Stop Skeletons from Fighting got 16 Player Faceball working on Gameboy (m.youtube.com)

The video goes over Derick’s 2 year obsession with trying to get Faceball 2000 to work with 16 player multiplayer.

In short it works. But the video is well worth the watch as it goes in detail on why it hasn’t happened before.

I was beginning to fear the channel ran it's course, this looks amazing. I hope it's a sign Uncle Derek hasn't ran out of topics yet.

Hope Unlce Derek is having some success with that video. He fell on some hard times.

I don’t care about faceball 2000 but I want to see Uncle Derek, so I will absolutely watch it

I genuinely forgot about this guy. This is just awesome.

Before watching the video, I have to say that I have heard of a 4 player adapter tap for the Game Boy, so maybe he's using more than one of it to get this all going.

Nope, dasie chaining multiple link cables. Apparently 4 player adapters only work with 4

Welp, I did get my answer eventually once I went far enough in the video.
