- Original Game Boy builders and pixel-art collectors
- Worth noticing
- The lab says emulator runs help development but do not count: a result must run on an original Game Boy.
Field notes
The lab's project pages distinguish development aids from the acceptance test: emulators are useful while building, but only an original-console run counts. Its logbook records dated checks, including an independent review of the gb-link-usb revision A board and a first print saved to a computer. The Slow Horizons entry reports an initial test-network purchase, not a completed main-network sale.
