GB mini – Game Boy games on the Pokemon mini. The emulator is running on the PM2040 flash cart. As the PM has built-in rumble, GB rumble games (like Pokemon Pinball) use the PM’s rumble. Save games supported as well. Next step audio emulation.

Even with that caveat, the demo is striking: the clip above shows original Pokémon running on a display you’d never expect to handle it. The small screen makes text a bit cramped, but if you’re already invested in tiny retro hardware, you were probably going to need reading glasses anyway.
If you love compact ways to play Game Boy titles, the Pokémon Mini makes a cheeky sidekick to the Game Boy Micro — the Micro ran GBA games but never supported original Game Boy cartridges. Is loading Game Boy ROMs onto a Pokémon Mini wildly impractical? Definitely. Is it absurdly fun? Also definitely.
Yes — we also have a list of the best Game Boy games of all time.
