If this keeps up, that trope of CSI's "enhance, zoom, enhance" will become reality.

My question (which may or may not be answered in the post): what made you embark on this project?
I don't mean "because I can" stuff - it's an awesome hack. What I mean is: what made the Gameboy Camera culturally relevant for you to hack on? What ideas started this? Did you own a Gameboy Camera in your youth? Did you have a fantasy of something like this then?

#24> Error establishing a database connection Another reason why static website generators are great. Anyone got a mirror?
The reddit.. er, HN hug of death

#25Seems similar to "super-resolution" algorithms. Some of those also use neural networks.

#27For anyone else trying to pull gb camera images as well as other gameboy saves off their carts.. I used this arduino shield!! https://www.insidegadgets.com/projects/gameboy-cart-shield/
It works really well :D

Except instead of enhance you have "Make up something based on your training set".
Our brains kind of do that a lot anyway
I wonder which is better, actually. On the one hand, a lot of people will swear that what their internal pattern matcher produces is reality (although people with training tend to know that you can't put that much stock in it). So maybe the output of a computer will feel a little less real to laymen.
But I kind of doubt it. I have a feeling that, for example, it's going to be difficult to explain to a jury that the image that the computer spat out from eight pixels on a security feed is not reliable – that any resemblance they see to the defendant is simply not relevant. If an artist took those eight pixels and drew a picture, they'd be laughed out of the room. If a computer does it, people primed by shows like CSI might think that it's actually valid.
Maybe you can appeal to people's common sense, and show them the original input. A crafty defense might show alternative "enhancements" based on non-face training sets to drive the point home. But in the end, we're probably going to need to ban this kind of technology as evidence to avoid confusing jurors.

It has, almost, pretty close.

It's a shame you got downvotes for a polite, friendly, question. (I upvoted you but it doesn't seem to have made much difference).

> Back in 1998, the Gameboy camera got the world record as “smallest digital camera” in the Guinness book of records. An accessory you could buy was the small printer you could use to print your images. When I was 10 years old we had one of these cameras at home and used it a lot. Although we did not have the printer, taking pictures, editing them, and playing minigames was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I could not find my old camera (no colored young Roland pictures, unfortunately), but I did buy a new one so I could test my application.
