       | That's really impressive! A couple of ideas for future
       | developments:
       | 
       | 1) stream an emulated GBA game to it, video that, then stream
       | _that_ video to the GBA, and so on, and see how many layers deep
       | you can go before you reach the bottom of the dream
       | 
       | 2) maybe with some electronic wizardry it would be possible for
       | the Pi to act as a proxy for a modern console like a PS5?

           | Or maybe connect this with the Steam Link app for the RPi.
           | Although the Gameboy's inputs are a bit limited.

             | Yeah, most of Steam games require lots of buttons. And
             | sadly the Raspberry Pi I have lacks 5.8Ghz WiFi so the
             | stream is a bit laggy

       | Amazing work and absolutely love the write-up and documentation.
       | It helps people like myself learn and grow (especially in regards
       | to reverse engineering) and it's so much better than a readme
       | that says something to the effect of "here's the code - have fun"
       | and the code doesn't have comments. I know it would have been so
       | much easier to not include a readme of this detail so it's so
       | awesome when a developer takes the time to share their knowledge
       | at this type of quality.

         | Thanks, I appreciate it! Part of the project's fun was
         | discovering new things, so I thought it'd be the best to share
         | it.

       | native game?

       | I just want to chime in and say I absolutely love the README.
       | It's awesome when open source projects are so detailed that I end
       | up learning so much just from their descriptions.

       | Very cool. You are pretty close to being able to play Stadia on
       | GBA :-)
