Finally, We Can Play The Legend Of Zelda On An Oscilloscope

You finally have a purpose for all those oscilloscopes that have surely piled up in your basement, now that one man has hacked together a way to play your original Game Boy games using its monochromatic powers of display.

Craig of Flashing LEDs has a very in-depth and technical walkthrough of the NintendOscope – including his source code – for his method of putting Game Boy games like The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening “on a frickin oscilloscope”.

See it in action above and get the hardware and software nitty-gritty from Craig’s site.

    When I was a kid we didn’t have a telly, but dad hacked the oscilloscope so that we could watch TV on it.

    Fark, I’m old.
