VIDEO: Build Your Own Game Boy with a Raspberry Pi, SNES Pad and 3D Printer

What's a Maker to do When they Don't Have Access to a Classic Game Boy but, Happen to Have a 3D Printer and a Few Other Parts Lying Around ? Craft their Own, No LEGOS Required, of Course. With Some Patience, you Too Can Build a Copy of Nintendo's 25-Year-Old Handheld Using a Raspberry Pi, Super NES Controller (for its Buttons and Circuit Board) and a Few Other Bits and Bobs. Adafruit has Print Files for the Iconic Portable's Case, as well as, Step-by-Step Instructions for How it All Goes Together but, as 3DPrint Points Out, it Likely Won't be Easy and the Project Requires a Decent Grasp on Soldering and Circuitry. Emulated Games Run Off of an SD Card and the DIY-Game Boy Can Even Play any Classic Nintendo ROMs you Might Find Online Too. We'll Leave Wading through the Legalities of that Whole Process Up to you, though.
