This Modder Has Put ‘Tenet’ On A Game Boy Advance To Annoy Christopher Nolan

The pandemic has been a bit of a movie-night killer, hasn't it? Due to safety precautions and concerns, indoor spaces and spaces where you could potentially come into contact with individuals from other household have been temporarily closed including cinemas. Sitting in a room with, like, a hundred other people all breathing the same air for two hours is a recipe for spreading disease which is why it was such a problem when Christopher Nolan, director of, Inception, The Dark Knight Trilogy, and more said that people should go to theatres to see his new film - Tenet.

Nolan had previously said, "This is a film whose image and sound really needs to be enjoyed in your theatres on the big screen" - encouraging people to go into theatres to see the film yet potentially contracting or spreading Covid-19. Not the best advice in the world and he later reiterated his stance - Deadline quotes "I think of all the films that I've made, this is perhaps the one that is most designed for the audience experience, the big screen experience. This is a film whose image and sound really needs to be enjoyed in your theatres on the big screen".

So, this guy Bob Wulff- Wulff Den on YouTube - decided that the correct response to Nolan's comments was to find a way to put the entirety of Tenet on a Game Boy Advance "out of spite". The video shows not only what the movie now looks like at blocky low resolution, low FPS on the handheld console, but also how Wulff Den managed to pull the project off.

It required quite a lot of software, sketchy websites, old forum posts, and some hardware but Wulff does, in fact, get Tenet to work on Game Boy Advance. Don't fast forward though as it will probably crash. And yes - it looks like crap and barely plays like a film at all which is kind of hilarious.


The end result meant that the film fits on five different cartridges - all decorated with stills from the film, making them look like real Nintendo approved videos. Five because the film is two and a half hours and the YouTuber mentions you can only get about 30 mins of footage on one of the cartridges with it still looking watchable.

You can watch the entire video of how Wulff completes the project here because above all, it's incredibly impressive.
