Back in 2000 Burger King made these cute little plastic Game Boy Color toys with analog games built-in.

Now someone’s taken one of those toys, crammed a Raspberry Pi Zero into it and turned it into a

working Game Boy Color (and more) emulator.

 

Redditor ChaseLambeth had been working on a similar project for months when he came across an

Instagram user who had managed to get three of the units up and running and was willing to sell one for $250.

 

The unit uses a two inch LCD screen and an emulator called RetroPie. Technically it can run games

other than Game Boy Color (and Game Boy Advance) titles, but with this profile it just wouldn’t feel

right. The buttons work. The sound works. Plus it’s adorable.
 

 

 

 

 

Now Neocodex, what do you think about this innovation?
Do you have interest in making something like this?
Have you worked with the Raspberry Pi before?

Raspberry Pi is a mini computer basically. It can be used for a multitude of things.

That's pretty sweet but for $250 I would have to pass

Ah looks awesome I know a couple of guys who made a arcade system with raspberry you know those machines you'd find at coffee shops. Pretty much get a monitor, install mame32 and build the rest manually. Tomorrow I'll post some pictures. Looks really awesome and retro

I found it. It literally has it's own special version of Minecraft!

Knowing nintendo, it could happen. But if it is easy enough, and it really probably is, you could make your own, you would just need a case with a monitor that would work well enough if it had enough space to drop in a raspberry pi then program it to have the emulator.

It seems like it would be a fun project to do. Also raspberry pi is a computer system that is super cheap, 5 bucks and it is as strong as computers from early 2000s. It can run Windows xp!

I remember a few months ago it was in a huge demand. Had no idea it was still like that o.0 There must be some reseller with stock. Maybe they are overpricing it due to the demand which sucks :\

Like I only need the Pi Zero, I have everything else. There are people with the full pack. But that ups the price a lot.

You could try ebay as a last resort i guess

Naw, the only time they would probably send him a cease and desist letter would be if he continued to make these and sold them

This was really impressive. I wish I had the skills to make stuff like this.
