A LEGO Game Boy modder got it to play real Game Boy cartridges

Natalie the Nerd, a renowned Game Boy modder, has managed to modify the official LEGO model of the original Game Boy to play real Game Boy cartridges. The modding process involved incorporating the original Game Boy hardware into the LEGO set, preserving the exterior LEGO parts while making the necessary modifications to the "screen" and "cartridge" components. The modded LEGO Game Boy features several modern upgrades, including a USB-C power source and a backlit LCD display, while maintaining the functionality of the original Game Boy. Natalie the Nerd started working on the project even before the LEGO set was released, estimating the necessary modifications based on the official dimensions. The modder is still finalizing the details and plans to release the instructions for the project once it is complete. This LEGO Game Boy mod is a testament to the creativity and technical expertise of the Game Boy modding community, as well as the enduring popularity of both LEGO and the original Game Boy.
