I've never seen one in that kind of box before. Each window is a little look into Hell.
Pop Station Hell.
Literally thought this was one of your videos when it first popped up in my recommendations.
The big boy himself!
There he is!
It sure is!
Beware Dank, Ashens might bust into your warehouse for this...
he’ll just hide in the donkey van. it’s impenetrable, remember?
If a brown couch appears in your warehouse, you might have some infestashens.
An excellent comment.
@@TheRoyalCheez And, apparently, not running at the moment. Or at least running badly.
Make sure they don’t appear
the battery hanging out of the game childs rear feels like the equivalent of a colostomy bag
The things on life support
This is like the beginning of Iron Man where Tony woke up with a giant magnet in his chest wired to a car battery.
Idk how to explain it but this video wouldnt be the same without this comment, this is like the encore of the weirdass humor
Love that James is becoming more prevalent in the dankpods extended universe. The dynamic between you two is truly a joy.
Just need him to show up in The Drum Thing and we should be all good. Maybe a nugget mounted drum kit.
James wealth of knowledge is unmeasurable. He is honestly the Aussie Mcgyver
Who's mcgyver also I live in Australia too
mhm
@@Lensandwander bruh you’re too young. I’m 17 and i know what that is
I don't care about all those silly and exaggerated and unrealistic super hero movies. We need a real life james movie and it would be the best hero movie of all times.
I did not know you could solder directly onto a battery lol
James is probably the first person to ever refurbish an Interchangeable Game Child
Possibly even the only
@@AltName7 there’s one other video (checked google at the beginning trying to figure out wtf this was)
@@Norinia who made it? Dank Pods really needs to make a gameboy video.
Technically he also modded it to run regular batteries
Probably some Chinese guy 30 years ago.
"Interchangeable child" sounds like a worse way to say "joint custody"
When your custody agreement papers are in chinese.............translated to english.
@@Thatonefuckinguy lol
@@FoxBlocksHere Shizoposting
I like how James comes off as a big brother fixing a game for his younger brother.
F for the PKcell that was permanently attached. your sacrifice brought whole seconds of joy
PKcell: "Good soldiers follow orders."
And so they do, performing any task asked of them. No matter what madness they get involved in.
At least it wasn't a greeny
@@Schnort I think the greens have all fallen in long, loyal service. F
He could be saved.. It's really not a good idea but he could
F
That journey to fix the game child was one of the most epic things I’ve seen ever
Dankpods and the Quest for the Interchangeable Game Child
Omg I had completely forgotten about that, thank
It's probably the second most epic quest for a Game Child ever conceived of
The Quest for The Game Child part 2
8:50 YOU DIDN'T RESET BETWEEN GAMES. Press the ACL(AllCLear) button. Should reset.
It detects what game is inserted on powerup and switches to that gamemode. The CPU still believes Submarine is playing when the screen/cartridge is detached.
This won't make the games any more fun however.
I was thinking the same... There's probably some jumper contacts in the "games" that the IC uses to detect what game it should "run".
How do you know that?
Not every day you see something this unique. I think this is the single most effort anyone's ever put into getting one of those to work.
Including the manufacturer
@@krzysztofczarnecki8238pfffffffffffffft
If Ashens is true neutral, DankPods is chaotic neutral
...and HowtoBasic is chaotic evil.
I feel like Ashens can't be true neutral with all of the incredibly out of date food he has but I'm not sure what he would be
@@mychemicalbromance97 his entire person gives off true neutral vibes
Ashens is that one guy in the friend group who's just always chill and sorta apathetic to what's going on around him. If the world was ending in front of him, he'd be like 'oh alright fair enough'
And when he switched the oven on forgetting he stores motherboards in there...
@@mychemicalbromance97
You and James messing around with nuggets is honsetly what Dank pods needs to do more of. You two are great on garbage time together, and James and you just messing with stuff is fantastic. Plz more like this
ikr
The most amazing thing in this video is that Wade actually said "triple-A" (battery) instead of yelling into the mic.
I love James accidentally being dragged into it, "I wanna see it working TOO!"
