Another user over on Retrovia has done a Raspberry Pi Game Boy Mod.

Check it out.

Nice!!!

How's your own one coming along?

Been a bit busy with a lot of other stuff so haven't spent that much time on it lately. I'm a perfectionist and there are a lot of issues with it and they really bug me as they're just not turning out as I'd like.
I'll get back to it in time after a rethink on some of the internal design.

This pIO solution would be ideal for saving space in your GamePi Steve-o:

Hmm, good idea that but I use class 10 sandisk extreme's in my Pi's for improved performance (and it really is improved). I wonder how the Pi and that adapter works for Pro level microSD cards.

Either way its a cool idea and I'll back it

Got a nice new case for the Raspberry Pi this morning in the post. Really nice if you like the colours and it holds the Pi very well with its layered design.
It's called the PiBow and it even has a slot to allow a ribbon cable in to connect to the GPIO pins.

I have one ordered, hope it comes soon.

If you check the website they tell you when to expect it depending on the date ordered as they have a massive backlog.

Certainly is the nicest looking case I've seen, but I'm happy with Adafruit's laser cut Lenin's Coffin - easier access to the Premier's GPIO pins, and people can freely observe that he isn't returning from the dead to crush capitalism















...yet.

You should really check out the Pibow dude. It's the nicest case I've seen for the Pi and I've bought loads of them.

Here's a vid I did to show how the layers work. They really do a great job securing it and the colours are well 80's funky

Nice official overclock now enabled on the default Raspberry Pi image.
Allows you to run at 1Ghz (default was 700Mhz) without voiding the warranty. This should really help out when running emulators and other games.

http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/2008

You can now choose from one of five overclock presets in raspi-config, the highest of which runs the ARM at 1GHz.
The level of stable overclock you can achieve will depend on your specific Pi and on the quality of your power supply; we suggest that Quake 3 is a good stress test for checking if a particular level is completely stable. If you choose too high an overclock, your Pi may fail to boot, in which case holding down the shift key during boot up will disable the overclock for that boot, allowing you to select a lower level.

What does this mean? Comparing the new image with 1GHz turbo enabled, against the previous image at 700MHz, nbench reports 52% faster on integer, 64% faster on floating point and 55% faster on memory.
