Gameboy Hack Into Hackvison ATMEGA Portable Video Game System
Intro: Gameboy Hack Into Hackvison ATMEGA Portable Video Game System
For this project I took a faulty Gameboy and removed the original circuit boards and replaced them with a cheap 3.5" lcd display and a Hackvision monochrome TV video game circuit consisting of an ATMEGA328P and a few passive components.
Detials of the Hackvision can be found on the internet.
I used 2 rechargable 3.7v lithium batteries in series as the power source (7.4v) which was enough to power the LCD and used the Gamesboy's original 5v voltage regulator to convert the 7.4v down to 5v for running the ATMEGA circuit.

Could easily rewire for a 2S2P battery setup, and double your runtime.
Jtag header poking out through the back?
Missing the picture showing the hookup wiring for the speaker, headphone jack, and controls...
Looks like you utilized a portion of the ground plane hacked up to bring the control wiring around to the other side of the hacked controller board. how is it wired from there? any additional circuitry to connect it to the ATMEGA?
When you gave us a TEASER, you had to expect questions.

I was hoping the pictures would paint my words.
No time to write descriptions, busy life.
