- The author converted a Lego Game Boy into a functional Game Boy part using their expertise in Game Boy board schematics.
- They chose the MGB (Pocket) CPU over the DMG for its internal VRAM, cost-effectiveness, and availability.
- Pre-planning involved scaling press images to fit the Game Boy components into the Lego build, focusing on the screen inserts.
- The design includes a custom power circuit, a soft latching power button, and pin outs for buttons and audio.
- Buttons and USB-C port were adapted using custom 3D printed parts to match the Lego build.
- The project is ongoing, with refinements being made, and will be fully released upon completion.
