Re: 4th build by zeppike - \w Kite SAIO board

Is it me or are the L and R buttons switched? Or is that what you mean by "not satisfied how the shoulder buttons turned out"? :D It is not just you, but it couldn't be fit the other way around. That is one of the things I am not really satisfied with. The other would be the angle these are held in...

Re: 4th build by zeppike - \w Kite SAIO board

Sure, it was ripped out of an old dsi. I attached wires to the terminals of switches, then glued the whole assembly together. It clicks well, but I looks kind of funny, and DIY as the buttons have a slight angle on the dsi.

Re: 4th build by zeppike - \w Kite SAIO board

It came together quite well, though I already ordered an other case, as I am not super satisfied with how the shoulder buttons turned out.
I had some issues with soldering the GPIOs, so I ended up covering the whole thing in capton tape, also redoing a couple of joints.

Re: 4th build by zeppike - \w Kite SAIO board

That looks excellent!!! Where did you order the buttons? I ordered 2 different usb snes controllers on amazon and on one controller the buttons fit perfectly but are low quality plastic. And the other one has great quality buttons but the button wells don't fit right. An I am also interested in fit...

4th build by zeppike - \w Kite SAIO board

Hey there again. I could't resist starting a new GBZ with Kite's SAIO board. Initially I wanted to do a RPi3 build, but My PIs were stolen in on the post, so I decided to go for the Pi0. I wanted to go for a SNES like look, so I ordered 10 sets of assorted color gb buttons and hoped for the best. It...

Re: gb9k's slightly different take

Hey there,
I love your build. Could you upload some photos about the inside of the housing? I think you should consider using nds lite buttons instead of these tactile switches. You can get a whole junk nds for 10$ on ebay. The dpad is also awsome on that machine.

Re: zeppike's 2nd gbz build [waiting for parts and ideas]

I already requested some info from the seller, with little luck, but for now the closest I have is https://github.com/myelin/tiny-tft/tree/master/TJC-024-9341-18-pin-SPI-240x320-ili9341-2.4-inch-touch which has a link in it for a slightly other screen which has the same pinout... I know how vague th...
