A couple of days ago a user on r/Gameboy asked the community if there was any way to turn his Game Boy Camera into a functioning webcam so that (in his words) “I can be an a** to people I don’t respect.” Well, someone came through and showed that it is actually possible to do this.
The whole thing started with user u/eye_for_an_homonculi on the r/Gameboy subreddit, who had a bit of a passive aggressive axe to grind. Earlier this week, he asked the subreddit if there was any way to use his Game Boy Camera as a webcam in order to “piss off” some people who had placed some ridiculous streaming rules onto a “professional development test” he had to take.
Irony aside, after putting the question out there, retro gamer and hardware modder Bernard Capulong came through. It is possible… although it’s not exactly simple.
