A gift for son: the phone from Game Boy
Nintendo released the first Game Boy in 1989, and its follower, Game Boy Color, in 1998, almost 20 years ago. One of these devices, namely Game Boy Pokemon Yellow, became the “donor” for the phone , which the enthusiast made for his son, a fan of classic consoles.
As components for the phone, the RePhone Kit , launched in 2015 on Kickstarter, was used. At the first stage it was necessary to deal with the audio module. The wire had to grow. The microphone fell into place of the speaker.

"Gameboys look like a sandwich - a printed circuit board is like meat between parts of a plastic case, all components are installed on it, and the case holds them together," the creator of the new gadget writes. He wanted to repeat the same idea when processing the console into the phone: all the components needed to be connected to the board, but not to the case itself, so that at any time you could open the device for repair or rework.
The touch screen was not entirely flat, so part of the PCB under it was cut out. From the board with the screen are inch cables: to which you need to connect GSM and audio modules.
To make more space in the upper part of the battery case, I had to cut the Pokemon cartridge and fasten it in the slot.
