Can someone please do a vs comparison between GAMESHELL and GAMEBOY ZERO? I’ll add the link to GAMEBOY ZERO here.
Modded GameBoy:
Bigger Screen (Same resolution)
L/R buttons installed in shell
GameShell:
More powerful processor
Straight Forward customization
Better OS (?)
COSTS LESS

price is important, but what about working time
how big are accumulator?
I didn’t see anthing about battery life on the page, so I excluded it.
If it used a similarly sized battery-pack:
The rpi zero is generally low-power: So longer battery life(?)
But the screen is larger: so shorter battery life(?)
Without having a benchmark it is hard to say.
Though, the GameShell’s modularization should make a battery upgrade easy (considering the space under the speakers and the dead-space in the battery module).

screen size is not really going to do anything about battery life; it is the backlight that have real effect here.
“Modded Gameboy” is the number one concern, so unless they are using chinese made shell clone, the number of original gameboy is a finite number, and they are not device worth of being destroyed for making such a thing.
The gameshell use only brand new part, no modding.

GShell have stereo?

I should have clarified; that is what I meant. The modded gameboy is backlit.
Again, they don’t give much info for the modded one.
I might assume mono sound since the original gameboy had room for one speaker. The gameshell is stereo.

I saw this before this kickstarter campaign ended. It was like $300 then. I wasn’t willing to pay that much
