I think it's pretty nifty that it will run the original native environment for coding. I'd really like to see its proposed specs and architecture.

 

It's going to have USB, HDMI, SD Card, original cartridge mount (Maybe support for the oldschool accessories?)

1541 drive emulation

The SID chips will come piggybacked in the stock model which is awesome for music.

Fully open source equipment too.

Game Boy Zero

by wermy · 20 days ago

Pi label

Printed out a label onto a sticker, and laminated. Looks great! Honestly looks very close to a legit cartridge label.

Wiring up the cartridge reader to the SD card pads on the back of the Pi Zero.

Booting up the Pi through the SD card cartridge for the first time...

It works! I found that when I had the case closed up (which caused the card reader wires to be pressed up tightly against other stuff), the SD card reader was pretty unreliable. It would fail to boot sometimes, give read errors when loading big games, etc. I added some shielding around the SD card reader wires though, and it's been rock-solid since then.

Would be even cooler if the gameboy port actually worked with original gameboy games. ;) The current hack is pretty cool though.

He's a member of the Sudomod forum and has been posting step-by-step TuT's on how to do it. Someone else took his 4 button arduino hack and redesigned it into a new PC board that makes installation more easier and elegant.

 

So far there's two video TuTs on it from what I can find.
