It is a very common project to build an emulator machine with an rPi, so much so that there's a few dedicated software packages for it (http://blog.petrockblock.com/retropie/). The only thing that makes this noteworthy is the fact that it's jammed into a Gameboy and uses a tiny screen. I like that it has physical buttons, but I hate how small the screen is. It would be fine for game boy games but trying to play SNES or Genesis on this would be an ass-pain.

But yes, this is a very common project.

Here's one built into a Gameboy Pocket
