:
Glad thats over with!, really should take some shots of the 'finished' MegaGear (just need to re-do the power connection...)
YAY! now i can post about new and upcoming projects!
Dr.Agon:
ok, i have a video uploading, i'll have to put up a link
but i was thinking, sometimes when im on a forum ive seen videos in the actual posts, so you click on it and it plays right there in a little window, how do you do that?
EDIT: lets see if this works...
so a couple of notes;
the commentary is a bit silly/crappy, but i had fun anyway!
the wii shell was recovered from a previous project, i re-shelled my wii so had this one to spare.
the cart is in sideways, mounting it so the label faced forward would have required a bit more work than i was prepared to put into this!
the video connector is just a 9-pin that i recovered from the megadrive board.
i had an old non-dualshock playstation controller gathering dust, now it finally has a purpose!, but what magic allows me to use it with the GBA??

the guy behind the cthulu boards makes something called the 'FGW converter', this allows you to convert playstation, saturn or super nintendo controller signals in to individual signals, this allows you to hook them up to other controllers, like i have here, or x360/ps3 controllers to make a snes-to-x360 connector, for example, or even connect saturn controllers to a supergun/jamma test rig!
needless to say i'll be ordering a few more of those!
FritzWhite:
I admire your do-it-yourself approach. The way you set up the GameBoy to connect all of your consoles to one tv reminds of this video from youtube. GamingTheSystems is one of my favorite channels for retro gaming.
I like how you both have everything plugged in and connected to one tv and can switch between consoles by pressing a few buttons. I hope it's ok to post links to youtube here; if it's not I'll just delete my post.
I hope you enjoy:
