Yep, here's the technical data sheet for the chip:

Looks like the maximum supported exposure time is ~1 second... That mixed with the fact that the fact that it has a fairly shallow well depth probably means that the CMOS would be best suited for LUCKY imaging. Also adding a cooler to the back of the Gameboy camera may help reduce amp glow. Anyone have the specs on the ADC chip?
There is some reverse-engineered documentation here:

The ADC appears to be part of the ASIC which contains most of the circuitry to interface the sensor to the GB.

"Artificial Retina LSI"... beautiful. :D
