Hyperkin Lab has launched a developer kit of the Smart Boy add-on for Android phones, priced at $59.99.
The Android smartphone accessory promises support for Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges, but has called on the community to help improve its software.

Hyperkin provided the following specifications for the Smart Boy:
- Atmel 90USB646

- Phone Size: 5-6 inches
- Smart Boy Serial App Access for Mounting and Controller mapping
- 4.4.4 Android KitKat OTG minimum OS requirement
