Pretty intense. I really don't need HDMI I would be happy with composite.
Very cool.

I don't know... the Gamecube Game Boy Player already does this pretty darn well.

This is kinda cool. If I really wanted LSDJ or something on a big screen in a live setting I think supergameboy is a better choice but this is nice for anyone who uses gameboys for samples or in more of a studio setting.

well seems totally pointless to me but props to them for making the thing and having a working example ~before~ bringing it to kickstarter

the only possible real-life use i can think of is running sHDtwave, and even that's assuming a venue has a decent enough projector with HDMI inputs.

The website is HDMI Boy, the graphics and site call it HDMY Boy, but on the page it says it's running through VGA?

I personally want it badly. VGA, HDMI, or otherwise. I have always been quite the gamer and see I g as too many LCDs are kicking the bucket these days; I would rather not even bother with backlights any longer.

Plus this fixes the other backlight problem which is battery life. If you don't need the portability of a gameboy but still want to play pokemon red this is a godsend.

Maybe I need to come out sooner as I would like.
I don't have everything prepared yet.
I will in 2-3 months offer VGA and composite out.
and separate rf controller (sold if wanted)
You can change color and composite is for NTSC and PAL (3,5mm jack) cable included
I will post some links here:
I plan to sell it for about 100$
Well will see how this goes. If there is still interest
Good day
Looking good! Thanks for sharing.

I think it's one of those things where if you want one you'll get it regardless of price purely to play your old games or write music in a format that is more suited to modern TV and its graphical capabilities. For me I would love to get one if it was cheaper but then again I think if you want to play your old games on your TV surely a cable to plug your laptop into your TV and running an emulator of your favourite games would be easier?

Who wants to start coding a vjing software for GB? I have some nice ideas! Also, I can do GFX's.

I really like the idea of this for playing games on my HDTV, but there's a couple of things about it that surprise me, given the amount of extra space this thing affords for mods:
No power supply socket - I know you could use a DMG-USB cable or an original mains adapter, but this seems like a missed opportunity
Mono sound through HDMI only? Why not stereo?
