Game Bub

open-source FPGA retro emulation handheld. I’m excited to announce the project I’ve been working on for the last year and a half: Game Bub, an open-source FPGA based retro emulation handheld, with support for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games. May 2025 Update: Want to buy a prebuilt Game Bub? I’m launching a crowdfunding campaign on Crowd Supply! Sign up to be notified when the campaign goes live. Play Video: Game Bub can play physical cartridges, as well as emulated cartridges using ROM files loaded from a microSD card. Game Bub also supports the Game Link Cable in both GB and GBA modes for multiplayer games. I designed the hardware with a number of bonus features, like video out (HDMI) via a custom dock, a rumble motor, real-time clock (for certain games). Additionally, the hardware is designed with extensibility in mind, allowing future software improvements to expand its capabilities. To my knowledge, there isn't an existing open-source FPGA emulator that can play physical cartridges like this.
