Does anyone know anything about this?
Is it a homebrew thing or was it something used by Nintendo?

I know it's kinda random, but I was looking for unusual Gameboy carts and stumbled upon this and just thought it was really interesting.

Somebody buy it and then share how they get video out on the device.

There's a ton,

http://devkits.handheldmuseum.com/

Or direct links for the really lazy, to dev units, not including dev cartridges
DMG WideBoy for Famicom: http://devkits.handheldmuseum.com/GB_Wideboy.htm
GBC WideBoy for N64: http://devkits.handheldmuseum.com/GBC_Wideboy.htm
GBA WideBoy also for N64: http://devkits.handheldmuseum.com/GBA_Wideboy.htm
IS-CGB-Emulator: http://devkits.handheldmuseum.com/IS-CGB-EMU/index.htm
More IS-CGB-Emulator: http://lingjr.com/sale/sale_nin_dev_agb … mu_set.htm
GBC prototype: http://devkits.handheldmuseum.com/GBC-P … /index.htm

Explanation: WideBoy just show the image on a TV, through a NES or N64. The emulator can run either GBC or GBA software and debugging (breakpoints and single stepping presumably). The GBC prototype was a preproduction unit to show and test the features of the GBC.

Edit: And of course the DemoVision, basically a two player link WideBoy: http://www.chrismcovell.com/demovision.html

Also nitro, not sure whether or not you saw the page on his freewebs site for the "gamecube laptop"
http://www.freewebs.com/xcrossxi3/gamecubelaptop.htm

Or his "XBox Ps2 Nes in 1 Pimp Mod "
http://www.freewebs.com/xcrossxi3/xbpm.htm

100% fake, for sure (not that I doubted you, nitro smile)

Well I dont think it is fake, there are plenty of these things built on http://modretro.com/ and http://benheck.com/

Unless by fake you mean not official nintendo gear.

Yeah, just to clarify, I have no problem with him selling whatever hastily glued together turds he can make for whatever ridiculous prices he may come up with. The issue with this one is that he seem to be insinuating in vague terms, that this is something that it isn't, maybe hoping to hype up the price. And also a couple of things that are almost certainly lies.

"I don't know much about this, but it is fun as anything." Most likely, he built it, so he probably knows something about it.
"You can also install numerous games at once like pictured." Most likely preinstalled games
"For controls you plug in a generic SNES controller." You're plugging in his modified.SNES controller.

Oh, and he added this:
"-Due to the nature of this item I guarantee it to work but it is also being sold as is"
I wonder if he forgot "can not" in that sentence or what.

If he was more honest and straightforward about what he was selling, I would have no problem with the ad.
