Have done a lot more now. Pi is all de soldered except for HDMI and micro usb. All controls done and wired. Pover Booster wired up. Still waiting on the LCD to arrive. Having no luck with the audio yet. See my thread here: http://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1976 20161206_182053-747x13...

Trying to get my amp working on my project but having no luck. I have a Pi 2 and this amp: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1552 Have connected the left and right channels from the Pi to the amp and power from the Pi to the amp too. Not using a headphone jack yet. Tried the speaker on the left and r...

I also have a Pi 2 and have desoldered the USB and Ethernet ports. How did you remove the camera and display ports? Do they simply desolder too? Lets just say they where a B***ch to remove you can desolder them but I was having a hard time so in the end I used some tools to lift the black plastic h...

Tried to desolder the rest of the GPIO pins by adding more solder but couldn't get it to work. Bought a more powerful soldering iron and managed to desolder them all, all the Ethernet and USB holes and the headphone jack. Just need to do the camera and display connectors now. LCD arrived but I wont ...

The one I originally bought looked like the left on in this photo: http://sudomod.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/IMG_2572.jpg Have since ordered another off eBay that looks slightly different, so hopefully it will work. If not, I will have to buy something like this I guess: http://core-electronics....

I bought an LCD from ebay (from china) and it arrived today but the controller board is too wide to fit in the gameboy case.

I looked at the wiki and all of the screens on there don't ship to Australia.

Any other Aussies had this problem?

I'm using a Pi 2 in my GBZ and will be using the GPIO pins for the buttons.

Can I use any of the "spare" green pins for my buttons or is there certain ones I should use?

I think I need a more powerful soldering iron for them. The one I have is 30w - 50w and I had it on the hottest temperature I could.

Will try again tomorrow and maybe buy a cheap more powerful iron.

Button PCB arrived and I thought I would try soldering for the first time ever. Also continued desoldering the Pi. Some pins seemed to be more difficult than others so I left them for now.
