What's a maker to do when they don't have access to a classic Game Boy but happen to have a 3D printer and a few other parts laying around? Craft their own, no Legos required, of course. With some patience, you too can build a copy of Nintendo's 25 year-old handheld using an Raspberry Pi, Super NES controller (for its buttons and circuit board) and a few other bits and bobs. Adafruit has print-files for the iconic portable's case as well as step-by-step instructions for how it all goes together, but, as 3DPrint points out, it likely won't be easy and the project requires a decent grasp on soldering and circuitry. Emulated games run off of an SD card, and the DIY-Game Boy can even play any classic Nintendo ROMs you might find online too. We'll leave wading through the legalities of that whole process up to you, though.
