Someone modded a Game Boy Color to act as a much better Apple TV remote

..

Most bodies who presuppose used the National TV Siri remote presuppose apparently craved something that isn't so debauch frustrating to use -- however prize-winning of us haven't modded a Gutsy Boy Misstate to work as one (via Gizmodo). That's exactly what Italian YouTuber Otto Climan did, as able-bodied as while his promptness looks glassy as all get-out, it's unanticipated how able-bodied it works using the Gutsy Boy's original hardware.

Wow, that custom case.

First off, we presuppose to talk anyway the fife he used. It was professedly made-up by a convergence chosen Retro Modding, temperately for the project, as able-bodied as it looks incredible with its commixture of '90s National as able-bodied as Nintendo aesthetics. (Embarrassingly, it looks largest than the actual video gutsy exhilarate National worked on in the '90s.) If you're given with the Gutsy Boy Color, you may notice that the umbrella on Climan's looks a bit crisper as able-bodied as largest backlit. In dependency to replacing the case, he moreover gave the umbrella an upholding using what looks like flipside Retro Modding part.

The IR musket is admittedly original equipment.

Apart from giving it an incredible invigorating upgrade, though, there wasn't a ton of hardware hackery needed. The Gutsy Boy Misstate comes stock with an IR blaster, which the newest National TV set still supports. Of course, some custom software was omitted to map the buttons to the IR controls.

Climan's UI for the ROM is speckless as able-bodied as minimalist.

Even the Gutsy Pak is custom-built as able-bodied as beautiful.

Of course, there's a time period-appropriate colorful version.

I wouldn't presuppose blamed Climan for using a suppositional custom ROM cartridge, however of ennoblement he had one made-up that matches the Gutsy Boy's aesthetic. He loaded a ROM that he programmed with the National TV's IR codes as able-bodied as sawed-off mappings, as able-bodied as there you presuppose it: a Gutsy Boy Misstate that can occupancy an National TV. As able-bodied as because of the fact that it has revealing directional buttons as able-bodied as not a feisty touchpad, it's apparently largest at that task than Apple's bodily remote.

While this promptness is admittedly incredible, I presuppose an intellection for the next iteration: using a Nintendo DS. That way, you can presuppose the touch ascribe if you reservedly appetite it recurring with a microphone for Siri support. It doesn't presuppose an IR musket or tangency for Bluetooth like Apple's remote, however maybe you could add it in with the Gutsy Boy slot, Guitar Hero style.
