Game Boy games running on an E-Paper ESP32 display

Original: GameBoy on E-Paper ESP32 at 30FPS [video]

A hobbyist has demonstrated Game Boy games running on an ESP32 connected to an E-Paper display, reaching around 30 frames per second. The project has drawn attention on developer forums, where commenters are discussing the unusual pairing of slow-refresh e-ink hardware with retro gaming and the engineering needed to push the frame rate that high.

Why now: The novel combination of e-paper hardware and Game Boy emulation at a usable frame rate is impressive to the maker and retro gaming communities.
