RISCBoy: An Open-Source Portable Game Console Built from Scratch

I designed RISCBoy, a fully open-source portable game console featuring a custom RISC-V CPU and graphics pipeline. This project is a love letter to childhood handhelds, reimagine as a Gameboy Advance in a universe where RISC-V existed in 2001. Built in Verilog for the iCE40 FPGA, it combines a complete processor, memory controllers, and a KiCad PCB layout into a single, synthesizable system.

"It is a Gameboy Advance from a parallel universe where RISC-V existed in 2001."
