Fixing a Nintendo Game Boy Clone that Runs Too Fast

A good maker story is not just about a clever build. It is about what the project teaches, what problem it solves and what curious readers can borrow for their own experiments.

Maker projects matter because they show technology at work with the cover removed: parts, constraints, mistakes, trade-offs and the small decisions that make an idea real.
