Re: The GigaBox, Take 1 (My first GBZ)

The build is a whole, royal mess of melted plastic and super glue. Everything works, but it's ugly as hell.

Re: Game Boy 3 A+

I don't know why I love that JST jungle so much, but I do. Nice work, man.

I ordered a 3A+ for just this purpose just this morning. Love my Zero W, but I found myself wanting more.

Edit: Just saw what you did there with the button board. Clever.
