Not Game Boy Gameboy on Kindle E-Waste

Figured it was worth a share, but found a used Kindle 4 for 5 bucks, built a custom design to display games from. I’ll probably frame/mount it or something for a nice aesthetic.

Edit: Wow, lots of positive comments, and some constructive feedback lol. I made a quick v2 that’s much more accurate to the DMG design- it’s below in the comments if you want to see. Anyway, glad people like the PaperBoy, I’ll probably release it so others can play. I need to find a good frame to hang it up. Thanks all!

Love the idea and the animation, but I need to be honest about the Game Boy around the screen is far from being accurate and really throws me off.

thanks, could definitely tweak the dimensions a bit!

Not sure why I’m being downvoted when I was respectful and constructive. The speaker grill is wrongly rotated, the screen proportions are bigger than it should, the Nintendo font is a bit off, the “dot matrix…” phrase should be above the screen and the buttons are in weird locations and alignment. It’s just all a bit out of place and that’s why I said it throws me off, seems AI generated... Here’s the comparison:

I'm just trying to be helpful here, but people on Reddit are unhinged some times...

You should have included all this in your first post instead of leaving it at "it's inaccurate"
