That'd be so awesome to have one of those xD. It's not practical, but it's pretty cool, lol.

how is that running xp its just a mobo stuffed in a gameboy

 

[carnageX]

It runs off of a Compact Flash card that gets put in through the cartridge slot on the GB.

I know that . I'm just saying it's a pretty neat thing. Didn't say it was revolutionary or anything =\.

it looks fake because that is the original gameboy from 1989 which has only a gray scale screen yet we see color in the picture

 

[saltynay]

there is no screen........

The screen is taken out. You have to hook it up to an external monitor to see what you're doing still. The color you're seeing, are the components on the mobo. Did you read the article even, mikee? lol

You'll need to hook it up to a monitor to see what you're doing though, it looks like they ran out of room to install one into the Gameboy.

it's somewhat cool, however i find it dissapointing. it's an incomplete mod that probably wasn't that difficult. open the gameboy. gut it. mount the board.
