The gameboy is an iconic portable gaming device that most adults will probably remember dedicating hours of their childhood playing games on one. This DIY project isn't about hacking or modding an old gameboy. In this project, we're building a completely new gaming device using 3D printing, the Raspberry Pi A+ and components from Adafruit. Please note this is not a professional product! It's a DIY kit, and is great fun to build, but it may not have great emulation, video, audio etc. 3D printing allows you to design custom enclosures for your projects. The design and form factor are very much inpsired by the gameboy, but by no means meant to look exactly like it.

Our first PiGRRL project used the Raspberry Pi Model B and and Adafruit 2.8' PiTFT. In this project, we're using the Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+ and a 2.4" PiTFT HAT. The small size of the A+ and the compact display really allows this project to be one of the smallest builds yet. Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+ (does not currently work with Pi 3 A+)
