The Game Boy original is one of the most beloved classic consoles among fans. Well, it seems that there are companies that want to take advantage of this.
This is the case of the project known as “The Game Wallet”, which aims to “take the original Game Boy and use it for decidedly more modern technology.” We talk about bitcoinindeed.
Along with this, these data about the project have been offered:
- the developer Joseph Schiarizzi from the cryptocurrency company Keyp is responsible for The Game Wallet
- He plans to sell the project as a physical Game Boy game cartridge.
- The game involves “generating mnemonic phrases” for crypto wallets that can be saved and stored on the cartridge itself.
- They highlight how good the Game Boy can be to store this data, since it is a very old device and at the same time extremely secure.
- They do not foresee software updates for the project, but would release “new games” in the future
- Its developer claims that this technology is possible because it “has converted an open source assembly implementation of the sha256 hash algorithm used to generate BIP-39-based cryptographic seed phrases into GBAassembly, the language in which all Game Boy games are programmed. ”.
It is undoubtedly something somewhat peculiar, especially with the controversy that the cryptocurrency business brings today. If you are interested, you can take a look to the official website.
