Would also love a gba one (the first one) if you are considering one of them in the future, just bought a broken one for £4 delivered so looking at modding that once my gbz is finished!

Got the boards in:

They work fine too and I have tested all buttons, only thing I need to fix is the - on the speaker as that's common ground. I also need to slightly move the start button pads but they work fine as is.

Also I guess that you don't anticipate a x and y button if you've gone ahead and designed the PCB already?

It was a request and that people really only wanted to do the A & B, and there isn't too much space on it and I wanted to see interest in this before I waste time doing all sorts of things. The fact that I'm giving them away for people to start projects and hopefully give me feedback and ideas to improve it isn't too bad now is it?

Any feedback of it's use for ideas will make me want to improve it but like I said it was a request and specifically was just an A & B setup.

I need to see what mods people do with this plain board before I consider anything else.

Do you still have any of these? I've got a few GBC housings lying around and a lot of free time.
