Full GBZ Build Videos

[rodocop]

Nice videos so far. I've already built two GBZ's but I still like to see what other people have done.

Thank you. That would be awesome if you could post a few photos of the ones that you have built. I would definitely like to see what you have done. Possibly get some ideas for mine from them.

Have a look in my signature for a link to the two I have built. I did not take a lot of pictures during the process, but you can see what photos I have in the thread.

Part 3 of my Game Boy Zero Build is now posted. In this part I will be showing how to set up the Teensy as well as modifying an old Game Boy cartridge to fit the SD cartridge board.
Thanks for checking out this thread and the link to the video is down below.

Very nice builds there. I noticed on your first one that your X and Y button holes have a slight chamfer to them. How did you accomplish that?

I actually did that on both, it's just harder to see on the black one. To do it I just used a countersink drill bit after I drilled the holes. It seemed to work good. Most drill sets seem to have them.

Out of curiosity, what screen did you use and will you be showing how it got wired up?

I didn't notice one in your part 1 and in part 3 you just had it hooked up without any note of how it was done.

Thank you for the information. I'm definitely going to give that a shot on my GBZ build.

It is the BW 3.5 Inch TFT LCD Backup Monitor. I will be going over everything about that screen in Part 4. What kind it is, where I got it, and what needs too be done to it to get it to work in the Game Boy Zero.

In Part 1 I just have the Raspberry Pi Zero attached to my TV with the HDMI port.

PART 4 has now been posted to YouTube. In this part I go over installing the screen, as well as installation of the cartridge slot.
Thank you for continuing to check back on my build. (Link Below)

Hello guy I just wanted to let you know that Part 5 has now been unloaded. The link will be below. Please be sure to leave a comment below if you have any thoughts on how the videos could be improved.

Thanks again for all the words of encouragement from you guys.

In this Video I go over mounting of the screen circuit board, buttons, PCB/teensy LC, charge port, full size USB, as well as the L and R buttons.

I've got the EXACT same control board, and am doing a build almost exactly like yours, so I will keep a close eye on this. Thanks!
