Just realised why the USB hub is a good idea. I (wrongly) assumed I'd be able to sort all settings and configuration from the SD card - oops. Now I've wired the usb headphone adapter straight to the pi as I thought "well I can add games straight to the SD card if I really need". Time to solder that...

Unfortunately not. You do need to be at a command prompt to run the install, with the pi connected to the internet. You’ll need to plug in a usb keyboard probably in order to set it up initially Damn... Didn't realise that! Not to worry I will buy a USB OTG and connect to it that way. Thanks for th...

Doh! I knew it was going to be something I overlooked.
Thanks for the reply!

From what I can see I need to enable SSH to install it?
Is there anyway to install straight to the micro SD?

Hi All, I hope you're all keeping well. Picked this project up after around 2 years of leaving it. Thankfully lots of soldering at work has meant i've got relatively good at it!

Think I’ll just stick to the one USB port then. Unlikely I’ll need it for anything else but you’re right, good for a keyboard.

I’ll get some wire for that.many Thanks once again.

Thanks for the response. Really appreciate it :) Shame I missed out on saving some money. I’m surprised how fast the cost has risen. Just had another look at the wiring in your audio diagram- what’s the black box in the index finger? Is that the headphone port? I didn’t notice it on first looking bu...

Hi all, I've been looking through the forum for some advice / base knowledge for my first build and wondering if someone can review my build and answer a couple of my questions. Im building this first GBZ as a gameboy only version, so no other mods to button inputs. My Build is as follows: Raspberry...

Hi all, Just wanted to drop by to say hi. I’ve been watching the videos and the forums for a while and finally decided to purchase all the parts required for the game boy zero. I think the only part I’m missing is a screen cover and something I’m willing to pick up at another time. I’m a bit of a no...
