Arduino Gameboy

I just wanted to post this to show how powerful the Arduino actually is. I mean what can it not do ? I found this project where someone had converted his Arduino with some add-ons to his own hand held console.



This shows again how much possibilities the Arduino gives to create whatever you want. Your imagination seems to be the limit here.

Matt over at Liquidware decided to build an “open source Gameboy” (known as the Gamepack) using off-the-shelf parts, including the modder-friendly Arduino microprocessor. While the Arduino may provide the brains of the operation, the 128×128 TouchShield Stealth color OLED touchscreen is most definitely the soul. Rounding out the build is an Inputshield board, which provides a tiny joystick (complete with rumble) and control buttons as well as a flat Lithium battery pack.
