- lowbloodsugar 2 minutes agoWas so disappointed when I realized it wasn’t a real gameboy, but then I realized someone even more of a nerd than me would take care of that and I’d just have to be patient. Only took a few days!
- robotnikman 4 hours agoI just built this set yesterday and was thinking to myself 'I wonder how hard it would be to turn this into a functioning gameboy?' Looks like I have my answer!
- ericzawo 47 minutes agoI was wondering how long it would take someone to do this.
- dom96 2 hours agoI pre-ordered this set to do exactly this. Nice to see others have the same idea.
Weirdly I only received mine today, I wonder why the difference in pre-order shipment times is so large.

- ginko 4 hours agoThe Game Boy modding scene is fascinating. You can literally replace every single part of it other than the `DMG-CPU` main SoC.
Well even that can be replaced, sorta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EccVHo-pDGI
