GitHub Universe badge runs a Game Boy Color emulator
Original title: Game Boy Color on My Conference Badge
Steve Francia used Gemini to put NES and Game Boy emulators on the color-screen conference badge.
Simon Willison writes that the GitHub Universe badge is again a color-screen computer. Steve Francia, working with Gemini, got a full NES emulator running and then added Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulators. With a ROM, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening can run on the badge, which also has touch controls when flipped.
- The badge can be turned upside down to use built-in controller touch buttons.
- A user still needs to obtain a game ROM to run titles.
From the original article
Game Boy Color on My Conference Badge I'm at GitHub Universe this week and, similar to last year , the conference badge is a full-blown color screen computer. I've been hacking around with it again, and then I ran into with Steve Francia... who worked with Gemini to get a full NES emulator working on it, and then went a step further and deployed an emulator for both the Game Boy and the Game Boy Color.
