@KingMike @Coalescence There was a link to another article and a video and while I did not fully watch/read either, I skimmed through enough. He used the GBC CPU and RAM. He used a RPi to act as the display driver. Then for the carts he used a design that integrates the FlashROM, Mapper, Battery, etc from a GBC cart. The design ultimately just makes the cart smaller and use a M.2 style connector.
I'm no electrical engineer, but from where I'm sitting, the project uses enough parts from the GBC to convince me it's not emulation. At the very least, it seems further away from emulation than any FPGA project could be considered.
(Also, Hi! First post! Not sure why this motivated me to finally make an account.)
