Hi all
Been lurking in the forum for a while whilst gathering parts and am now ready to go !
Parts in hand :
Helders aoi board
Safe shutdown switch
Button wells & screen bracket
Choice of buttons
Broken DMG gameboy
Speaker
Pi zero
Screen
And a few other parts
Arriving next week :
Battery
Powerboost
Cable extension
Screen surround
Cart stickers
Going to be starting work this weekend and will update this post as I go.
Used to be active on the bacteria forums modding / portablising n64 & snes etc
But this is my first build using pi
So I may need some help at some point

Re: Slash125s first gbz build
Small update
Screen surround & cart label have arrived from retrofresh
Both look really nice
I'll be finishing my retropie install tonight
And wiring my aio board to a micro USB cable I have cut
So I can test controls
But keep it plugged in via USB to zero until I'm ready to solder

Re: Slash125s first gbz build
Had a bit of time this weekend so made some progress
Got the front of case trimmed up properly
Added buttons ( I know the colours are wrong )
Gotta switch them round
Retropie set up
Screen tested , 5v conversion done and fitted
Wired up USB & hub from aio board and fitted that
Works fine ...... picked up all inputs
Test fitted screen surround
Quite happy with it all so far

Re: Slash125s first gbz build
Was looking for advice on a few things though
First I found these from an old project and am considering using them as l / r buttons as I don't really like the feel of tacts
Thoughts ?????
Also
Anybody had issues with abxy buttons not feeling quite right when pressed ?
And have a way to sort
