You can find it on aliexpress for nearly half the price (if you're patient for the delivery) : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/raspber ... 31080.html

I'm curious about the mini-HDMI cable. I found a truckload of the kind of cable (search for "fpc hdmi") but NONE with a flat mini-HDMI. From the picture it looks like a regular 90° one. a flat one would be really usefull.

*** EDIT ***
Annnd 10 minute later I found it : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Arr ... 97414.html

I used it for a mini bartop (really mini size): http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2265210

But I ordered a second one for a Gameboy 64-bit build :)

Had to cut the PCB down and loose the Micro USB port. If you leave the two pins shown It powers up just fine.

Hot tip, you can rotate the display by adding

Code: Select all

display_rotate=2
in the config.txt file

I am super new at this and am not afraid to say so. I have successfully made a few NES cart Pi's (in background of last pic) and am ready to step into the big leagues...

I can't decide to just upgrade or build a new GBZ. I already have another button board. I don't really need 2 GBZ lol. I wonder if we can root
