Nintendo Game Boy Camera DSLR Lens Modification
Nintendo’s Game Boy Camera (GBC), also known as the Pocket Camera in Japan, was released on February 21, 1998, in Japan, and was ahead of its time to say the least. This accessory is capable of shooting grayscale photographs and gave users the ability to edit or create original drawings from them.



Gamer Conor Sev basically 3D-printed an adapter that is compatible with Canon EF lenses, but he ran into another problem…downloading photos off the Camera cartridge. However, the biggest issue is that the original128×128 pixel CMOS sensor just isn’t up to par to handle modern DSLR lenses. It can only shoot 128×112, grayscale digital images using the 4-color palette of the Game Boy system.
