Have you heard of Natalie the Nerd<\/a>? She\u2019s a pillar of the Nintendo Game Boy modding scene<\/a> who taught herself to reverse engineer and design<\/a> Game Boy circuit boards. <\/p>\n

Now, she\u2019s put her skills to work in probably the most beautiful build I\u2019ve ever seen: a working see-through Game Boy Color where even the circuit board is made of clear plastic. Because she designed and created that board herself from scratch, you see. <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been floored by console mods before, but I\u2019d typically limit praise to saying<\/a> they\u2019re \u201cdamn clean.\u201d<\/a> But this thing, to paraphrase Indiana Jones, belongs in a museum. \u201cDamn that\u2019s lovely,\u201d says one of my colleagues. \u201cIt\u2019s such a delight,\u201d says another. <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Another reason why it\u2019s probably a museum piece: she agreed with one commenter<\/a> that it\u2019s likely too flimsy and fragile for extended use. \u201cYeah not practical at all, just art work TBH,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

Natalie lives in Australia, where she sometimes sells<\/a> RGB lighting kits and other aftermarket components for Game Boy modding and offers repair services<\/a>. You can also support her work at ko-fi<\/a>. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
