Engineer builds FPGA Game Boy console with cartridge ripping and HDMI

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Electronics engineer Thomas Sanfourche has developed the SGBC, a new console that uses field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology to natively play original Game Boy cartridges. The device features HDMI output, USB-C, and a Game Link Cable port for multiplayer functionality. A key feature is its ability to rip game ROMs directly to an SD card, allowing users to digitize their game collections. AI
