DEF CON 32 Badges! I can finally spill the secrets!
The badge is built using the brand new (released this morning!) Raspberry Pi RP2350.
It is, of course, a cat. But flip it upside down and you can play the DEF CON game we built with GB Studio, running on a custom Gameboy emulator on custom hardware, snug inside an ABS injection molded case.
