This was possibly the most tedious process of the whole project. Below is a shot of all the materials laid out: In this project, I only needed two pieces-the mainboard and the screen, so the keyboard and chassis were set aside. Unscrew the Torex screws on the back, then pry apart. Tri-reme screw driver, Torex screw driver, and Phillips screw driver.ĭisassembling the phone was fairly easy, as I had done so on multiple occasions.A Gameboy Advance case, around $5 on eBay from Hong Kong.An HTC 8525, available for around $50 on eBay.Shortly later, the idea was born-Get an old 8525, buy a Gameboy Advance case, and turn the two into a fully functional Gameboy Phone running Windows Mobile. Sure, we've been working on providing tweaks, special apps and themes, tutorials on changing your operating system, and other software-related hacks, but we've hoped to provide something deeper-something that screams hack. This coupled with another thought-we, at Windows Phone Hacker, haven't quite been living up to our names.
The idea for this project came when a thought entered my mind: Sony is making a Playstation phone, Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 has been referred to as the "Xbox Phone", so why shouldn't Nintendo have a phone? Rather, this project was built on the foundation of possibility, and without further unnecessary introduction, we present to you The Gameboy Phone Project. What is about to follow is a project not based on practicality, nor on the idea that such an idea would produce a device with everyday functionality.