"it's in competition with ur kitchen clock and a pencil" this made me laugh harder than I like to admit.
That's a bit generous, you could make a sundial 😂
The difference is that the kitchen clock and the penil are working and serving a purpose. The game child is not. It just exists for no reason.
And I don't even have a kitchen clock.
rest in peace, soldered pkcell. You went from a masterpiece of a battery to a fire hazard in a matter of minutes.
You could say, it soldered on.
@MacPhantom LMAO
Was always a fire hazard. Just not connected to a PK device
I don't think it's a fire hazard.
Everyone should be so fortunate to have a James in their life.
7:44 ahhh we all need james in our life
The overlap between the audience of Dankpods and Ashens is amazing and I love all of you.
Well, both channels look a shit tech
"An excellent crossover"
We love you too ❤
The Disembodied Hands Cinematic Universe
@@Jwlar gotta add TheRelaxingEnd to this then
5:40 the Game Child is ahead of its time, they've been doing the Ubisoft Formula thing decades before Assassin's Creed was a twinkle in Jade's eye.
Damn, they should sue those frenchies for stealing their ip.
The whole fixing sequence was the equivalent of a kid watching his dad fix the TV for them-
My favorite handheld never gets recognition, i love my Game Child. Space War and City Fighter are so innovative.
Wow, that was a whiff of nostalgia I probably didn’t need. I actually HAD an Interchangeable Game Child! I reckon it was 1995 and I was in hospital having my appendix out. My Mum said she would buy me a present to cheer me up while I recovered. She asked what I wanted and I hinted that I’d like a Game Boy, knowing that might have been a stretch money wise but remaining hopeful anyway. Imagine my disappointment when she returned to the hospital with… the Game Child!
I think it worked as well when it was new as yours does a couple of decades later. James has definitely spent more time and effort on it than it ever deserved but it was worth it for the hilarious teardown!
hahahah nice story your mom is so sweet hahaha and a boomer but its fine since your mom tried her best understanding you want ahhaha
Awwww she tried her best!!!
You mean it worked as good as this one before or after the Repair?😂
@@Firestar-TV Does it even matter? was there a difference when it was repaired?💀
@@vivosarma6977 i mean at least the thing actually works now but its sorta stretching it considering it's basically the equivalent of having your heart just flopping around coming out of your ass
Is there anything James can't fix?? What a legend, most of us can only dream of having a James in our lives
That really was impressive.
There was that one Nano he couldn’t fix but apart from that, the man has been able to fix so much.
@@bigbangbot-SuperSqank He wasn't even allowed to fix it lmao
@@bigbangbot-SuperSqank the nano was overcooked
He can't fix your relationship with your father. :(
the absolute dizzying joy in " *GAME CHILD Y E S S S S S S S* " is never going to leave me...
I genuinely laughed out loud when I saw that they didn't even bother to cap the chip.
Ashens would be proud that you found a donor to give life back to the game child
My very FIRST thought was "Right, we found ourselves the Aussie version of Ashens. Alright, I'm game". And the video did not disappoint 😁 Woohoo for more bootleg tat in the future! 🥳
4:17 JAMES
I had a knockoff Tiger 100-in-1 game thingy. It was mostly card games that I didn't understand how to play, and one racecar game, except the racecar was made of playing cards because they was all the screen could display!
The Ashens crossover inches closer day by day. New Popstation Watch is lookin' sharp!
No way, deadwing man
OHH OHH CROSS OVER OF A CENTURY
Oh shit claw man
bork
Soon.
James just riding off on his own little adventure to get the dumb thing working, even tho he had other stuff to do, says a lot of great things about the kinda mate he is.
If I actually used IG, I'd definitely check him out.
I had to replace the cell batteries of a collectible I had just bought the day after I saw this video, and the "pull out the contact strip with a pair of tweezers" trick you do here actually saved what might have been a bricked toy.
The strip was a bit too far away to make consistent contact, and pulling with tweezers made the contact 100% consistent. So thanks so much for that!
This may have been one of my favorite videos in a while. James is always a welcome addition.
