With the price of Bitcoin continuing its meteoric rise, along with other cryptocurrencies, it’s no surprise that some people are looking for creative ways to mine these coins. This person decided to not fight the scalpers for graphics cards and use a classic Nintendo Game Boy for mining operations, or so it appears. In reality, the Game Boy is connected to a PC using a Raspberry Pi Pico computer, while a level shifter handles the different voltage levels.
This modified Game Boy is running custom software off a flash cart that is using a SHA hash algorithm on incoming data from the PC before transmitting it back to communicate with the Bitcoin network. For those who are technically inclined, this video should contain all the information you need to get your own Game Boy mining setup operational.
