Would you like to get rid of multiple remote controls at home? Why buy one if you have some brain. As housing an old Nintendo GameBoy could be perfect choice where you already have buttons and Graphical LCD in place.

Only simple add-on made of IR transceiver and ATtiny44 has to be attached to GameBoy port that converts received IR data in to serial that can be sent (and received) to GameBoy Advance. Adapter is compatible with all 38 and 36KHz devices. Remote signals can be sampled directly from original remote controls and recorded in memory. Then commands can be sent via nice Graphical interface. Is it convenient enough – you decide…

Are you bored with all the Nintendo Gameboy and you would like to try something exhilarating and interesting? Well, if you have the determination and dedication, then you must try to build this Weeboy!

Weeboy, which it is also known as the advanced portable color tilt-controlled video game system, wasn’t depending on any stationary displays or external power sources. Its features on novel tilt-based control.

The main purpose of this project is to show that a complete portable video game system could be easily developed with an affordable! By pulling altogether a handful of low-cost parts and building the system yourself, you can easily built a complete programmable portable console with less than $70 per piece!

The Weeboy is going to runs on a single 9V battery and features tilt-based control, monophonic sound and three playable games (Well, you can add more games later on!). The reason why Weeboy get its name, because it combines all the coolest features of the Nintendo Gameboy Color and the Nitendo Wii!

If you’re confident enough with your development, then you can also turn this Weeboy as the X’mas present to your family and friends. They’ll be very appreciated with your DIY gift!

Do you always have the dream to build up your very own games, but you don’t have the natural born talent to do so? Well, with some little help from this Meggy Jr RGB, your dream will come true in just a second!

This Meggy Jr RGB is a new kit, where it allows you to design as a platform to develop pixel games. It is based around a fully addressable 8×8 RGB LED matrix display. Beside that, it features six fat red buttons for the retro feel game play!

The kit is fully driven by an ATmega168 microcontroller, which it enables you to write your very own games or you can control it through the Arduino development environment.

One of the unique features of Meggy Jr RGB is that it is designed to be mounted inside a “handle set,” where it can be a wooden or plastic case. This feature is definitely safer and more pleasant to hold than a bare circuit board!

Furthermore, you can also make, modify and customize your own handle sets to suit your own taste if you want. These are life faceplates in that you can switch whenever you want.

In overall, Meggy Jr RGB is fast, programmable, open source and hackable stuff that is fun to develop!

If you’re one of those gameboy lovers and you always have passion want to try something new here, then you’ve come to the right place!

For your information, today’s main theme is how to make an open source gameboy. You must be wondered, “Why should I waste $250 for develop an open source gameboy, instead I can buy 10 used gameboy on eBay easily?” Well, it sounds non-sense to you here, but once you’ve learned how to DIY a gameboy, you’ll be pleased of what you’ve done here!

This Open source Gameboy is an Arduino-based, DIY GamePack is sort of like the Mignon Game Kit, but it is definitely looks much better and cooler. With only $249.93, you can have all these parts: CPU, “inputshield” customizable, vibrating controller, button component, “TouchShield Stealth” OLED display unit, and “MeCap” lithium battery pack.

All you have to do here is try your best to assemble all the parts together and you start the game adventure right away! The only problem is this is still a blank slate with little more than code for a color-changing dot to start with. IF you want to play any games on this new Gameboy, then you’re going to write your very own game codes!

When I was still a teenager, I used to fascinate about the GameBoy and I spent countless money on the GameBoy equipment and games. Although I had already grown up, but I still have the same feeling about the GameBoy…

Well, for those of you that also owning GameBoy here, then today will be your lucky day, as you will learn how to create an incredible “ArduinoBoy”!

For your information, ArduinoBoy is the magnificent combination between the Arduino and GameBoy. ArduinoBoy is software for the Arduino hardware platform, which it allows serial communication (MIDI) to the Nintendo GameBoy for awesome music applications, such as LittleSoundDJ, Nanoloop and mGB!

Meanwhile, you should know something about the mGB. This mGB is a GameBoy cartridge program, where you will need a Flash Card and transfer handware to enable the GameBoy to act as a full MIDI supported sound module. Beside that, it also compatible with the old DMG Gameboy and GBC/GBA as well.

However, there is no interface as of yet so all sound parameters in this moment are fully addressed via MIDI.

Here is the video clip of this ArduinoBoy and hope you will enjoy it!

Cheers.
