My LeapFrog Has Emulators Now 

It's a part of that authentic experience lmao

You’re weird dude

sorry that's part of the premium package

Lol

You want the leapfrog battery acid

Powermac g4 cube with ssd.

Most normal sentence on a Bringus Studios video

Alan Turing would be proud of us.

"also i can play retroarch on a leapfrog"

It really do be like that sometimes

So true I saw it and instantly like my whole childhood went WOOSH

the jingle and the narrators voice made my brain fart with nostalgia

ive always followed these toys closely but never actually had one myself. i remember wanting a fee of them

I remember playing with my little brother's leapfrog long ago. I saw it as a potential emulation station, I just couldn't figure out how to jailbreak it since I didn't have my own to tear apart and read the circuitry to potentially find a security error

I still have original leap pad, leapster, and the weird pen thing, but I had a platinum that my parents ended up giving to my cousin since I “didn’t use it anymore”. I tried to get it back a few years ago, but never found it. It probably got flushed down the toilet at some point knowing my brat of a cousin

Imagine playing bad apple on a leapster 🧍‍♀️

that's actually so funk'n cool.

You should do a video on it! Espcialy be intresting to see the internals of a prototype unit

@@Eaten_squid_cake touhou fans try to not think of running bad apple on everything

Lol

How I feel building a PC with AMD CPU

Fr even putting homebrew on my wii

@@Jetanium tfw no one asked for agreed🤡

@@Weneedaplague just like your opinion? 🤡

Hilariously, it already ran Linux. People just flashed a better version of Linux onto it.

Linux is on more platforms then doom at this point

@@Wheagg if it runs linux it runs doom :)

@@lordkaczuha4598 not if it's Linux on PS3 CELL architecture tho

@@Wheagg how do you know that? and even so ps3 by itself runs doom so still

Totally!

I want þis

I've been trying to get one to work, as I'm sure it was a distro of flash.

@@crashmat1042 no way an actual þorn user in þe wild! hello fellow þorn fan!

Add that shit to emudeck and run it on my steam deck. Gotta learn to count to 4 in between league matches

Has hardly 1ghz of CPU power and pulls this off. Im quite amazed too. Must have pretty high IPC to make up for that though, pretty neat.

It's almost as powerful as a switch

Why would you not expect it to play PS1 games let alone GBA? My n3ds is definitely weaker than this machine but it handles most ps1 games pretty perfectly.

@@mohamedaminekhadhraoui6417 the n3ds can play ps1? holy molly

@@sr.metang8193 yeah the new 3ds models will play ps1 either through retroarch or converting the ps1 rom to a .Cia file and launching from the home screen

It sounds like a sentence you hear before you take someone to go get tested for dementia or something.

And replace the AAs with an internal battery

@@Bane_Amesta The fact that the power supply is separated actually makes doing that an extreme chore, but it'd be nice

@@Bane_Amesta Maybe use an external power bank with a USB to DC converter cable? It’s by no means the ideal solution, but in theory it should be good enough for gaming on the go. 🤔

@@samuelpierce2.088 maybe a ghetto setup with a small portable charger with a skinny little built in dc converter cable running out to the power port. It would be pretty jank and ghetto, but it would get the job done

@@Bane_Amesta Why not use rechargeable lithium AAs?

I had the original green one when I was a kid, man the memories of learning math with Sonic X lmao...

I had the fat green one with spongebob, but i recently bought one at a goodwill it came with dora

The first LeapFrog I had was closer to a Game & Watch than a Gameboy Advance 😬😬😬

yeah i had the green leapster explorer that i would play lots of Penguins of Madagascar on and surprisingly i still have the leapster too bad i can no longer play on it without putting it on the charger or it'll die

I had a Dora one

oh thats pretty cool

Yoshi Story SNES? I think you meant Yoshi's Island.

Yeah, I learned this the hard way when emulating SNES games on PSP. It ran some games great, but had so many slow downs with DKC2 and SMW2. SNES emulation on PSP isn't really worth it imo.

FYI F-Zero didn't use enhancement chips, it was stock SNES. You're probably confusing it for Super Mario Kart which used the DSP-1

@@VexAcer F-Zero used the SuperFX, the SNES cant do polygonal math with any amount of speed that you would want to even try playing a game with by itself

no you didnt

@@horatio2560 ??

