A creative Wayland screen locker that replaces traditional password authentication with a Game Boy emulator running a patched Pokémon Crystal game. Users must solve an in-game puzzle to unlock their session. The project implements low-level Wayland protocols, integrates the GBCC emulator with custom window management, and patches the Pokémon ROM to communicate unlock status through specific RAM addresses. Built as a proof of concept combining gaming nostalgia with system security.
