The Game Boy modding scene is fascinating. You can literally replace every single part of it other than the `DMG-CPU` main SoC. Well even that can be replaced, sorta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EccVHo-pDGI

There's a replacement motherboard which uses an FPGA in lieu of an original GB/GBC/SGB SoC, so you can in fact build a Gameboy of Theseus with zero Nintendo parts.

I pre-ordered this set to do exactly this. Nice to see others have the same idea. Weirdly I only received mine today, I wonder why the difference in pre-order shipment times is so large.

Because some sellers don’t respect sales embargo and/or some clients have some privileges.
