Allow me to tease the Game Boy Interceptor, an rp2040-based adapter that goes between your (unmodified) Game Boy and the game cartridge to record or stream your gameplay. You simply connect it to a PC/Mac/whatever-with-USB and it should show up as a webcam. The Game Boy ist directly connected to the game without any interference from the adapter. The adapter only listens to the communications and reconstructs the image by following the instructions that the Game Boy receives from the cartridge and emulating its graphics. In the video you can see several glitches because of bugs or missing functions. For example, you cannot see falling stones because I have not yet implemented sprites and the line counter is weird because of a bug in implementations of the DAA instruction (at least I think so). I plan to release this as open source and open hardware on my blog (https://there.oughta.be) and you should just need to solder the connector in order to build it. From there it should be mostly plug and play and hopefully compatible with almost all games. But until then the software still needs some work, I to design a case and I need to do another harware revision. So, it will be a while and there might be even another (non Game Boy) project in between, but I hope to finish it this year, so stay tuned :)
