I just want to chime in and say I absolutely love the README. It's awesome when open source projects are so detailed that I end up learning so much just from their descriptions.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

That's really impressive! A couple of ideas for future developments:

1) stream an emulated GBA game to it, video that, then stream that video to the GBA, and so on, and see how many layers deep you can go before you reach the bottom of the dream

2) maybe with some electronic wizardry it would be possible for the Pi to act as a proxy for a modern console like a PS5?

An RPi 4 with Chromium can reportedly connect to Stadia…

Or maybe connect this with the Steam Link app for the RPi. Although the Gameboy's inputs are a bit limited.

Yeah, most of Steam games require lots of buttons. And sadly the Raspberry Pi I have lacks 5.8Ghz WiFi so the stream is a bit laggy
Re:Show HN: Streaming Raspberry Pi games to a Game Boy Advance by ronsor on Monday July 12, 2021 @07:19PM (#27816228)
All the recent revisions (3B+ and 4) support 5Ghz WiFi.
Re:Show HN: Streaming Raspberry Pi games to a Game Boy Advance by rodri042 on Monday July 12, 2021 @10:52PM (#27817230)
Is there any small version that supports it? Like the newest RPi Zero? I can't find accurate info about it

Amazing work and absolutely love the write-up and documentation. It helps people like myself learn and grow (especially in regards to reverse engineering) and it's so much better than a readme that says something to the effect of "here's the code - have fun" and the code doesn't have comments. I know it would have been so much easier to not include a readme of this detail so it's so awesome when a developer takes the time to share their knowledge at this type of quality.

Thanks, I appreciate it! Part of the project's fun was discovering new things, so I thought it'd be the best to share it.

Next step: reproducing the gamecube/gameboy-advance link in a pi native game?
Re:Show HN: Streaming Raspberry Pi games to a Game Boy Advance by rodri042 on Monday July 12, 2021 @05:21PM (#27815286)
There's a mod available that uses the link cable as TV out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3wUpKGbJ_I)

Very cool. You are pretty close to being able to play Stadia on GBA :-)
Re:Show HN: Streaming Raspberry Pi games to a Game Boy Advance by rodri042 on Monday July 12, 2021 @05:21PM (#27815289)
I've tried Steam Link but it looks so bad at low resolution haha

This is a really cool project!
