hdmyboy: a full hd power up for your game boy classic


hdmyboy: connect your game boy classic to your tv with crisp full hd picture quality (hdmi), rich colour palettes and a nes controller.


Last year Josh hacked a game boy classic so he could play it on an old computer monitor. By tapping into the digital signal deep within the game boy, he could generate amazingly crisp graphics. After playing some Mario, Tetris and Zelda we decided we just had to share this and take it to the next step.


So we spent the last 3 months building a prototype which supports full hd and makes it super easy for everyone to upgrade their game boys. Now it's time to find out how many people would like one so we can do a production run!



This year it is Game Boys 25th birthday, so see this as our last minute gift to the best classic handheld console!



hdmyboy gives you the sharpest and best picture you've ever seen come out of your gameboy as we redraw every pixel without blurs (or anti-aliasing)!
We prefer 1080P FullHD, but support 720P. There are two modes: Scale, which is the same ratio as the game boy screen and Stretch, which is a full screen mode which redraws the graphics slightly wider. This works really well on games like Zelda and Mario.
