What was Nintendo's tiniest console? If you're thinking Game Boy Micro, you wouldn't be far off, but the actual answer is the Pokemon Mini, a Tamagotchi-sized device that the publisher built in collaboration with The Pokemon Company. This console is largely forgotten today, but it nonetheless still has a homebrew scene continuing to push the hardware's limits, and now somebody has gone and turned it into a Game Boy.
More precisely, a homebrew Game Boy emulator is now available for the Pokemon Mini, courtesy of developer zwenergy. "GB mini – Game Boy games on the Pokemon mini," zwenergy explains on Bluesky (via Time Extension), "The emulator is running on the PM2040 flash cart. As the PM has built-in rumble, GB rumble games (like Pokemon Pinball) use the PM's rumble. Save games supported as well. Next step audio emulation."
