So, recently I bought a broken GBA with the intent of making a raspberry pi emulator handheld. After finding what else I would need to buy I decided that I couldn't justify the cost. I would really like to make it though, so if somebody would buy it, I could still make it, and you would get a sweet ...

Would you mind linking that? I looked around for one done in an SP and couldn't find a good example. I'm building one in a SP next week so this could really help me out!

Here is the first one I saw

Yep, I've checked there, but first I wanted to see if anyone had any they would give.

I'm not using the teensy or plan to it and my mod will require 4 wires only, if you go like you said with the teensy and the GPIO pins as you suggest you around 12 to 13 wires. Your method requires the same as the teensy as you said but most people are too tech savvy and are following @wermy's guid...

I don't know where the Pi3 came about but this is simply an alternative to the other methods available and is geared towards people who want plug and play and not have to fuss with so many wires. While we're on the GPIO pin route there is another method that Brian is looking into using and it uses ...

Sorry for the dumb question. What are the advantage of using this solution rather the GPIO pins from RPi3? Isn't cheaper and faster? Also supports multiple press. (unless we need the GPIO pins for other stuffs). Thanks. Same deal, lots of wires, it takes more space. Plus the RPi3 has a quite bad po...

I didn't read the entire thread, so this may have been suggested, but you actually don't need a separate chip to handle the inputs at all. The Pi can use its GPIO pins as keyboard keys. I made a more detailed post about it here: http://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=458

I noticed that a lot of projects like this used a separate microcontroller for handling input. While this works just fine, it is another component to buy and power. It seems that not many people realize that the raspberry pi can use the GPIO pins as a keyboard, with the gpio_keys kernel module. Notr...

You should consider adding a favicon to the site/forums. Currently it just shows up as a sheet of paper in Chrome.

EDIT: maybe something like this (taken from OpenEmu)

I think I've entered a few gleam contests too, it worked well.
