Re: I can't have a graceful shutdown...

Pin numbers are not really relevant, the important thing is to wire it like the image below. The colors can be switched and rotated, as long as the pins you use are staggered.

Re: Notorious ZERO

The white and yellow cables are video only inputs, and the cables on the GC are video (yellow) and left and right audio (red and white). For the screen you have you only need to wire up one of the wires (either white or yellow on the screen) to the yellow plug of your GC.

Re: What sort of cables do you use when wiring the Gameboy Zero up?

Stranded 22-28 gauge wire should be fine. The best thing to do is buy a multicolour ribbon cable so that way you can manage different signal and power types by colour.

Re: [Gauging Interest] Buttons/Switches Kit

Yeah, $6 is only an estimate. I will determine a solid price if there is enough interest. I know I would personally pay $6 to have everything shipped in around a week instead of searching and waiting for 1-2 months for the parts to arrive from China.

[Gauging Interest] Buttons/Switches Kit
