‘Tenet’ Crammed onto Game Boy Advance Cartridge

Well, if you have plenty of time to do nothing, then why not do some ‘hacking’ and fit the entire ‘Tenet’ film onto 5 Game Boy Advance cartridges 😀

Taken from EngadgetYouTuber Bob Wulff, who runs the WulffDen channel, to stuff the time-bending blockbuster onto Game Boy Advance Video cartridges. Wulff freely admits this is “quite possibly the worst way to view Tenet.” He split the movie across five cartridges because it’s two and a half hours long. According to Wulff, “30 minutes is the maximum time you can have for a Game Boy Advance Video [cartridge] and still have it in somewhat of a watchable state.” He even made custom labels.

 

 

There are tradeoffs, of course. Wullf had to crush the video down to six frames per second with a resolution of 192×128 and a whopping 8 KB/s bitrate. The software Wulff used also speeds up video by a third by default. The result is not exactly the pristine IMAX cinema experience Nolan would have hoped for. Many viewers already found it hard to hear much of the dialogue in Tenet due to the questionable sound mix, so can you imagine trying to watch the film with a GBA speaker?