Always when I see these absolute ship wrecks of nuggets I think to myself that somebody with a decent amount of money thought to themselves "I'm gonna make these", hired product designers, developers and genuinely went through dozens of phone calls (contacting factories, etc.) without ever coming to the realisation that this might be a bad idea. Impressive!
considering that i am pretty sure you can still buy these things today, they must be making some amount of money. being sold for MUCH more than they take to build
It’s marketed to the “impoverished-parent” demographic that most low-priced tech like this caters to. Parents can’t justify buying electronics for themselves, but they’ll pay a price for something to occupy their kids and make them happy.
@@Thobeian yeah, it sucks that they're such an absolute scam even for the price
This is a fate better than any Game Child could have hoped for
This is a fate better than most electronic devices could have hoped for. It didn't even get gritted, either.
From chainor 💀
@@orionthehuman lmao that's exactly what I thought of
@@orionthehuman This is such a knockoff even the country it was MADE in is a knockoff.
He should return it to the AWESOME STORE lol
this brings back nostalgia thank you for making these vids, good luck reaching 2 million subscribers.
1:41 sounded like mario for a second
KÜK
James busting out a whole dang soldering iron and using it on a AA battery was wild as hell
"I think all this video is gonna do is gonna bring out how many Ashens fans there are"
You're absolutely right and I love how right you are.
The amount of effort you guys put into it is hilarious
“NO WAY! You got me a game… child?”
3:07 😂 when he literally SCREAMS ‘GAME CHILD!!’ 😂😂😂
Always a treat to see James save the day
7:21 the fact that it woke up during the operation just straight up scared me
Came up randomly in my feed, automatic 👍🏻for the Ashens reference. Was a good watch, will keep an eye for more.
Holy shit it's come full circle, Ashens DankPods is now the crossover we need and deserve!
Couldn't have said it better myself!
Ashens, Dankpods, Michael MJD, Smoorez cross over
I immediately thought of Ashens. It's good that you're self-aware enough to know who the true Game Child Master is. 🤣
I had one of these as a kid! Honestly it was the best thing. Like, I was so grateful
You know what's one of my favourite things about you and your channel... Your drumming, humour and making great points of products you're reviewing! ❤
Keep going with your great videos, personality and more! ❤ (I'm from Australia too)
Never in my life did I imagine we'd see Quak-Quak again... You absolute nugget legend.
hell yeah the duck
Seeing Dank join Ashen's Quest for the Game Child is unexpected but pleasant. How wonderful for them to show support for Ukraine from ages in the past.
🥺
Thanks for blessing us with more James content
Oh, man two of my favorite things in one place: Ashens content in a Dankpods video. Beautiful.
I'm with James on that one- the fact that this chip is just hanging out on the pcb is amazing- I was expecting just a component in a plastic package, not a bare die with loose wires! That's actually really cool:)
Kudos to James on the game child revival. Also the kickstand moment had me cackling LOL
A beep boop in the wild!
Bro there was literally a TAWOG episode based around it!!!
I’m so happy DP uploaded, he’s got my entire attention with the interchangeable game child
...I'm now dreaming of a horrible "tech tat special" collab between you and Ashens.
I NEED IT! lol
I owned one of these, but it only came with one game/screen. I biked around to every toy store in the city looking to buy more games for it, because I wanted to swap games and pretend it was a Gameboy. I was convinced if I tried the right store, there would be a large selection of games akin to a real game console.
I had the version that played soccer when I was a kid. I never saw any other games im glad I finally get to see what games it otherwise had. And as for sound it used to play "fur Elise" as the opening to the level
Ashens was my channel's inspiration, and now the dank master has gotten into it too! Everything comes full circle ❤
ayyyyyy didn't expect ya here. Hope you've been well. Loved your content from years ago
Man, I haven't watched as much of your new videos as i should, so glad you're back though
@@Roflcopter100 Hi!!!
@@tivvy2vs21 Nice to be back!
I remember watching your Neo Double games review eons ago.
Shout out to Ashens, the original reviewer of nuggets on CZcams! No joke, I created my CZcams account to subscribe to him all the way back in 2007.
