By the thumbnail it looks very hipster

And from the article, way lazier than I thought it would be. He’s just got an Analogue Pocket and he’s running it through the dock via HDMI. I have an analogue pocket and a Game Boy Camera. I could, and have done this. I used to do this back in the early 00s with a SNES, Super Game Boy and a video capture card during the MSN messenger days!!!
I was expecting him to actually have something cool and technical, like wiring up proper video out to a Game Boy, but no. Just a hipster writing as if a million people haven’t already done the exact same thing.
Edit: fwiw I have actually added a native video out, VGA and composite to a stock DMG game boy before. Used a bennvenn board with a cpld. Maybe I was the true hipster all along
But a million people haven’t done that with an iPad, because until now no iPad was able to receive video input. That’s the point of the article.

Then the iPad is waaaaay behind everyone else. Like, 20 years.

I was expecting him to actually have something cool and technical That’s what I thought when I first started reading the (long) article. “Oh, how is he gonna connect that camera up to the iPad over USB? Must be some cool, custom interface.” Nope, just a bunch of off the shelf hardware connected together. Meh.

Yeah, I’m always a little disappointed when a cool title turns out to be a workaround that means the title is correct on a technicality. I guess they thought of it, did it and then wrote an article so there’s at least some effort involved.

This would make for a cool filter
