Pre-orders are expected to start shipping mid-late July. This is subject to change based on how fast pre-orders fill and manufacturing/shipping times from the factory. We felt this would be the most straight forward way to secure funding for Cartboy. Due to restrictive battery shipping laws, we will not be providing the battery with the International Kit. The price is reduced to reflect this. Please select the correct kit based on your location. Limit one per customer until further notice. No refunds will be given after purchase. The only exception would be if we cannot complete orders on our end.
If you are looking for the DIY Tamagotchi of Game Boy zeros this is for you. Cartboy was designed with all gamers in mind.
BIG THANKS TO ALL THE AMAZING MINDS THAT HELPED GUIDE US ALONG THE WAY! Moosepr aka Pi0cket was a big leading role with creative ideas and helping us understand the SPI LCD and tons more! And Will.I.Am is helping us polish up the image so that it is custom to the handheld specifically. Cheers guys, pat yourselves on the back!
