Summary

  • A PicoSlide Show image frame, built by hobbyist Raphaël Boichot, displays images taken on a Game Boy Camera with exact resolution and some letterboxing.
  • The RP2040 zero breakout from Waveshare acts as the frame’s brain, with storage space for 540 images.
  • Power comes from a 503035 LiPo pouch, providing portability, while images are transferred to the frame from a PC, with file formats adhering to a four-colour palette.
  • Game Boy Camera images have been used elsewhere, including in custom DSLRs, Zoom calls and wedding photo booths.
  • Boichot’s GitHub repository for the project can be found here.
