Abstract: 이동 중에 닌텐도 3DS, 플레이스테이션 비타(PlayStation Vita), 닌텐도 스위치(Nintendo Switch) 같은 휴대용 게임기로 게임을 즐기는 사람들도 있지만, 대부분은 항상 주머니 속에 ‘게임용 장치' 하나를 가지고 다닌다. 다름 아닌 스마트폰이다. 그런데 안드로이드 스마트폰을 약 30년 전 나온 게임 보이 시스템으로 바꿔주는 하이퍼킨 스마트보이(Hyperkin SmartBoy)라는 장치가 출시됐다. 근사하게 들리지 않는가? 스마트...

The SmartBoy is a cool phone accessory, but it's difficult to know who to recommend it to. Like the Retron, the big issue is emulation. If I own a bunch of original GameBoy cartridges, why would I want to emulate them? If you're super picky about quality...
Physical design captures the Nintendo aesthetic, Not a bad controller for downloaded ROMs
May not fit every phone perfectly, Physical design obstructs on-screen permissions pop-ups, One one of six games tested worked perfectly. Bugginess abounds
When the SmartBoy works, it turns your Android phone into a Nintendo Game Boy. Problem is, the set up is horribly flawed, and most original Nintendo cartridges fail to work at all...

Reads Game Boy / Game Boy Color carts, Allows play on superior smartphone screen, Audio also enhanced
Current model is USB Type-C Android phones only, Compact phones don't hold secure without a case, Fiddly initial set up, Emulator it uses is actually free, Costs the same as a second hand Game Boy, Slower to initialise than original system
For us here at T3 Towers we feel the SmartBoy is too compromised to be recommended unreservedly. It feels like, to a degree, a confused product, with it seemingly aimed at people with original Game Boy carts they want to play, but who seemingly don't have...
Good physical controls, Supports original cartridges, No batteries required
Limited phone support at present, Booting games is quite fiddly, Quite bulky
If you're a fan of retro gaming then the SmartBoy is a must – especially now that modern screen technology makes the whole experience so much better.Thanks to Funstock for supplying the Hyperkin SmartBoy and MobileFun.co.uk for supplying the Galaxy S8 use...

Der SmartBoy ist ein durchaus originelles Zubehör, dessen Test mir viel Freude bereitet hat. Vermutlich auch deshalb, weil ich als Kind mit dem Vorbild, dem Game Boy, gespielt habe und die physischen Tasten jeder Touchscreen-Eingabe bevorzuge, zumindest b...
