New to PI. Building a GBZ

So after watching wermy's videos I decided to jump in and build a gameboy zero. I got a dmg-1 from ebay with a broken screen. Purchased (hopefully) all the materials. I went with Kitsch-Bent rev. 1 pcb.

I am hoping I can reuse the original headphone jack, speaker, and volume wheel (i know a 30 year old pot is not great but oh well)

Will I run into any problems with audio output compatibility issues? I understand I need to tweak the config.txt file. Do I do this before or after I flash it to my sd card. I've never done anything with raspberry pi, or any real computer programming for that matter.

If you follow Wermy's first guide, you shouldn't have any issues at all. How's your desoldering skills?

I'm going to find out....
My neighbor is a great soldererer. He's build and modded a bunch of microphones (can you say tiny components) so I can always have him teach me. The smallest thing I've ever soldered is 18AWG wires on my scooter. :D

The Kitsch Bent Rev2 board tested my soldering ability. I almost gave up, until I gave it one more try, and took my time with it.
