Mock Game Boy Camera image

Jeremy Parish at the Retronauts blog has posted a tutorial that explains how to fake a Game Boy Camera image.

The GBC is, without question, one of the finest digital cameras ever -- not despite the fact that it's has 2-bit color depth and a whopping 0.02 megapixel resolution but rather because of it. The limitations of Nintendo's camera add-on make it one of the most iconic and beloved peripherals ever made, and images shot with the Game Boy Camera remain retro-spectacular even a decade later. The DSi really missed the mark by not offering a GBC filter in its camera software, if you ask me.

Expect to see mock-GB Camera photos proliferate throughout the web now. It’ll be pretty cool!
