At the turn of the Millennium, Burger King handed out adorable tiny Game Boy Colors with fake Pok\u00e9mon cartridges. Sixteen years later and a modder, armed with a Raspberry Pi <\/a>Zero, has turned one of the dummy units into a working console. Paired with a two-inch display from Adafruit and Retropie’s software emulator, the title will play Game Boy Color and Advance titles with its now working buttons. Although, of course, since there’s only A&B, you might struggle with titles that need the shoulder bumpers too. It’s not the first time that we’ve seen Raspberry Pi’s tiny board being used in this way, with a full-size Game Boy being turned into an emulator earlier this year. Given how many broken handhelds are available on eBay, we imagine everyone’s going to devote a weekend to building their own.<\/p>\n
