3D Printed PiGRRL - Raspberry Pi Gameboy 49
coop0030 (263345) writes "Celebrate the 25th anniversary of the classic gaming device, Game Boy, by building your own with 3d printing and DIY electronics. This project uses a Raspberry Pi and TFT touch screen to make an epic DIY Game Girl. The 3d printed enclosure houses all of the components and can be printed in your favorite color. It's controlled with SNES gaming controller components, reusing the printed circuit board, buttons and elastomers. The 3D files can be found on Thingiverse, and a video of the finished product is provided as well."

I've had a NES, SNES and GBA emulator on near all my personal computers since highschool. At various times I've tried hundreds of games, most of which for less than an hour.
There's 12 games I have that I play on occasion still, the only ones I ever do now. 4 are mario titles, a zelda, metroid, megaman and other franchises still out today. I _could_ rebuy most of these and be tied to the wii store, but I spent weeks washing cars to get some of those titles originally. The two I didn't own as a child, I even tracked down at pawn stores at some stage.
I don't consider myself a pirate, I'm a technologist that's managed to keep my games alive long after the hardware died. (I seem to be in the minority that managed to actually destroy these, but they joined in much of the rough and tumble with my brothers over the years)
