Chris Covell did a Gamegear RGB output mod.
He did a Gameboy Advance RGB mod too.
Game Gear
Gameboy Advance

From what I read, getting a tv signal from a Gameboy or GBC motherboard would take way too much work. Better to just use a Super Gameboy/GB Player.

GBPlayer is technically my favorite console. :)

I know. And I've seen better.

One jerk did it via the serial/headphone port and the PiKey plugin. He refuses to post his source code, despite claiming he would show everyone how to do it.

And another guy did it using the PS2 multi-AV cable instead of 2 USB ports.

I'm seriously considering doing it too.

@Hobie-wan:
People have hacked cart plugs so you can play Genesis games on those sort of things. You might be able to cram a GG in there, but you'd have to chop the PCB in half and rewire it together.
Do you have proof / a website showing this?
I'd like to research it / possibly have my hand at
trying to hack something like this together myself.

NP good luck. Funny that I'd seen it elsewhere when it was new, and then ended up with a link back here anyway when finding it for you. :)

I would love to see someone mod a GBPlayer to accept other handhelds like gamegear, lynx, wonderswan and neo geo. If that's possible it'd be brilliant
