Raspberry Pi RP2040 Handheld Smallest Game Boy
The world’s smallest Game Boy has nothing to do with the original handheld, as it’s powered by a Raspberry Pi RP2040 board. YouTuber Elliot Coll managed to find this gem on AliExpress for just over $80 USD, and it even included the Game Boy branding, complete with functional A, B, Start, Select, as well as D-pad buttons.



For comparison purposes, the original Nintendo Game Boy is powered by a Sharp LR35902 core CPU running at 4.19 MHz, paired with a 160 x 144 resolution STN LCD display, all powered by 4 AA batteries. Now the RP2040 chip boasts a dual-core 133MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ processor, 264KB of RAM and support for up to 16MB of off-chip flash memory, which makes it far more powerful than the LR35902.
