# Game Boy Macro - MK2 This design is based on the designs of the original creator of most of the faceplates available here on thingiverse and with his blessing: https://github.com/gb9k/GameboyMacro # Additional info and source files Link to versioned STL's and f3d file on my Github repository: https://github.com/harryurban/GameboyMacroMK2 # Background and Goals I had a particular idea that I wanted to realise. - Game Boy logo (am a big fan boy) - Smooth transitions from all button indents to the top face (edge fillets) - A recessed frame for the top screen glass screen as a cover for the bottom display, as it is unprotected without the touch screen - Full screen sized cutout in order to accomodate the entire display - `.2 mm` / `2 layers` at the top right led "hole" - to still see the light, but not fear water or debris getting in I use an R4 card running YSMenu and play my private copies with GBARunner2 and Gameyob. # How to show appreciation Because of the positive feedback I got I decided to open source it, and this is a lot of additional work.
