    From the GitHub page:

    > It is a Gameboy Advance from a parallel universe where RISC-V existed in 2001. A love letter to the handheld consoles from my childhood, and a 3AM drunk text to the technology that powered them.

      Thank you to the author for writing a GitHub page in 2026 that is entirely devoid of emoji.

    Oh this is Luke Wren’s work. He’s an ASIC design engineer at Raspberry Pi. Amazing project, I love it!

    Does RISCBoy run Godot Engine? How can I make RISCBoy run Godot Engine?

      If you set up the RISCBoy toolchain and port it then yeah.

          How can you fit Godot into 512KB of RAM? And with no GPU?
