come across the Gameboy Zero . It ’s a classical Gameboy shell with a Raspberry Pi ’s core . But the mod isn’tpurely cosmetic .
UsingEmulation Station , this Pi board is capable to play games from NES , SNES , and the Gameboy ’s many iterations all up to and include Advanced . That ’s where thing start aim tricksy , since the Gameboy had only two buttons , while posterior system used many more . Two of the screws in the back are tossed out to make room for makeshift shoulder triggers , while additional holes are drill in the front for X and Y buttons which were salvage from an SNES controller .
The coolest part by far is the custom cartridge . Some resoldering and a little piece of work with a Dremel put a fully functioning Mount Rushmore State to Micro SD adapter inside one of Nintendo ’s straight grey shells , allowing the Pi board to read it .
Additionally , the mod adds USB charging , a importantly better screen with full semblance , a much improved rechargeable battery , and a mini HDMI output in sheath you desire to play these game on a great covert .
How does all that material fit inside an old Gameboy shield ? Those first gen Gameboys were almostcriminally underpowered , not to mention that most of the infinite inside the shell was taken up by four AA batteries . The small lithium cadre helps a heap but it ’s still a tight fit .
