I turned my DevTerm into a Game Boy Camera and Printer β€” Max Glenister

tl;dr: β€œI forked mGBA to print Game Boy Camera output directly to a thermal printer.”

β€œThe Game Boy Camera was brilliant and stupid in equal measure, a 128x112 pixel sensor bolted on top of a cartridge, printing to thermal paper on a Game Boy Printer the size of a brick. I got both for Christmas when I was 12 and somehow spent hours with them. The minigames are absurd, the image quality is aggressively awful, and the whole thing looks like a prop from a cheap sci-fi film. I loved it.”

I recently got this kids camera, which thermal prints onto receipt paper. It's amazing how being so lo-fi can be so much fun.
Printing pictures and sticking them in a notebook is also a fun take on the "one photo a day" thing 😁

trying to distract myself from the #fascist #hellscape in my own backyard by doing a little fun coding project. i started with printing out #meshcore conversations on my #thermalprinter but then i really wanted to support #emoji use, so had to step it up a bit.

maybe encrypted, off-grid, decentralized communications is not really a distraction anyway. πŸ€”
