And the DSi. And the 3ds had a camera too. In fact Nintendo has been fiddling with putting cameras in handhelds since 1998, and that only stopped with the release of the Switch in 2017. (Edit: Or as Mr. Janssen kindly pointed out, didn't stop with the release of the switch, as there's an IR camera in the joycon; albeit underutilized.)

Then rewire everything to some button test points. The controllers could use some unofficial "50 games in one" cartridges, and connect to a bit of perfboard.

I think the Face Training game is meant to be an anti-aging tool. You strengthen the muscles in your face to avoid saggy skin. I doubt it works, but that's probably what it's for.

Dev units are most likely region unlocked or it might have HiyaCFW installed.

Those accessories should be hardware-compatible with the GBA, it's just a matter of software. It should be possible to write a homebrew game which loads into the GBA's RAM and then uses the Arkanoid controller. If the interface is documented it shouldn't be too hard to do.

I really wanted to see what would've happened with the Standard-DS version of the Face Training game, how it would've reacted to a DSi/3DS. Would it have used the system's built-in camera like the DSi version or would it have not worked because it was expecting specifically the DS Option Pak camera?

You need to update your subscriber image at 0:05 to say 400k. Congrats also :D

I actually have face training, I’ve been waiting for this video lol

the way the camera flicks up is so satisfying

The slider might be clickable, Elliot, instead of having to press the B button every time.

@JoypadDivison

3 жыл бұрын

The spinner is not clickable... If you think about it that would have been terrible, you'd have to change your grip every time you clicked it (normally holding the spinner between thumb and index finger) and the risk of unintentionally changing position when clicking would also have been annoying. Getting the laser powerup in Arkanoid would have been the worst. It just seems weird since he who is righthanded isn't just using the D-pad to release the ball which is what any sensible person would be doing.

The Arknoid controller was also in the US. I'm aware of at least a couple Homebrew projects that supported that controller. The DSi when running a DSi mode had a faster processor and more RAM. Clearly this camera related game requires those things. Other games that work in the DSi will also work in the DS, as long as they won't require DSi mode specific features. Once DSi mode was exploited some really interesting things came about too. Like there's a very rare release of Quake II that runs on it that most people don't even know about. There's also a bunch of really nice emulators, like an Atari 5200 emulator.

I have a copy of that controller, the exact bundle in fact. If I remember correctly you can serve the ball by pressing it down, that way your hand can stay on the knob the whole time.

Face Training may not work on the Panda dev unit if it's a USA development kit. The DSi and onwards had region locking... which is also why it wouldn't load on your Char 3DS (Japan console). Cheers!

That's awesome and takes the gaming experience to a whole new level.

Always appreciate you showcasing these hidden gems man! Cheers

just wanted to say your killing it with the content man

Would've been pretty awesome if the arkanoid controller had a GBA version built in to it.

What happened with the DSi game is that you needed a Europe-region DSi or 3DS. For some reason, most DSi-enhanced and DSi-exclusive games were region locked to their region, so if you tried to play it on a North American or Japanese DSi or 3DS, it just wouldn't go. If you play them on a DS or DS Lite, those systems don't have any region locking at all, but you wouldn't get the extra speed or features from playing on a DSi, and if it was exclusive to the DSi, you'd get an error message like that. It won't appear in the menu or anything if it triggers a DSi or 3DS's region lock, if I recall. But it could be mistaken as being that the game just doesn't read. Still, it's so neat to see that accessories like these existed! The paddle especially looks like it would be so cool to play arcade-style games with.

The best thing about the paddle : SPACE INVADERS. It worked with Space Invaders and wow, that was an amazing way to play that game. It turned it into a whole new game. It makes me sad that nobody else has done a shmup with a paddle controller.

Always fun seeing all the unusual accessories. Also congratulations on the 400k!

That flex was clean lol! Nice video man! Great review and great overall presentation brother!

Super love your videos!! How slick they are, how good is the quality!! amazing!!

The DSi has a camera so I think you can play the japanese face-massaging game on the DSi with no problem. Plus, that's the reason why the camera is now obsolete.

Yoooo japan is so awesome thanks for covering these bro!

These are honestly really cool, even though new handheld iterations made them rather pointless.

Have you tried the English face training game with the camera option Pak in the DS lite?

That spinner is a great little gadget. I'm still looking for a proper dial of sorts to use for playing Tempest on the PC. Options are limited!

I wonder if that DS camera works with Pokémon B&W’s video communications

I've heard the paddle controller works with other games, including the international releases of those titles. Would you be willing to do a tear down (in the future, once the house is sorted) to see what components are used, pin layouts and whether a programmed chip is involved? I'd understand if not with such a rare and valuable item.

Love your videos Elliot. Just recently subscribed, keep up the good work man. 🤟🏻

I have the face training. You don’t have to pop out the camera to use it. The pop out is for the phat DS since gba games are flush in that system and the ds lite works without popping it out since the camera sticks out as it is.

the face training game looks like it could be a therapy tool, either that or corporate brainwashing.

Stop Skeltons From Fighting covered these a few months ago, id love to get my hands on the arkanoid controller, but yeah there a lil hard to find, finding one new in box is awsome

The Panda units from both DSi and 3DS don't run commercial DSi and 3DS games. They run every DS game however because these games had no region lock back then.

I just bought a used Aqua blue 3DS for equivalent of 10 pounds.It was a real lucky find,it just needed to be cleaned.

Best use of the Arkanoid controller is Space Invaders Extreme. It ats batteries so quickly tho. I remember some people were making rom-hacks of other DS games that didn't support it natively.

The Arkanoid game & controller bundle was available in the UK, I recall loads of them on eBay back in the day, just wish I’d bought one as they rarely crop up these days and they’re invariably expensive when they do.

Got the full boxed copy, with paddle, of Arkanoid down the the basement. Bought it back in the day, probably from NCSX, and would play it on lunch breaks at work. Good times.

I think the Arkanoid paddle also works with Space Invaders Extreme if I remember correctly.

laughing at all items getting tossed thru the video lol

I have the Arkanooid controller, I got it here in the us at Gamestop back in the day.

This is so cool!

Those accessories are extremely cool. Especially the Arkanoid paddle/spinner. Some modern Arcade1up machines don't even have nice spinners.

1st product - cool, i wonder there more controllers like that. 2nd product - this one look like it give the user's face a workout. both product - i think those are external controller for the original ds which is cool.

"Little bit of a flex, so sorry about that" Then it doesn't work, haha. Honestly I watch your vids all the time, just poking fun

Imagine if that paddle supported the Atari's Greatest Hits collections.. From what I know, the paddle only works with Arkanoid DS, Space Invaders Extreme, and Space Invaders Extreme 2.

I'm jealous you got the Taito paddle, wew

Could probably write some homebrew to attempt communication with that camera, if the protocol was known

I've wanted the paddle controller for years. It works with the bust-a-move games.

I have the Nintendo DS Internet Browser (another weird oddity) I remember buying it because of how weird it was, I actually used it on a few occasions to look up stuff about a game I was playing !

that ball game looks fun!

I would assume it pops out so it works on the original ds models where there was more plastic over the game boy slot.

Oh man, that Arkanoid controller looks awesome! The DS version was such a great game too!

So cool!

“Very rare, very expensive.” Proceeds to spin it like a fidget spinner.

the arkanoid thing actually came out here in switzerland and i used to have it!
