Original: GameBoy on E-Paper ESP32 at 30FPS [video]

A new project demonstrates GameBoy games running on an ESP32 connected to an e-paper display, achieving around 30 frames per second. The build is drawing attention among hardware enthusiasts, who are discussing the challenge of driving an e-paper screen fast enough for playable retro gaming, since such displays are typically too slow for smooth motion.
