Clear Green G-Boy
The G-Boy is a portable GameCube/Wii that’s identical in shape and size to the original DMG Game Boy. This portable has a few caveats to be aware of, and is sold at a reduced price to compensate.
The price for this ready-to-ship G-Boy is $1000.
Features:
Runs virtually every GameCube/Wii game at full speed, as the unit has a real Nintendo Wii inside.
Custom resin casted buttons
480p 3.5” IPS display.
Around 2 and a half hours of battery life
Digital audio through the speakers and the headphone jack
USB-C charging and data transfer
64gb of internal storage (enough space for 30+ GameCube/Wii games).
The ability to run Virtual Console games and emulators to play games from older consoles. Will not work as reliably as GameCube and Wii games.
I will include a foam carrying case and a USB-C fast charger with the portable.
There are a few issues with this portable, as detailed below:
There are no dedicated buttons to control the settings of the built in screen. I’ve configured the screen to generally work well with all games, but borders might be slightly off in some games.
The dpad is pretty terrible to use. The left button is particularly tricky to activate.
There are only 64gb of storage built in. Gamecube games take up around 1gb of space, and Wii games range from a few hundred megabytes to 4gb on the big ones. You probably won’t be able to install every game you like onto the device at one time.
The reason these issues haven’t been fixed is because this clear case has particularly brittle screwposts. Getting back inside of the case could break it beyond fixing, so I’m selling this one as-is for now.
Final Notes
Payments are done through PayPal
Portables come with a year-long warranty at minimum against any issues that aren’t your fault. I will almost certainly help with any issues you have even years after shipping it out. I’ve helped people recently who bought portables from me over 5 years ago, the guarantee of only a year is just in case I decide to fully move on from YouTube and portables.
If you live in the United States, then shipping is included in the cost of the portable. If you outside of the USA, then you will need to cover the additional shipping costs. With the exception of Canda, my preferred carrier is DHL.
For copyright reasons, I will not include any games on the handheld. Adding them yourself is a very straightforward process, I will help you with that process if needed.
Wii remotes cannot be connected to this portable, as I did not restore the Bluetooth functionality after trimming the Wii
Virtual Console and emulator functionality is very much so a fun thing to play around with, and not a perfectly fleshed out system. Some of those games won’t run at all, others will run poorly.

And if you’re mad at my pricing, you’re more than welcome to build your own! I’ve done live streams in the past showing start to finish portable Wii builds, full video guides on topics like Wii trimming, and I plan to add more in the future. Building a portable is certainly a challenge, but it’s a lot of fun and I highly recommend it.