​@@TheoHiggins owned

​@@horatio2560 bro reads minds or smth.

When I was a kid "leapfrog" was a game we played in the park where we jumped over each other.

@EnriTheGamer my Nan eventually came in to save the day and got me a DS lite the next year.

its 1024x768 right thats what the specsheet says

What's with every dad being tech savvy

​@@RareSunYou gotta expand your horizons in this world if you wanna stay relevant within it. Plus, hobbies are just a good thing to have.

What are you smoking. You were the lucky one.

Same

@@trashtrash2169 mine works really well too!

they have mono audio

@@namesurname4666 Under Linux they have stereo audio now. Also you can install a janky thing to recover stereo audio under Windows. Someone figured out what the problem was, i think it might have been marcan42 from the legendary Team Twiizers. They had a hardware bug with sample start which would occasionally cause the two channels to jump and swap places, so they papered over it by re-declaring what should have been a 48KHz stereo audio into 96KHz mono, with a last minute USB descriptor change. And the samples for the two channels just come interleaved, so when the audio is downsampled to 48KHz or less, the aliasing suppression filter in the downsampling algorithm ends up averaging the two streams to true mono. With sufficient workarounds in USB driver stack, you can fix the sample start issue, and then you just have to re-interpret the data the way it was originally intended. Macrosilicon probably would have considered respinning and fixing the chip for real, but given it was the silicon shortage era and thus massive supply issues, they would have likely been unable to launch the IC at all had they done that, soooo off it went being manufactured buggy like that. And after all even the way it was, the chip was an adequate enough substitute for Camlink, so it was useful enough. Even then they kind of kept it on the down low and uncharacteristically didn't advertise the chip or publish the specs for the longest time. People have mixed mileage with the hardware though. It can be either reliable or die in 2 hours, seems it might have some silicon quality issues or cooling related, these sorts of things.

you're a legend

Hello me

Godspeed madman

.

Side note, fix your corrosion issue before it spreads.

The things specs arent far off from a god damn 3ds actually which is impressive

@@laggianput Except for probably the GPU and 3D capabilities that thing could probably run most PSP and 3DS games.

128 mb of ram my compumter 64 gb

Yeah he realised that

Yes, that was painfully obvious to anyone with a brain.

No way dude how did you figure that out u r so smartttt

It'll be funny if the password is just leapfrog.

Had one as a kid, don't. Buy a psp or something if you want a handheld.

@@tobanmyastan2628 its just for the fun of it. I already have every model of psp.

@@RisingRevengeance Fair enough.

Same, I want to play Mr pencil saves doodleburg in HD

@@HL09 SAME I HAD THAT GAME BUT SOLD IT!

The DIDJ actually kicked off emulation on leapfrogs IIRC

@@BringusStudios Oh, I meant if an emulator *of* the DIDJ existed.

@@BringusStudios getting this to actually work looked like torture , , , Kudos to you for your hard fought success 👍👍👽

@@erc3338 I did preserve the game files for all of them and get video captures of a few games. Sadly, Didj looks really complicated to emulate.

@@idoghacker8008 Sad.

After your time.... OMG ARE YOU A GHOST?!👻😨

@@dizzyneurin4654 Nope I just wasn't in the age set at the time lol. 😂

These are for like 4 year olds....

@@Alcoholic_Nerd and here you are like the rest of us

@@Alcoholic_Nerd A little backstory - the school I went to gave out progress reports almost every week. I missed one assignment but turned it in late due to being sick which took my grade down to an F. My parents were strict and when it came to videogames, my grades had to be damn near perfect for me to play them. I asked for a GBA for Christmas but they saw that F on my progress report and ended up getting me a Leapfrog. They gave the GBA to my youngest brother.

@@Noname-um1fs I'll watch anything involving modding, coding or emulation in general. Also my daughter had one when she was 4 or 5, she's 17 now but giving one of these to a 13 year old is appalling. I already had a frigging job and paying rent by the time I was 13 ffs....

But like, why? It'd be better to just convert the HDMI into Composite outside the console and run it into a CRT since HDMI is lossless. Who am I kidding, I'm commenting this on a vid where a guy runs RetroArch on a Leapfrog Explorer.

@@shanez1215 Those adapters add artifacts to the picture

No, no. You're correct. It's "Ooo-boon-too"
