did you know that the 8bitdo Zero Two is just the right size to use as a gameboy? this thing is tiny but you can strap it to the front of your phone with two rubber bands and hey you've got a gameboy.
except instead of two rubber bands im using this 3d printed jig thanks to (insert creator name) on thingiverse! wow! its held on by a rubber band.
for the software, i am using retroarch for android. i changed the menu theme to 'rgui' which is designed for small screens, and conveniently defaults to taking up just the top half of the screen, so it works perfect for this setup.
for added immersion i tried all the shaders and the best one is (insert name here, I think it was dot-matrix-dmg).
games this thing runs: i mean, _all of them_, it's an emulator. but the ones I've enjoyed the most are
- Tetris (gb)
- Pokemon Pinball (gb)
- Pokemon Puzzle Challenge (gbc)
- Game and Watch Gallery 4: Modern Chef (gba)
- Pokemon: Too Many Types (gba)
- WarioWare: Mega Microgame$ (gba)
## to do
- check name of shader
- take pictures
- upload pictures
- add links: 8bitdo, retroarch, thingiverse
