Got a 1st-gen GBA approximately 1,000 years ago back in February, and finally got around to making a mount for it. Since most of the groundwork was laid in the original set, the effort was thankfully as minimal as the design.
Originally planned as a post-sabbatical project, but all my GameBoy stuff was piling up, and I just couldn’t help myself.
First 3D printing and video game combo project!
For obvious reasons (you know, like knowing nothing about making video games), I’d never participated in a Game Jam before this one.

My first gaming project ever using Microsoft MakeCode Arcade!
Designed to look like a retro game cartridge! Fits tiny retro game controllers!

Part of the driving force behind the decision to get my own 3D printer was discovering the PiGRRL project from Adafruit.
I could build my own GameBoy… WHAT?!
