Full List of Parts to Buy

Post by esotericsean » Sat Sep 03, 2016 12:59 pm

Hey guys,

So I recently watched all of wermy's videos on building the GBZ. And now I'm seeing all of the parts you guys are making to make things simpler. I just received my Raspberry Pi and my Gameboy is on the way.

There's so much information here, it's a bit overwhelming and would take me quite a while to read through everything. Is there some sort of updated list for the best/simplest parts to use?

Thanks!

Sean

There is a list of necessary components in the Wiki: http://sudomod.com/wiki/index.php?title=Game_Boy_Zero
This list contains everything you need for the original GBZ-Modification made by [mention]wermy[/mention].
As far as I understand this, if you are going to use [mention="helder"]helder's[/mention] board (http://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1034), you won't need
- to build an andio filter
- to include an amp
- to include an usb-hub
- to mess around with the original board, coppertape and stuff

Since you are a beginner (like me), taking a look at [mention="kite"]kite's[/mention] project might be an idea: http://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=243
If this works, there will be an even easier solution with less soldering, glue and stuff.

The board also has a drill template to always put the X & Y holes in the correct location, it also has the Atmega chip for controls preprogrammed.

You will need a speaker,headphone socket a volume potentiometer, a power supply and battery and screen to complete the build.

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

Thank you so much Spaddel and Helder! Very very helpful. I'm okay at soldering, so hopefully I should be able to complete this well enough. But, lots of good resources here. Cheers!
