A newly designed FPGA console, capable of playing physical cartridges from Nintendo's Game Boy family, is preparing to hit the classic gaming market. The SGBC is the brainchild of Thomas Sanfourche, a French electronic engineer who is currently studying in Taiwan.
As reported by RetroDodo, the SGBC is an FPGA-driven console that plays Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance carts, offering "pixel-perfect" 1080p upscaling for modern displays. The unassuming unit has a host of features, such as speed modes and Link Cable connectivity, and even offers the ability to pull ROMs directly from Game Boy carts to its SD Card storage.
The SGBC has USB-C connectivity for gamepads, as well as a native SNES controller port, for those looking to recreate that Super Game Boy vibe. A purposefully "clean" design sees the console's infrastructure housed in a compact white, grey, and burgundy-trimmed casing.
Sanfourche's eye for design comes across not only in the SGBC's modest but modern aesthetic, but also in the console's official website, which features rotatable 3D models of the product, as well as layered "cutaway" options. Legitimately one of the cleanest websites I've seen in some time, and reflective of the SGBC's retro-futuristic mantra of "Old Soul. New Hardware."
The release window for the SGBC is yet to be announced, but you can join the wishlist by clicking the bright orange box on the site's front page. While it can be argued that the "retro console" market is a pretty busy one, it's great to see new independent developers hit the scene, and certainly in such smooth, head-turning fashion.
