I'll go ahead and tell you now that no one here has tried that, yet. You'll be covering new ground if you attempt to go it alone. Simply put, you can gut the two, and *JAM!* the guts of the GBP into the 83+ case, but I doubt the screen sizes are near the same. At all.

Personally, I just got good at playing a GB without a teacher noticing. I'm THAT good... 8)

You can't play Link's Awakening in the middle of one, either. Plus it's a use for the old extra Game Boy Pocket sitting around.

But can you play wolfenstein 3-D on a Game boy?

Actually, yes you can (on GBA). And it looks better than that calc version. I prefer Doom on GBA over Wolfenstein though...

Well, I can't exactly bring a game boy, it's a rough neighborhood. I think I'll go about doing this on my own.

I may have to settle for a case mod for the Game Boy that merely looks like a calculator, as there's no cartridge slot area.

i really dont see what would be to hard about this.
1)take the calc out its case
2)take the GB out its case
3) put the GB in the calcs case and wire its bat5tery terminals to the calcs and wire the d-pad of the GB to the calcs d-pad and 4 buttons to somewhere on the calcs control board thingy



i think it would be way cooler and maybe a bit harder to put a NOAC in a calc

I've got a certain fondness for building stuff into calculator cases. I once put a Galaxian clone LCD game into an old Sharp calculator as electronic games got banned from our school (along with walkmans, pagers, anything fun really!)

And my current Sega Genesis portable uses a 1970's calculator case like the black one in this picture:

I've often found if people spend less time worrying about what someone the other side of the world has posted on an internet forum and more time getting laid, they'll be a lot less tense.
