Batteries drained in 5 minutes
How many minutes do the batteries last?

WHO downvoted this, and why do you hate amazing things???
How heavy is that?
3 grams off from collapsing into a black hole
You’re probably thinking ew! Who would ever want that? They must have worked hard on the marketing side!
Well there was nothing better and everyone had a TV. So they had normal TV commercials for it.
What would actually happen if you used an action replay and a game genie at the same time? Would it not even be able to boot up? Would it work and just one supercedes the other? I only ever had game genie so I couldn’t test it. Does anyone know?
[EDIT]
Based on further research (read: exactly one DDG query) It appears the Action Replay is actually significantly more complex than I had guessed and functions differently enough from the Game Genie that they quite often simply cannot operate in tandem like this and can cause serious issues.
Read on if you’d like a cool story that has little to do with reality, or would like to imagine how chaining game genies might work if that was feasible :3
[/EDIT]
Based on my (admittedly not incredible) knowledge of how those devices both work, they intercept reads for specific memory addresses from the CPU and insert their own values. As long as they both weren’t set up with codes to modify the same address very little would happen, it would behave as you might expect.
If the two both had codes that modified the same address the Game Genie would “win” here since it is physically closer to CPU in the chain. It would see the address matching one of its codes and spit back its value, neither the cartridge nor the Action Replay would see the memory read occur.
No, you do not mix AR and game genie but there is a distinct absence of anything Gameboy camera/printer attachment so it’s clearly incomplete. I’d also suggest the attachment reading lamp, but I think if that magnifying attachment comes with a light that works, too. Not sure if that particular one does, though.

Remember when we all dressed like that 10 years ago?

No, that was last year.
You can almost hear the batteries draining in mere minutes.
If you think that’s bad, imagine an equivalently-accessorized Game Gear.
26 min running time per battery pack.
Imagine a stock game gear
…my game gear case carried an automotive-sized external rechargeable battery…
Ah game gear TV. Battery life meant nothing to you.
I loved that TV tuner cartridge.
Had a pair of NiCad battery packs in the end - folks got sick of buying the ‘good’ alkaline batteries for it. Always had one on boil while the other was draining.
“one on boil” is such a good expression for charging batteries. Stealing that.
I think one of those attachments are actually for a 12V 70Ah car battery
A game genie and action replay on one unit? I seem to recall that being a very bad idea.
You might brick your game, but that’s a small price to pay for electronic gaming dominance.
Gaming in the 90’s was so glorious.
That Gameboy watch really sells it.
Noticing it only after parsing the rest of the setup made me giggle a little bit.
Rad!
