Funny Playing's New FPGA GameBoy Color

oct2pus, 6 months ago

Its kind of incredible how deep funnyplaying is into GB(A) replacement parts that its beginning to actually manufacture its own gameboys outright.

Can I flash custom firmware to the fpga to have a little fpga tinkering machine with screen? Is the gameboy fpga core open source?

v1605, 7 months ago

Unknown, if you want that info you should probably email funny playing directly.

So is this pretty much an Analogue Pocket with a less good screen?

v1605, 7 months ago

No, the analogue pocket does multiple systems and with shipping is going to cost close to $300. This is basically a Gameboy color with those mods and no electrolytic caps.

Edit: also no SD card, so just a pure GBC implementation to read og carts or everdrives

Can it drive higher res screens?

v1605, 7 months ago

I wouldn’t expect it too. The screen should be exactly the same as their other ips mods.

Got it, thanks. Still a cool project but I’d love a Pocket

v1605, 7 months ago

I agree, I don’t see this as a competitor to the Pocket, more like a cheaper alternative to a modded GBC
