I would still say it IS a joke... It's only the video footage from the game. It is NOT itself an actual game. This is essentially a GBA Video cart. Watching Night Trap on GBA is not playing Night Trap on GBA. I hope there aren't too many people that didn't read the small print before ordering this...
Metal Slug was ported to the GBC so it's not a case of the GBA not being powerful enough to run Night Trap as a game, it's that Limited Run Games couldn't be bothered to get someone to actually port it as a full game.
I believe it would have been too complicated to play this game on a GBA mainly because of the screen size and resolution, you need to be very quick when looking at the security cameras to catch the ennemies and the video surveillance panel needs to be divided into 6 or more little screens.
Hello! We were sent your video by another user who also experienced the same thing with Night Trap. We'll look into it and hopefully have it recognised properly in a future update, along with being able to dump the file (if that's possible, haven't tested just yet but there's hope of making it work) 🙏🏻. Either way, thank you very much for trying it on the GB Operator!
This was such a cool idea. I’m waiting on my copy as well. I’m going to use your idea for a video. Thank you for the great video and idea. It only took a year to get this.
GBA video was not compatible with GB player so as to prevent people from recording the movies/episodes included. You know, in an era with poor video quality on DVD, people would have loved to have a high quality copy of Shrek/Shrek 2/shark tale coming from a GBA video cart 😂😂
If people are interested in this sort of thing, I can make a practically endless amount of videos for the GBA on a flash cart since I have the right tools to do so and I recently obtained a family's inheritance of thousands of DVDs for movies and TVs that they didn't want. I can convert any one of them to various formats including the GBA.
14 months. That's the biggest reason why I stopped buying from them many years ago. It's always preorder 6-9 months in advance. They get to keep your money that long building interest on that money too. Plus they got bought/sold out to a big company too a while back. Maybe the April "Fools" is what they think there customers are. It reminds me how bad a lot of kickstarter can be. $60 basically buying a "joke" game.
Hold up. Unofficial Pokemon Ruby? The red cartridge? It seems they bought a bunch of Pokemon Ruby bootlegs online for cheap and wrote over the files with this, then just slapped a new label on them.
That or they burnt the roms with the same code that identifies the cart as a different one. The Epilogue device could be confused as well if it doesn't recognize what the cart is. I didn't put too much stock into the fact the cart came up as something else.
The whole Point/Joke from Limited run is ,that Nintendo back in the day Stated that people will Never see violent garbage Like Night trap on a Nintendo System ever! Now Theres a switch and even a GBA Version in some weird way😂
There was a telling interview recently with the CEO of Limited Run games. It puts things in perspective as far as all the hate people have been giving them being unwarranted.
I'll have to find that. Limited Run has been off their game as of late, but there always seems to someone with a grievance regarding the way they do things. Originally they would print a limited run a games and then sell them and would often sell out immediately and people would complain they never had a chance to purchase the game (a lot of bots would scoop them up and resell on ebay). So they changed to take the orders for a limited time (like a month) and then make the games to order and then people complain that they took the money right away and they don't get their game for 6 months to a year. There's no way they can make everyone happy... but they could at least up the QA of items before shipping them out.
@@CrowContinuum He discussed how they tried to trick the bots into not buying or buying bogus things. They would make it very clear what the deadline was to pre-order. They never ever sold any of their old stuff at the ebay prices. Even at their one brick and mortar store. I forget now where the interview is but it's on You Tube. just google interview with Limited Run CEO.
If I can study it and learn how to RNG on GB, I'd give it a shot. Another Code for the DS was a good trial run so it's not like it'd be my first demake.
@@pixelperfectstreamarchive7176 bro There a Game I still play to this day it's call "NES Play Action Football". There is NO Raiders #RN4L on that Game in fact it doesn't mention TEAMS nor does it use logos. Maybe CopyRight Law? Could you Hack that game and Put My RAIDERS on it?? #RN4L I know that's asking for alot and that game don't mean much to folks it means alot for me. It was my 1st NES game I ever got. Even if you could point me in the direction on how to learn? #DIY Thank You
I stopped buying from them a long time ago, I gave them another chance at the end of may, I bought super hydorah, I still haven’t gotten it. This is the last item I will be purchasing from them as I am tired of waiting. It is a game that said in stock at warehouse and nothing yet. I rather pay a little more and get it on eBay.
We have this word "nostalgia"... but do we have a word in the English language for "tragically misplaced nostalgia for something you really shouldn't feel nostalgia for"?
I wonder if I'm older or younger than you, Crow: I can remember when video rental places had HALF A WALL taken up with redundant copies of the Sega CD game. It was a fad.
This game shall be remembered for as long as ESRB ratings exist. The two are inseparable and the moral outrage should always be remembered because it hasn't stopped since.
CAREFUL! That there game will destroy the moral fabric of society. A game so vile it required a congressional hearing, prompted the creation of the ESRB and eventually led to "Winner's Don't Use Drugs" flashing on the screen of every video game and pinball machine because video games are a slippery slope straight to hell. I have been watching the 1993 congressional hearing on video game violence recently, it's nearly 3 hours long and I can only take so much congressional idiocy at once. Believe it of not Night Trap on the Gameboy Advance is a perfect commemoration of this specific event and a very timely one too as Senator Joe Lieberman passed away recently March 27, 2024 and you found the game listed on April 1st of the same year and the specific reason this particular game in this particular format is so appropriate is because the Nintendo representative threw the entire gaming industry under the bus at this hearing trying to appear as the moral leaders of the industry and proudly proclaiming "Night Trap will never appear on a Nintendo System". Contrary to this statement Night Trap was officially released on the Nintendo Switch in 2018. Of note, I played the original Night Trap back in the day and given it was running on the CRT televisions and CD Rom technology of the era... the GameBoy Advance version of the game would be very close in video fidelity with the original version only looking slightly better.
The listing was on April 1st, 2023. It was about a year before Lieberman passed. Also, Night Trap was originally created for a VHS based game system in 1986 that was never released, so I don't really consider the original version to be for the Sega CD... it's just the first version that was actually released.
My attempt at that failed. It seems to be only dumping the menu. I don't have much experience ripping carts and I'm not sure what I need to do to actually get the video working.
@@CrowContinuumDo you happen to have a DS with an R4 cartridge lying around? If you do, perhaps using the homebrew "GBA Backup Tool" could work It basically copies the data from the GBA and transfers it directly into the r4 microsd, effectively creating a rom Might be worth the shot!
@@BraxonGG Afraid not. The Epilogue device is the only thing I have that game rip carts. That's something I'll keep in mind though. I could also see if there were issues others had with ripping those other GBA Video Carts and what the solution to that was because I'm thinking that those carts were originally tougher to rip due to how the video data was stored.
Technically speaking, almost any hardware can reproduce video if you disregard quality. You can technically play movies on the Atari 2600 these days... but it's just a novelty... you wouldn't really want to seriously watch a movie on the 2600.
