Gameboys
« on: August 02, 2020, 10:50:11 PM »
OK, so...I was looking for a gameboy-type device for my kids and came across this:

https://www.amazon.com/JAMSWALL-Handheld-Classical-Connecting-Rechargeable/dp/B07YZ1GNKB/ref=psdc_166201011_t1_B082SX46WF

Same idea as a gameboy, just running NES games, which I think are a bit more basic.

Was wondering if anyone has seen anyone do the same thing with gameboy and/or SNES games?

For that matter, using raspberry pi, someone ought to be able to pull a similar handheld game system that can run games from literally every system ever created. That might be difficult to do on a mass market level because of copyright issues, but is anyone familiar with anything like this out there?

Look on eBay, you should be able to get them. They usually come empty due to those issues.

Retropie on raspberry pi does exactly that

Right, I'm wondering if anyone has connected that with a gameboy-style handheld device with a screen.
