Cant decide where to start....

Post by Jwad410 » Thu Feb 23, 2017 2:12 pm

I have emassed a tone of items to use on my upcoming GBZ build and wanted some input. I will be building two projects and was hoping for some input. Here's a few selection of cases I have pulled out and am having trouble deciding where too start. I want one project very standard using just two face buttons for simple consoles like the nes, sms, tg16, gamegear etc anything that needs just two face buttons and the dpad. I want too do a build in the ganeboy pocket which would be perfect but have no idea where to find a small 2.3" ish screen to fit in the small gb pocket case. My second project I plan on making it a more of an all around console playing everything up too ps1. I have multiple Rpi Zeros as well as a few Rpi3s... just don't know where I should start case wise. I also have an old buster game gear which seemed like it could give lot more room for maybe a Rpi3 any pointers guys?

Also if anyone could point me in the direction of a screen I could fit into the small game boy pocket form factor as I absolutely love that system and am dying to bring new life into it. Thanks all

Welp, here's too hoping these 2 screens csn be easily modded for 5v .

Got the typical BW 3.5" screen from amazon and was able to find a 2.5" made by Gazer for a GB Pocket build.

Can't wait too get off work, Crack these guys on open and start my builds. These screens were (hopefully) the last components I needed. Wish me luck yall, I'll post pictures periodically of the build :)
