@gsuberland Yep! I called that project out by name in the previous post.
But it doesn't currently bundle a gbc emulator, and I won't have time to re-write one to use that library between now and the event for which I am attempting to build these boxes.
If I don't come up with another option, I'll start with ESP 8 Bit and Espeon, probably, and see if I can't smack them together well enough to get it done.
@ajroach42 ah, sorry, I didn't spot that bit, I guess the previous bit of the thread didn't federate to my instance until after I replied.
that sounds like the way I'd approach it tbh. if the video output in the emulator nicely keeps things in their own classes you may be able to just write a new output "driver" class that hooks up the composite library, nice and neat.

Do you know of a way to accomplish the above with an ESP32?
Do you know of another microcontroller that I could accomplish this goal with for less than $8/unit, that I can get in the US within the next weeks, in quantities of 10+ ?
Can you think of another way to accomplish this project for under $15 total?
(this is a thread! This is the part of the thread where I'm asking for advice. If you're going to give me advice, please read the previous post as well.)
@ajroach42 I've used this library on ESP32 for colour composite output and had excellent results. just make sure you feed clean power to the ESP32 as a wobbly voltage supply can mess up the composite output

I want a box that plugs in to a TV and plays the gameboy game I made.
I want it to do nothing else, and I want it to be as cheap as possible.
My original plan was to use an ESP32 with composite output and a USB gamepad.
There are several projects that implement a gameboy color emulator on the ESP32, there are several projects that add Composite Video output to the 32.
For example ESP 8-bit, which ads NES emulation (among others) with composite video and gamepad support. But no gameboy emulation.
There are no projects that implement a Gameboy Color emulator alongside composite video out that I've been able to find.

I mostly get advice from the fediverse when I don't ask for it and don't need it.

Okay. Time is running short, but I have a few more projects I'd like to finish before #assemblyRequired and I'm turning to the fediverse for advice about one of them.
