Hey guys! I finally finished my video, which includes a look into the mew machines! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huiCsOIsHwg&list=PLbyXgDzUPi-feIgbPhYGCDgE9FLYIPT5E&index=12 Any support there is appreciated. Essentially, here is what I gathered from my conversation with Jeremy... There was no straight up Super Nintendo Super Gameboy (not to say the technology wasn't the same). He seems to think that the mew machines were unique hardware/software mashups and did not include an actual game cart inside. The port where you would insert your game into would, rather, use a modified GB link cable from a piece of software from the machine (again, he thinks it wasn't an actual cartridge but may have had the same basis) and send the Mew to an empty slot in your party. The display on the screen and all that jazz, he believes, were simply that, a display video, and not actual in-game play. The Super Nintendo controllers attached to the machine were simply to control the options for the machine. Also, the certificates would then have just been printed off to the side, and the attendant would sign them with the OT you received. He chuckled a bit thinking of the OTs and how they didn't really matter back then, they were totally random ones spit out by the machines. Hope you all find this interesting! :) Thanks! - Cody

Super interesting! I have actually been looking for a way to print a faux certificate for my project but haven't found any info on cardstock or printing method, etc. That's cool! Yeah should be wrapped and posted Tuesday, I can update here as well :)

Hey all! I didn't have time to read EVERYTHING above, but I wanted to weigh in on this exciting conversation! I am currently editing a video for our Pokemon Project on YouTube (EveryGameEver) and I recently had a long conversation with Nintendo rep Jeremy Hepworth on this topic! He agrees that there is not any sort of SGB/2 SNES inside. Rather, it is proprietary software with a modified GB link cable that distributes the Mew to your game if you have an empty party slot. The SNES controller was simple the joystick used for the machine. He said there was no cartridge inside the Mew machines either, and that they were overall slightly smaller than the Arcade1Up tabletops you find in stores. I of course asked where Nintendo buried them, he said they are most definitely in a storage warehouse collecting dust lol. I just thought I would share this awesome conversation I got to have with him. Look for my vid next week! - Cody
