OSHW TFT mod for the original Game Boy (DMG-01)

[DerTobi]

I just released an open-source TFT mod for the original Game Boy (DMG-01), powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2350B.

Hope you like it.

Features

• RP235xB Microcontroller – Affordable, accessible alternative to FPGA solutions.
• Custom PCB – Minimal case mod needed.
• 2-Layer PCB – Cost-effective (ENIG recommended).
• 3.2" TFT Display – Pixel-perfect, used area matches original size.
• Backlight Control – Flicker-free dimming (no PWM).
• Multifunction Switch – Replaces contrast wheel; handles UI navigation.
• Battery Monitoring – LED, battery warning icon, adjustable settings.
• On-Screen Menu
• Display Modes - Scanlines and Pixels(experimental)
• Game Detection – CRC32-based title screen detection via DMA for auto palette selection
• PCB design supports different displays and fast modification.
• 3D-Printed Frame for the TFT module

You can find more information in this Spin Casino Review https://casinosfest.com/online-casino/spin-casino/ that highlights popular slots and card games. Many platforms offer bonuses and simple navigation, making it easy for players to try new games. It’s interesting to see how digital entertainment continues to grow across different formats.
