Re: Alexln's Game Boy Zero
If he/she doesn't want it, I'll take it!
Edit:
That hammer "mod" was clever, I almost threw that piece of junk away yesterday, flipping over all the time. But that's Biltema in a nutshell.

Re: Alexln's Game Boy Zero
That's a kind offer thank you, I'll take you up on that! I'll send you a pm.alexln wrote:If you want one of the speakers i'd gladly ship it to you free of charge if you live in (northern) Europe
I haven't started my project yet as there's been interesting developments whilst I've been hanging on for Helder's latest AIO board. I think I'll probably end up trying to build a couple, one RPZero based and one RP3 Based.
Re: Alexln's Game Boy Zero
So i received Helders AIO board yesterday and was so excited, that i spent most of the day working on the gameboy! I can't finish it yet, as i'm still waiting on Cambles safe shutdown and new speakers (as the old were too big to fit).
I bought some Kafuter 704 silicone rubber for my permanent adhesion. It will hopefully keep better than hot glue.
I mounted my DS-lite cartridge, external USB, and an internal USB accessible from the battery compartment, as well as a JST-connector accessible from the battery compartment.
[spoiler="Getting there"] I made some L1 and R1 buttons. I hooked it all up, but my screen is flickering. Can someone check if i messed up some wiring? I'll try testing the screen by itself tomorrow. Hopefully i haven't damaged anything [/spoiler]
Also, i am running out of space. I can't get the case closed. I'll change the wires from the 5v input to a thinner gauge and do some cable management. But it's a tight fit. Now i understand why people insist on removing the battery compartment.

Re: Alexln's Game Boy Zero
Looking good. I'm at about the same stage with mine which is the same screen/AIO combo. Have you had any luck getting it together? I can't find a spot for the Pi because of the display board placement.
Re: Alexln's Game Boy Zero
I have the exact same problem. I ended up glueing the pi in place atop the DS-lite cartridge (see below). I can now access the mHDMI from the battery compartment and moved the second USB up to the contrast port. I've had it closed, but it is a tight fit. I might have to move the wires from the DS-lite cartridge a bit. They are the biggest interference atm.DylK wrote:Looking good.

Right now i am stuck. I can't get the 2xUSB or the buttons on front to work in retropie. I just get the "No gamepad detected" error . I've tried resoldering almost all wires. Any ideas what could be wrong? Maybe i should use thicker gauge wires for the data? And what are the "VVC" and "JP2" soldering holes on the AIO board? Should i use these for something?
Update: I've installed ipad speakers (which i can't test out yet ) and i've ordered Kite's new Super AIO
Also, i didn't update my PayPal address when i ordered Camble's safe shutdown switch (rookie mistake). So this build will likely be without this.

Re: Alexln's Game Boy Zero
They shouldn't be. I've tried resoldering them several times. I've even changed the cables once as well.DylK wrote:Are your USB data wires on the Pi shorting on each other? It's hard to tell from the pics but they look awfully close.
