Have you heard of Natalie the Nerd? She’s a pillar of the Nintendo Game Boy modding scene who taught herself to reverse technologist and design Game Boy circuit boards.

Now, she’s enactment her skills to enactment successful astir apt the astir beauteous physique I’ve ever seen: a moving see-through Game Boy Color wherever adjacent the circuit committee is made of wide plastic. Because she designed and created that committee herself from scratch, you see.

I’ve been floored by console mods before, but I’d typically bounds praise to saying they’re “damn clean.” But this thing, to paraphrase Indiana Jones, belongs successful a museum. “Damn that’s lovely,” says 1 of my colleagues. “It’s specified a delight,” says another.

Another crushed wherefore it’s astir apt a depository piece: she agreed with 1 commenter that it’s apt excessively flimsy and fragile for extended use. “Yeah not applicable astatine all, conscionable creation enactment TBH,” she wrote.

Natalie lives successful Australia, where she sometimes sells RGB lighting kits and different aftermarket components for Game Boy modding and offers repair services. You tin besides enactment her enactment at ko-fi.
