3D Printed PiGRRL - Raspberry Pi Gameboy

coop0030 (263345) writes "Celebrate the 25th anniversary of the classic gaming device, Game Boy, by building your own with 3d printing and DIY electronics. This project uses a Raspberry Pi and TFT touch screen to make an epic DIY Game Girl. The 3d printed enclosure houses all of the components and can be printed in your favorite color. It's controlled with SNES gaming controller components, reusing the printed circuit board, buttons and elastomers. The 3D files can be found on Thingiverse, and a video of the finished product is provided as well."

Then don't pirate Mario games. Instead, download homebrew ROMs, some of which are free open source software.

Not to burst your bubble, but there's a reason people download Mario ROMs and other such popular games: they're actually enjoyable. I've seen the open source stuff and it's between average and miserable.

Underpowered? The Gameboy had a 4.19MHz Z80-like chip. You could happily emulate it on a 66MHz 486 without taxing the host. The ARM11 in the RPi is massively overpowered for this use! I don't really understand what the feminism you're seeing here is.
