What consoles does the GB Operator support?

What are the GB Operator's dimensions and physical characteristics?
The GB Operator comes in a modern, fully transparent plastic enclosure measuring (WHL) 35x32x90mm. The PCB inside is matte black, with golden accents. It also has a custom matte black rubber pad on the bottom, to prevent it from shifting position. (Pro-tip: when not in use, the device can also act as a stand to artfully display your favourite game cartridge.)

It uses a USB-C to USB-A cable to communicate with your computer, through our intuitive desktop app named 'Playback'. The Playback app will soon be available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux for download on our website.

It's as simple as connecting one end of the USB cable to the GB Operator and the other end to a USB port in your computer. All that's left to do is to put in your game cartridge and done!
