Description
Tad Boy Color
The Tad Boy Color is a fully custom, miniaturized Game Boy Color asking a simple question: just how small can you make a GBC while still using the original cartridges?
Using the original CPU and RAM from a Game Boy Color, nearly everything else here is built from the ground up:
- Shell that can be machined in a variety of materials
- 4-layer PCB
- Custom glass lens
- 3D printed cartridge shield, light pipe, etc
The BOM and production files for complete project assembly are available at the project's GitHub repo.
