Can I flash custom firmware to the fpga to have a little fpga tinkering machine with screen? Is the gameboy fpga core open source?

Unknown, if you want that info you should probably email funny playing directly.
So is this pretty much an Analogue Pocket with a less good screen?
No, the analogue pocket does multiple systems and with shipping is going to cost close to $300. This is basically a Gameboy color with those mods and no electrolytic caps.
Edit: also no SD card, so just a pure GBC implementation to read og carts or everdrives
Got it, thanks. Still a cool project but I'd love a Pocket
I agree, I don't see this as a competitor to the Pocket, more like a cheaper alternative to a modded GBC
Can it drive higher res screens?
I wouldn't expect it too. The screen should be exactly the same as their other ips mods.
Its kind of incredible how deep funnyplaying is into GB(A) replacement parts that its beginning to actually manufacture its own gameboys outright.