0:31 It's the Clehhhhk 78
KÜK
That was an amazing recovery James did! I had a phone that I decided I'd try and change the charging port of since it was destroyed by water and couldn't charge the phone at all, and thought it would be really expensive to fix.
So opened the phone up and got to the motherboard without too much trouble, then proceeded to turn areas of the motherboard black as I struggled to use the soldering iron and heat gun! Eventually I took out the old charging port and put in a new one AND....... I still didn't work...
Just ended up buying a new phone battery and hoped it would have enough charge so I could transfer my data lol
A dank pods video to help me destress after work? Hell yeah
@Don't Read My Profile Photo Get a life.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo okay i will not read your name
7:20 "Doctor! I smell burnt toast!"
Good to see you've finally found a good use for that dirt cheap toolbox!!
I had something similar to these. Although mine had the screen divide in two, one half was for the interchangeable game, the other was just a load of pixels for bootleg Space Invaders or bootleg Tetris. This made it actually better than the Tiger version.
We all need a James. I aspire to be him someday.
10:22 - As if something that's already as _perfect_ as the _Interchangeable Game Child_ could ever be improved!
Its about the journey, not the end.
Well done James, mad lad!
Just got off the plane into Adelaide and enjoying this it's pure natural environment.
Wade exuding such little brother energy: "I wanna play it now!!"
Not gonna lie I'm an Ashens fan... especially when he eats Poundland and weird food from viewers off his awesome furniture. P=
If the Game Boy and “Game Child” exist, that empties the existence of the “Game Girl” which is basically just those extremely pink flavored ds games.
I once got a pc which had a CR2016 and a bronse coin to make it fit in the CR2032 holder. Worked fine.
James is literally the most legendary mechanic/technician/surgeon I’ve ever seen in life
If these are like the multi-games that Ashens has, each screen might have a different jumper to tell the unit that it has a different screen, and it might or might not work. Either way, you probably needed to reset it with the ACL button after changing screens.
Man I still have one of these from my childhood! I will try to fix it too.
I remember getting a game like this once and I love it (4 year old kid at the time) dad needed to do the same thing for my game but the game I remember worked with AA batteries tho. Happy memories really
I have literally described your channel as "the new Ashens" before so it's cool to see you come full circle.
The Ashens before is still excellent too, though!
@@isabellamorris7902 Oh yeah I still watch his videos a lot!
"Oi mate I'm so bored of playing the same game over and over again. OK, hold on let me just rip the display out and put another one back in... yeeeahhh that's more like it!"
Ashens and the Quest for the Game Child was a surprisingly good amateur film based on a CZcams content creator. Like, it's genuinely a decently entertaining flick even without the context. Polybius Heist didn't live up to it but I'm glad at least one of them was a winner.
I love that CZcams auto-generated the chapter as "Game Childing." It auto-generated a new word to represent the nuggettiness.
"All this videos gonna do is bring out the Ashens fans" yep can confirm I'm here
Seeing the graveyard of junk and bootlegs filled me with so much nostalgia
8:32 huh, so I'm not the only one that Sony refuses to take the money of.
Im the third one.
Congratulations on the success of the surgery on your child mate, glad to see he's doing well now
The level of dedication for a dollar nugget is incredible
I legit found this at a thrift store 2 years ago for like $7. Goofiest thing I bought. Glad to see someone finally bring this to light!
Oh man, i had one back in the 90s, actually, i had many of them, cause i was maybe 6 years old or so, and those game childs kept dying on me all the time, until my dad bought me a game boy a year later. I laughed so hard with this vid, thanks man.
Actually, I still have one of these at home... and it's still working perfectly fine. I have with car racing, motor cycle and highway
the ashens to dank pods pipe line is very strong, i’ve watched ashens for over ten years now, and dankpods for nearly two i think, it’s content of the same genre different flavor different personalities we love you both
6:17 Just what I needed: Someone soldering a battery while listening to Be Kind To Your Web-Footed Friends. My life is complete!😉
your crazy way you rervew these nuggets and bootlegs is amazing and hillarious!!!!!
Okay I love that battery cable snaking out of the battery hole. Also I wonder if the original battery would've still been good, given it was an internal connection issue....
