i really love the idea to play gameboy games on a nes i wish they should,ve officialy dit this back in the 90s for the consummer,cuzz the supergameboy more feels like downgrading,ruining the snes.
this is 1000 times cooler then averagely the supergameboy.
but i wish they had tryed to put the gb cartride connector deeper bellow inside the nes cartride to avoid the need of removing the metal bar from the nes.
i also wish they tryed to closely emulate the gameboy sound on the nes chip using an convertor chip,or just streaming & mixing the gameboy sound trough the nes pcm channel trough an adc chip,just to avoid the need of doing the nes resistor mod.
ofcourse i got more wishes like colorizing sprites and backgrounds saperately and resizing the image but they are less inportant for me.
it,s great to know that they,ve managed to sqeeze the gameboy hardware inside a nes cartride,with all the options from the gameboy.
compared to that huge,rare & expansive wideboy it was only compatible with the famicom and has no link port and has it,s own saperate controller port.
this one is a must have!!!!

xero: After I wrote this post he actually got rid of the converter board and has bought some ribbon cable to play around with. I’m sure he’d make a ProSound too if you asked him.
Stretching the image is more difficult though. I discussed it with him and it’s not something you can do trivially.

nice write up nitro. i agree, this is a really cool idea that’s not executed that well. i think this could have been a really cool kit from retrozone, that you provide the dmg for sacrifice. also, thanx for the prosound link ;D
