This microcontroller chip translates the Game Boy Color&#8217;s ye olde parallel RGB output into something a modern screen can actually display. The dinky size of the device requires compromise and creative thinking, but arguably the most cursed part of the build are the controls.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-Xm4jRO\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/Xm4jRO.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The creator chose to load games via shrunk-down custom cartridges (yes, really). Still, the cartridge slot takes up a lot of space within the watch&#8217;s guts. That leaves little room for a battery on the board or anywhere in the already 15 millimetre thick watch, so it&#8217;s contained in the strap instead.<\/p>\n<p>Fabricated from silicone via a process of overmoulding, Hackmann acknowledges that the strap is hardly the ideal place for a battery in terms of thermals or safety\u2014but he says he&#8217;s unlikely to charge and play his creation at the same time, so he&#8217;s unlikely to run into too much danger there.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"GDYgzvrm7vMHfHircGUTs7\" name=\"Time Frog Color\" alt=\"Chris Hackmann's Time Frog Color, a Game Boy Color mod project that houses original hardware inside of a specially made smart watch.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pocket-console-modder-shrinks-down-game-boy-color-into-a-smart-watch-complete-with-cursed-control-scheme.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Chris Hackmann, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@leggomyfroggo\" target=\"_blank\">LeggoMyFroggo<\/a>)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Anyway, that thick smartwatch housing leaves apparently ample space for the Game Boy&#8217;s buttons and d-pad along its sides (I told you it was cursed).

The entire project took about two years to come together, so it&#8217;s totally reasonable that the creator is taking a breath before making the project fully open source.
