World's Smallest Gameboy Plays Pokémon - Thumby

I created a program which allows the Thumby to play Gameboy games. There are two versions of this program, one in Python and one in JavaScript.
Learn more about the Thumby: thumby.us/
JavaScript version: notin.tokyo/gameboy
Python Version: github.com/InkboxSoftware/Thu...

I just got mine yesterday. This is so dumb that it's amazing

[@SchFilms]

Just got my Thumby. I'm playing with this right now, nice work dude.

[@carrotman]

WHAT A DUDE!

[@xrei.]

this is awesome, thank you!

I would love to see a new speed run category for first gen Pokemon games called thumby% where you use this setup. Would be a really cruel test of will power to see if you could do an entire run basically blind with buttons smaller than my will to live.

[@Mentalbox52]

Have you considered flickering the display colors for interpolation of colors? Have one black and gray data table, and one all black data table and swap between them each frame?

[@Xyvir]

This is so cool!!! Could you replace the Computer with an Arduino or Raspi or something to have a more 'portable' version of this setup? Just let me know, thanks!

[@Yipper64]

thats neat but isnt this just functionally playing the game with a worse screen and smaller controls? If you could take it on the go, that'd be a different story, but this seems to just be using the thumby as a monitor more or less.

Just got mine in the mail lol. So cool!!!

Pushing up and down at the same time is not possible on a dpad as the entire pad is a lever.

[@Butrdtostngravy]

So I remember watching this video when you first posted it. Is it possible with the programming they have to make the thumby shown up as an x-input device with a game?

[@desertshadow72]

So cool !!

[@billblaski9523]

Maybe this is a dumb question, but how do u press Up and Down at the same time

[@beenwastaken]

could you make a port of pokemon tho

[@syd8921]

thank youuu subbed

[@TheOne-cy4bj]

Can you save on this "emulator"? Or is there no save function?

[@greenaum]

Is it possible to flicker the screen to give shades of grey? Works on the Arduboy, although that's LCD and is the Thumby an OLED? Even so, with the right timing you might get it.

The true game boy micro.

[@andrewpileggi479]

What kind of witchcraft is that how did you get pokemon on there

[@momopopoki]

How do you add the pokemon game permanently in Thumby?
