ワークボーイなんて計画があったのか。こう言うのワクワクする。でも初代ゲームボーイって電池の持ちがとてつもなく悪かったからなぁ。 x.com/ComputerLove...

Вашій увазі WorkBoy, відмінена приблуда для Game Boy (1992) 👁

Планувалося, що за допомогою клавіатури та 12 додатків можна буде отримати адресну/телефонну книгу, калькулятор, календар зустрічей і т.п.
Збиралися продавати десь за $79-$89, але все пішло не по плану і відмінилось.

Thanks to:
- Liam Robertson's research and documentary ( @liamrobertson.bsky.social )
- LIJI whose Same Boy emulator I based my MegaDuck research fork on, and Workboy reference code
- The #MegaDuck community for motivation to finally finish this beast!

The legendary #Workboy found a new home!

I ported the ROM to work on the #MegaDuck laptop (a #GameBoy clone). Not the hardware we wanted, but...it's hardware that exists! Keyboard, Real Time Clock and all.

No idea what the Significance of "ITCMRT" is...

Maybe my above post is new info for you?
@liamrobertson.bsky.social

Backup screen is very minimal. Based on asm code, then connect workboy and ?maybe? press "R" (read SRAM from keyboard) or "S" (send SRAM to keyboard) to trigger the backup action.

Found a hidden treasure in #GameBoy #Workboy ROM (looking for Bank 0 free space)

Menu shown when run without keyboard connected has hidden "Backup Options" entry. To reveal search for "ITCMRT" in phone app (cart sram must be init-ed).

Appears to Dump/Restore cart SRAM to keyboard over link port.

Oh I remember hearing about this! It was canceled and never came out, but a prototype emerged a few years ago. youtu.be/SZcrPM-jDqY

jokes on you, i'm using WorkBoy to email my AI girlfriend
Hatred of AI now reaching the level of cultural consensus that becomes attractive to advertisers

quoting this to say: if you want to see this thing in action, check out this video @liamrobertson.bsky.social of DYKG did where he tracked down a prototype unit from its original creator and, using a ROM found in the 2020 nintendo gigaleak, managed to get it working www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZcr...

He would absolutely whip out the Gameboy first while a lady with legendary-grade shoulder pads yells, "you're playing your little game at a time like this?!"

Douglas eases into a profoundly derisive smirk punctuated by a slight nod and pulls from the other pocket of his sport coat, the Workboy.

Workboy, a prototype keyboard for Game Boy from 1992
Workboy converts your Game Boy into a micro workstation, complete with a keyboard, allowing you to keep track of your important appointments, addresses, notes, bank account balance, and telephone numbers as well as convert temperatures, currencies, and words between five languages. Sounds pretty useful, right? The Workboy software itself was developed by Source, in association with Fabtek […]

When commenters actually talked about hardware, they focused on how the Workboy—an unreleased PDA-style keyboard accessory—showed early attempts at non-gaming handheld apps. This led to a debate on whether the Playdate console could fill a similar niche today. 3/4
