Thats a good turn around. How much will it be for the 3 + delivery?

Well Shoot... I was over on the old forum and didn't even see this. Went and did the same thing. Are your pads gold plated? its hard to tell in your pictures. My PCBs came in today.

Wow, great job on the board and thanks for collating orders for us - I'll order 2 asap.

Before that though, how easy would it be to add analogue controls to this board?

I'm hoping to play N64 on mine and have bought a 3DS analogue stick to hopefully implement.

I've been testing N64 on an RPI2 and it runs really laggy and poorly. Don't get your hopes up for it working well on an RPI0

Even on the RPI3 N64 are a bit laggy which is a bummer.

Hey guys,

Have you sorted out what kind of switches will you need apart from the board to actually make a GBZ without a GB?

I mean, if you could buy a GB DMG-01 SHELL, one of these boards, wouldn't you still be missing crucial pieces like the power switch, volume switch, audio jack, and stuff?

Thank you and pardon my ignorance!

Has someone a idea witch power switch is it? So i can order it ;)?
I too am really interested in power switch! I haven't been able to find a suitable one.. I have bought some of these: (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-10PC ... 93839.html) which while they only have 3pins (so not the same as the original) I'm hoping the slide action and size will fit in the original switch plastic bit.. I'm making a custom PCB so exact part not necessary, but one that will fit and operate correctly is a must!
Im using this for the Audio switch, Its fairly simple to understand and switches the speaker to the headphone jack and back again nicely:
