iPod + Game Boy = iBoy
Sure, you love your iPod, but we'll bet you wish there was a way you could replace that sleek, white case with a big, clunky grayish-white blob straight out of 1989. We hear ya. That's why we're happy to point you to this Flickr set that has detailed instructions for turning that beautiful iPod into a late-'80s eyesore.
Apparently, the process isn't as simple as you might think. A 60GB iPod barely fits into the classic Game Boy's case, and there's a lots of cutting and soldering required to get everything working with the original portable's controls. It's all worth it, though, to be able to pretend you're playing some decades-old portable game when you're actually rocking out to the latest tunes. Yeah!

@ Keeko,
I agree, it's cool but pointless.
I could be totally wrong about this but I'm pretty sure just the pictures were posted awhile ago, not the link for the do it yourself part.

Hahah didn't Chris Grant and Ludwig promise to ban people who started spamming "this isn't news?"

"When was the last time you guys actually broke an original story for people to discuss?"
Uhh... this is a blog, not a news site. They don't break anything. They gather news from other sources.
Stop complaining and start sifting through the hundreds of video game news sources yourself

Nice work, but personally I prefer my actual gameboy emulator on the version of linux I installed. Why look like one when you can BE one?
