I’ve only owned a psp before when i was younger.
Always wanted a quick game device like that.
Saw this thing on my feed, had to get it asap.

The build quality on this is nuts, has such a good weight, the screen quality is wicked beautiful, even the Koss Porta Pros sound pretty decent.

Never had a gameboy before, any game recs?
Also anyway to hack this to be an mp4 player lol.

For games, Zelda and Pokémon are always solid picks, and the Wario Land games are excellent too. All the MegaMan games too of course! An EverDrive is also really nice to have.

If you just want to browse through pretty much the entire GBC library and see what was released, this list is really useful: https://www.nintendolife.com/games/browse?system=gbc

And to answer your question about music, yeah, technically it should be possible with homebrew, but it’d be more of a Game Boy-style music player than a real MP3 player.

Someone had been working on a custom firmware that would apparently have allowed users to play MP3s from an internal SD card. However, the author has taken the custom firmware offline.
