When the original Game Boy came out there were no smartphones and WiFi didn't exist, so wired multiplayer gaming was perfectly acceptable. But what if it were possible to add wireless capability to this classic handheld? Join us as we build what may be the world's first Game Boy wireless adapter. We'll also see how console games were programmed 30 years ago... in assembly language! |

I am not a gamer, but I can appreciate your build as a good demo of wireless communication.
I have done many thousands of lines of assembler code in my day and I found it quite simple to do, even with the…
Awesome project.
I really like it, and Iḿ still stunned after days how you manage to wrap your head around Assembly. I wish I was that smart.
I stick with arduino and python for the time beeing.
