Nintendo Gameboy

Nov 25, 2003 1 Replies

Hi everyone,



I would like to buy a cheap device to try my first embedded linux on it. I was offered a Nintendo Gameboy at a near-free price. Do you know if anyone was able to run Linux on it? If not, do you have any other device suggestions?



Thanks,



Lester


Hi Lester,

Which model gameboy ? IIRC, you can get definately get linux running on the Advance and maybe the SP ?

take a look at linuxdevices.com there are lots of little wireless AP, firewall/vpn routers that you can get quite cheaply that can (or already do) run some type of linux.

Regards,
