Game Boy Hacked for a Supersized Screen Experience

But why stop at streaming gameplay footage to just one Game Boy Pocket when a Raspberry Pi has enough power to stream to multiple handhelds at the same time? That realization led to kgsws wiring up nine other Game Boy Pockets in a 3×3 grid and creating what is undoubtedly the first big(ger) screen GBP experience.

Is it practical? Absolutely not. As novel as it is to see an embiggened Game Boy Pocket screen, there are huge gaps between all the panels that totally wreck the experience, not to mention the entire thing appears to be rigged up on a fragile frame made of repurposed coat hangers. Perhaps one day another hacker will take this idea one step further and build a truly supersized Game Boy Pocket using nine original displays more closely tiled, but appearances aside, it’s still cool to see people pushing the Game Boy hardware to do weird new things.
