copper wires and clear case for custom nintendo game boy<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Natalie the Nerd creates a custom <\/span>Nintendo<\/a> Game Boy with copper wires on a transparent circuit board seen through the clear case. The design allows all internal components to be seen from the outside, from the circuit board to the clear buttons and the small screen. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The show stealer of the <\/span>device<\/a> lies inside, and it uses copper wiring traces printed on the circuit board. Under a closer look, users can see that the board is transparent, making the network of copper wires seemingly float. These long lines connect the main chip, memory, sound system, controls, and display, but they also double as the glistening design onto their transparent canvas. <\/span><\/p>\n

A fun art project for modder natalie the nerd<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Modder<\/a> Natalie the Nerd comments on her X account<\/strong><\/a> that she sources the transparent cartridge reader inside her custom Nintendo Game Boy from a Chinese-made clone of the same device. She adds that the transparent circuit board \u2018is a flex\u2019 and \u2018kind of plastic.\u2019\u00a0 She had to solder it with low melt. During the modding, she took out the ground plane, or the large copper area used for electrical grounding, from the transparent circuit board. In this way, the users can see the details more clearly. It doesn\u2019t cause any functional problems, she says, because the custom Nintendo Game Boy\u2019s electronics are rather simple. They don\u2019t need the same heavy ground, unlike other devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the outside, the device faithfully follows the original style of the recognizable handheld console. The control buttons are below the screen. The D-pad is on the left, and the A and B buttons are on the right. The two smaller round buttons marked SELECT and START are still in the lower center. The difference between the original, even the purple variant, and the modded version is that users see the copper wires and patterns shine through the clear case as they hold the custom Nintendo Game Boy. So far, the modder says she has no plans to make the gadget available for purchase because <\/span>\u2018it\u2019s not a practical device. It\u2019s just a fun art project to show off my personal work\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
