The ReBoi kit promises to replace the Game Boy’s guts and display with no soldering required, but you’ll need to source the Game Boy and Raspberry Pi yourself.

It's a neat idea to reuse the shell and buttons of a GBC but what does this achieve better than something like the rg35xx ?

Yeah, I think this is more of a novelty or a “because I can” sort of thing. There are enough mini retro handhelds out there that play more systems for less cost. (RIP my Miyoo Mini v1)

I have to say it's sick as hell but the prospect of being limited to the GBCs input options is pretty scary
