I can't believe someone made a GameBoy clone.

sorry but this kind of thing is the worst kind of shit.

all these phone plugin things I've seen have absolutely horrible control lag, and I don't really know how this one is going to be any different, i'm struggling to tell if it's even wired controls, or if the buttons are simply pressing against a touchscreen.

also it's not actually using the cartridge as a cartridge, at best it's dumping it, then running the dump, so if there was a cart with unknown custom hardware in it then it's not going to work, even if that cart would work on a GB.

furthermore all the GB emulators I've seen on phones have done a terrible job of simulating the original screen, so unless this one is significantly better it's not going to look the part either.

Agreed. One more thing you forgot to say. It will drain the battery down from the phone a lot quicker than the GB Emu for the Android/iOS.

Nintendo could make their own GB/GBC portable device with all the GB/GBC classic games in it. No phone needed.

I wish Nintendo re-release Game & Watch games. Willing to buy those.
