Game Bub: open-source FPGA retro emulation handheld
I’m excited to announce the project I’ve been working on for the last year and a half: Game Bub, an open-source FPGA based retro emulation handheld, with support for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games.
Play Video:
Game Bub can play physical cartridges, as well as emulated cartridges using ROM files loaded from a microSD card. Game Bub also supports the Game Link Cable in both GB and GBA modes for multiplayer games. I designed the hardware with a number of bonus features, like video out (HDMI) via a custom dock, a rumble motor, real-time clock (for certain games). Additionally, the hardware is designed with extensibility in mind, allowing future software improvements to expand its capabilities.

Don't bother with converting the dmg to a vmdk or anything, just write the dmg to a USB:
sudo /usr/sbin/asr restore --source ventura.dmg --target /Volumes/UNTITLED --erase -noverify
Boot the USB and then to reinstate the Fusion drive setup, (before starting the install)
diskutil resetFusion
Then install 🚀
