This'll be my first build (once the battery arrives from China, of course) so I'm really excited, but I'm also an absolute noob; I'm tinning wires now just to build up soldering skills. That also implies I'm not sure what I'm looking at on the board, so it might be obvious but is there any support f...

My apologies for taking so long to reply. I didn't see this until today. I didn't add the extra button, I just reprogrammed it to one of the buttons already there (start or select).

okay got all the parts just waiting on a guide no rush

...and so say we all.

Finally got all the extra little bits - except for the Wermy/Helder's parts. So eager to get started again ...but no rush fellows. Just looking forward to doing this. Haven't done a build since my shitshack/heathkit days.

And a happy father's day, to whom all that applies to!
