Does it seem to happen with all Pi's? Or just the Zero's?

So I’ve been building a GBZ during isolation, I’ve all but complete the build but.... my Pi Zero has now died... AGAIN. :o Some how 2 have just died on me during the last few weeks and I have no idea why... Both have worked fine, loaded RetroPie, buttons work, screen works etc etc then suddenly out ...

I’ve actually fixed the problem now

I stopped using the power boost as it just seems not to work. So I’m not using a 5v Regulator board attached to a lipo charging board.

And it works a treat! Thank you for your replies tho!

Unfortunately what you mentioned didn’t work not sure what to do next!

I would remove the VS pin from the switch. No reason to have that attached at all. Only wire EN and GND to the switch. Not sure of that would cause any issues. You could also try to solder the powerboost output to the pi pp6 (gnd) and pp1 (5v) instead of the GPIO's. Okay man nice one I’ll give a go...

Hey all! So I’ve got most of my GBZ sorted but.. :? I cannot understand why my PowerBoost 1000C isn’t running my Pi Zero and 3.5 inch screen? I am running a 3.7v lipo with the Power Boost. But regardless if the lipo is attached or not... when the 5v USB lead is connected to the PowerBoost and I turn...

I have this coding in my config.txt file, is it right? # Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835) dtparam=audio=on gpu_mem_256=128 gpu_mem_512=256 gpu_mem_1024=256 overscan_scale=1 disable_audio_dither=1 # 2 channel audio dtoverlay=pwm-2chan,pin=12,func=2,pin2=13,func2=4 # 1 channel audio # dtoverlay=pwm,p...

Also, another question...

Do you need a Power Boost board to power the Amplifier?

Hey guys, I am pretty far into my first GBZ build. Got everything working, roms, gamepad buttons etc. But I cannot get any audio from my speaker at all... I am using the PAM8302 Amplifier and have wired it up to a DMG speaker, power supply and a 5 pin volume controller. I am guessing my wiring is wr...

Awesome thanks guys. Big help! I’ll do the best I can with the screen res then! Nice one for the replies tho!
