Re: FYVE's DreamGEAR Zero

Great build! I want to try that build. What do I need to get to accomplish this build? Find the shell somewhere... (I got mine on sale locally) It's called a "My Arcade 220 in 1" I think? Or "DreamGEAR 220 in 1" something like that. You will need a 2.5 inch display as well, I got mine from Adafruit...

FYVE DreamGEAR Zero

So I found this on sale for $20 and instantly wondered if I could mod it... DGUN_2573_GAMERV_PR1_H__96288.1444849821.700.700.jpg It was tricky but I ended up being successful I suppose...

Re: pulling my hair out with my usb hub.........

I'm stuck here as well guys... I'm waiting for a HUB to arrive that a user has said works fine. I also have a 2nd Raspberry Pi I can test with to see if I get the same issue. Seems like a lot of people are having this issue.

Re: Battery in Canada

Yeah I'm going to be ordering a couple off eBay just to have a look at them. I could probably buy 5 off eBay for the price I had to pay from Adafruit....

Re: Soldering wires through hole

Ah, I see it now. He basically cheated by filling the hole with an appropriate amount of solder and then reheating it later. Are there any concerns with doing it that way? Is it a bad practice?

Re: Miscut holes

Hello, first time poster here! I recently began my own try at the Gameboy Zero! Unfortunately I miss cut the X and Y holes (show below) along with the PCB I am using.

Save States?

Is anybody else having an issue with Save States not working? I went the Teensy LC route for control input if that has anything to do with it... When I hold L and press Select twice nothing happens, however if I hold R and press Select twice it says "Slow Motion" at the bottom of the screen. So I kn...
