Re: BadBert's GBZ Build

In this case, the only oem shells are sold (or as far as I know, not sold) directly by Nintendo. These are r...

Re: Magnet together the Gameboy

Just chiming in with my two cents. Neodymium magnets (rare earth magnets) are super fun and, depending on how huge they are, super dangerous (I use one at work that is a 3in cube which will break every bone in your hand if your hand gets caught between it and another piece of metal/magnet, thankfull...

Re: No controller recognized

It might be the usb hub, I had quite some difficulty sourcing a cheap and small 4 port USB hub. The issue is that the Raspberry Pi Zero seems to be quite picky when it comes to USB hubs. It detects the hubs I got earlier fine but as soon as you connect a keyboard via the hub it just does not show u...

That is really interesting. I wonder what DIY application we'll see though since i...
