Taking Game Boy Camera pictures has never been easier!
The Game Boy Camera was a super underpowered camera add-on to the Game Boy that released in the late 90s. Even when the peripheral was new, the camera tech in it was very outdated, with all your pictures coming out in very low quality black and white pixelated images. And yet it was still awesome to play around with. The limitations also gave the photos a unique look to them, and you'll still find people playing around with Game Boy Cameras today.
Maple, over on their website maple.pet, has come up with a modern way to get that Game Boy Camera look without lugging around your OG GB and a Game Boy Camera, using an amazing filter that turns your webcam into a 4 color, pixelated GB camera! They've even put up instructions on how to use this with OBS, if you'd want to stream using this as your camera setup. It has all the options that the original did, letting you adjust the brightness, contrast, and even choose between the different Super Game Boy color palettes!
Even better, if you bring the webpage up on your phone, then you can turn your phone into a GB Camera and take pixelated pictures anywhere you want! I tried it out on a couple of things around the house in the pictures below.
I'm excited to try it while outside on some walks! I always liked the GB Camera aesthetic and this makes it easier than ever to get a close approximation while making it super convenient! Click the link to Maple's website below and give it a try for yourself!
