I agree with veteran. I have in all my builds the bangood one. I like that one the most. Easy to mod and a verry small foot printVeteranGamer wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2017 2:47 pmget something thats tried an tested....
i know its tempting to get something cheaper or sounds like it does the job..... but most times its a flop

I guess these PCBs replace the two I mentionned above ?
I have to check which one is better. There is a huge price difference.
Thx again for your help.

there both about the same in performance....
one is branded and has slightly better wiring options and a low battery indicator led, (adafruit)
the other is a generic power boost/supply, but works just as well (banggood/generic)
personally i would recommend the generic/banggood, i've used it (so have many others) its great for the price, size and functionality and may be easier to get hold off.... as the adafruit is mainly sold via certain suppliers that all seem to have juicy postage costs (depending on where you are)

Re: gameboy zero by the noobest guy
Once again you were right the screen control board ribbon was not connected properly. I feel stupid again
I'm waiting for the case to be delivered to go to the next steps now, thanks again.

Re: gameboy zero by the noobest guy
I'm starting to look into the controls I was hoping to recycle a chinese snes usb controller I already have. Looking at the pad board it is more complex than the on i saw in tutorials. I don't get what is ground, i was expecting some common path. Anyone can give me a lead ?

if you cant get hold of an AIO (and i know at this time most are sold out)
then get one of these, there available on ebay, amazon and some specialist stores
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nintendo-Game ... Swc-tY3DTT
and depeding on how you wanna hook it up (both methods are about the same difficulty, which is not that hard)
GPIO

via Micro Controller
viewtopic.php?f=22&t=612
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mini-Le ... 747e001e17
depending what you want, either method will require about the same amount of work (just some soldering, and installing pre-written code)
it might be a better option to go down the pro micro route (you will posibly need a usb hub as well)
plus it technically a usb controller (it can be removed and put in another build, once the pro micro is programmed)
they are tried and tested methods and help is out there for which route you take.....
