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!

Gameboy SP plays GB, GBC and GBA games with a backlight in the screen. If that's not enough, there are plenty of videos online on how to upgrade the SP. Authentic but optimized. Best of both worlds!

Hard to find at an acceptable price, but a great suggestion!
