## Summary

Steve Francia, working with Gemini, built a full NES emulator for the color-screen GitHub Universe conference badge, then added Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulators. Simon Willison says users with a ROM can run The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on the badge, using touch buttons built into the badge body when it is turned upside down.
