I wonder if the show has any real ties with Nintendo. I say this because I always wondered what hardware they were using to play the GBC or GBA games on the television screens. Without ties with Nintendo they would have to use a third-party solution, but I have never heard of such hardware. If I remember correctly, they had this hardware that you would insert into a N64 (it was in the shape of a gamepak) and there would be some type of ribbon-cable leading from it to the GBC the player was using. I don't know what they are doing for the GBAs though because I haven't watched the show in some time. I do remember that they were doing this (outputting video) even before I heard of those GBA modifications you can import from Japan that allow you to output the GBA video through A/V cables. They also manage to output a very clear signal (with no noticeable interlacing or other stretch effects) that the aforementioned modification is famous for.
Anybody have thoughts on how they accomplish the TV-out with Nintendo's portable systems?
After Thoughts
- You can visit them at www.videoandarcade.com
- You can actually watch a full episode online at the above link.
- Isn't it time they update that introduction? I mean, it still has WaveRace 64 in it.
- What is with the name? They have nothing to do with "arcade" at all.
