Play GB games (lemm.ee)

So I have these old, original Game Boy (like, the grey one with the maroon buttons) games I wanna play again (original Pokemon Blue). What can I get to do so?

I bought a GB on eBay but the screen was barely visible. I'm comfortable partially building/programming something myself, and would also be fine with an adapter or some such that allows me to play the cartridge or copy its contents so I can play on my laptop or Raspberry Pi or whatever.

Suggestions sought!

You did try to change the contrast on the GB you bought, didn't you?

Yes, noting happens.

Might also be a broken contrast wheel. Could be fixable with IPA if it doesn't work right.

If it's really the display, I guess there are at least many replacement options available.
