[AMA] I spent my summer building an open-source RETRO BOY COLOR. It's fully working now!

Hey everyone! This is a solo passion project I made during summer break. I designed the hardware, PCB, and it's 100% open-source.

It is based on ESP32S3N16R8 and runs RETRO GO. It supports retro games for multiple platforms. What's most important is that it perfectly integrates with the original GAME BOY COLOR casing. So I called it RETRO BOY COLOR.

It also features a high-brightness 2.8-inch ST7789 IPS display and a 1000mAh battery, with a modular design that facilitates easy repair and replacement, while keeping hardware costs low.

It's fully working now! I'm planning to launch this project (including open-source files) on Kickstarter. If you have any suggestions, feel free to ask me directly. Thanks for the support!
