I've never removed the chip on mine (modded 3 of these now, all different), and they work okay. -- It's always that 8-pin chip on the same pin, and I never remove the chip (it's always in a different spot though). -- I do see in the guides that it says to remove it sometimes, but I think that's opti...

Nice work. It's pretty much always one of those 8-pin bastards. Good job narrowing it down and getting it working.

So the one I linked above showed up (several days ago, just been really busy) -- but it's the correct size and is literally a drop in replacement for the old shitty ones (I also have a couple of, and they're also broken... most of them came that way...) -- This has been the first hassle-free one I'v...

Oh wow, good point. I was thinking $15 was pretty bottom dollar, but I just looked at your hub's prices and holy crap. Stuff from China is cheap! XD

FYI -- I haven't used this before, but it looks super interesting (there is also a two port version available): 4-port NanoHub

Hey guys, Some background info: I'm designing and 3D printing my case, so it's not a strict Gameboy Zero -- specifically I wanted something a little more ergonomic (with curves / grooves for your hands in the back and a more traditional ABXY layout)... [I have a RSI, and I can't really game on somet...
