fpgaboy
An FPGA implementation of Nintendo's Game Boy console, originally created as an MIT digital systems project.
What is fpgaboy?
FPGABoy is an FPGA implementation of Nintendo's Game Boy console that recreates the original hardware using programmable logic gates. It was originally created as a final project for MIT's 6.111 digital systems course and allows the Game Boy system to run on FPGA development boards. The project translates the Game Boy's architecture into hardware description language for execution on programmable chips.
Digital systems students, FPGA enthusiasts, retro gaming hardware hobbyists, and electrical engineering researchers interested in hardware emulation and classic console architecture.
FPGABoy provides a complete, documented hardware implementation of the Game Boy system for educational purposes, offering insights into both classic gaming hardware and modern FPGA design techniques in a single open-source project.
