The Game Boy is one of the portable consoles most loved by melancholic video game fans, especially for those people who were born in the 80s or early 90s. Combining such a retro console with a latest generation tablet is A somewhat adorable combination. Let’s see how he managed Federico Viticcia master of the technological arts of MacStories, to carry out such an endearing feat.
Connecting a Game Boy Camera to the Apple iPad
Federico Viticci has acted insane madness the miracle: you have connected the Game Boy camera to the iPad to make a video call via FaceTime on iPadOS 17.
Apparently it all started when he tried to play games from the nintendo switch on an iPad Pro. He realized that through the FaceTime app he could use a webcam from the Studio Display, so he could use other devices as video source.
So took advantage of the bug and connected a Steam Deck to the iPad Pro and… voilà! Elden Ring on FaceTime. 😂
Any camera can be used with FaceTime
Finally he completed his bizarre feat connecting a Game Boy Camera to the iPad Promaking a video call from FaceTime with a pixelated video image that brings back wonderful and nostalgic memories.
Without a doubt, it is a true technological feat that, although it does not have an overly practical use, is extremely fun. We take our hats off!
