game-boy-mini-camera's Introduction

Game Boy Mini Camera

The Game Boy Mini Camera is a Game Boy Camera cart redesigned into the size of a typical Game Boy Cart.

!! UNDER CONSTRUCTION !!

8/20/23: Please note that while this page is public, information & materials may change until the final shareable version is ready. Currently working on some final touches as I get feedback from testers. Goal is to be finished by the end of Sept (I work a full time job, so this is subject to change). There will be a 2nd version based on my own design that will be available for sale and/or commission builds - both the shared & sold will launch at the same time.

Features

  • SHARED VERSION ONLY Based on HDR's Game Boy Camera flash cart schematic
  • Flashable with stock or custom ROMs
  • FRAM eliminates use of battery for saved data
  • Eliminates the sensor board & combines the components into a single PCB
  • Replaces original lens with an iPhone XR lens array for thinner profile
  • Glass lens cover to keep dust & debris from damaging the lens
  • All new redesigned cartridge shell based to a standard Game Boy cart
  • Custom designed label sticker

Disclaimer

WARNING: This is a difficult mod and requires advanced soldering skills & tools due to the fine pitch of donor components and easily damagable resin sensor. I am not responsible for any harm done to you, your property, or family. Because of the complication required for this mod, personal support will be limited. Order any parts at your own risk! Please review the license before attempting.
