Nintendo Gameboy computer

[Skylace]

Hackers make us smile with their innovative exploits, and this one is a classic. A Gameboy Classic, to be precise. Over at ascii.jp they have managed to squeeze a fully functioning PC running Windows XP into the shell of Nintendo's original handheld.

Based around the diminutive Pico-ITX motherboard (which means this could be running at up to 1.5Ghz!) the computer also sports two USB ports, ethernet, VGA out (a built in LCD is planned) and even a cooling fan. The OS runs from a 4GB Compact Flash card, appropriately located in the old cartridge slot.

It looks like these guys are Nintendo-mod freaks. Click through to see their PC-in-a -SNES, complete with 120GB hard drive in a game cart. More pics after the jump.
