GAME BOY MiniMo - Pi3a+ with Custom PCB
Posted: Fri Apr 12, 2019 7:27 am
A few month ago I was contacted by user @rostapher from the forums. He showed me a project he had been working on that was heavily inspired by Ampersand's GB Null but featured a Pi3a+ with audio. He had the majority of the case worked out but needed help with designing the PCB and software mods. After a few iterations of his initial project, I liked to present you the results. We call it the GAME BOY MiniMo for its mobile/portable form factor yet classic minimal look.

I'm really enjoying this form factor and will probably be my go to hand console when traveling as it seems the perfect combination of size and playability
