Almost 33 years Nintendo's Game Boy has meanwhile on the hump, and he is just not dead. Especially under Butler, the small handheld with the monochrome display still enjoys great popularity and must always be prepared for curious experiments. From the online multiplayer for Tetris via a solar drive to the bitcoin mining, there seems to be nothing, which can not be realized with the Game Boy. Another example of this now provides the German blogger and hobby-tinker Sebastian Stacks.
He had already caused a stir in December 2021 because he had equipped a Game Boy with Wi-Fi. But that was the tip of the iceberg. Now Stack's landed his next coup, which builds directly on his first prank. The creative screwdriver has succeeded in gambling the action-permanent burner GTA 5 on Nintendo's Handheld — the original and not a cheap replica with pixel graphics.
The computing power comes from the PlayStation
The result does not look into it intoxicating, because the display of the Game Boy solves only with signs of 160x144 pixels and the frame rate is also other than buttery with 20 frames per second. Nevertheless, it has been stacks through technical tricks managed to reproduce the title in full screen and thus actually play it playable. It is explained by itself that the Game Boy's 8-bit processor with its clock frequency of 4.19 Megahertz and its 8 kilobyte memory is unable to flick GTA 5 without technical support over the screen.
