A YouTuber has dedicated a horrible sin. In the face of the brand new technology, The Retro Future has performed PS5 video games on a Game Boy Micro.
While next-gen video games are suggesting using a 4K show or a 120Hz appropriate display screen to really admire what the brand new {hardware} has to supply, Elliot from The Retro Future determined that was a nasty concept. Instead, the YouTuber pressured the just lately launched PlayStation 5 to play on a Game Boy Micro, a Game Boy Advance and a gorgeous monstrosity: a dual-screen Game Boy Advance SP.
These horrid acts didn’t come low cost. To drive the PlayStation 5 to show on any of those Game Boy units required two totally different show adapters to translate the sign into one thing the ageing Nintendo handheld can perceive.
First, the PS5 needed to be plugged right into a HDMI to AV adapter which translated the digital HD sign into an analogue output. Then, that adapter needed to be related to a second adapter: a Mayflash video adapter that, for some purpose, permits AV video to show on a Game Boy Advance system. That second adapter price over £120.
Pushing the PlayStation 5’s video sign into the Game Boy Micro results in a surprisingly playable expertise. Unfortunately, there’s no approach for gamers to make use of the Game Boy’s built-in controls to play the PS5 however then Sony does require using a DualSense controller for that.
After switching the primary adapter to PAL output and switching off that always annoying HDCP choice within the PS5 UI, The Retro Future managed to play PS5 video games utilizing a Game Boy. Mission completed.
Check out the video of this act beneath:
All joking apart, this daisy chain of adapters and tech is a hilarious feat. However, if you wish to see an excellent funnier bloodbath of beloved retro know-how, try the identical creator’s manufacturing of an simple mechanical abomination: the twin display screen Game Boy Advance SP.
