RiotGrrls game too, apparently.

If you haven’t seen it by now, here’s the hardware hack that’s been posted showing how to make a cartridge-free GameBoy that plays games from the original Nintendo Entertainment System. The designers have lovingly dubbed it “The GameGrrl.”

Working on my thesis…when I really just wanted to play some Arkanoid. Unfortunately, my original NES was busted a long time ago (blinky), and furthermore I didnt even have a TV. Lucky for me I had a couple things kicking around my workbench that did the trick. This is a design for a very simple, very inexpensive portable Nintendo gaming system with built in games. Theres no provision for cartridges, but its comfy to play.

The assembly involves some soldering, so those of you who have never handled a soldering iron (like me) may want to do some research first.
