Hey guys,

Im looking to build a Gameboy zero, similar to what wermy did in his video. Ideally I'd like to make it so it has wifi capability, meaning I could just download new games but Im not sure on how to actually go about doing all of this.

Im ordering a standard gameboy case off of ebay that has buttons and the Dpad included but as Im new to all of this I could do with some help.

So Im open to any advice that can be given.

Thanks

Hi !

You should read the wiki, watch the videos on youtube and search this forum.
If you build the GBz with a Pi Zero, you will have wifi able build by default.

Yeah. Just make sure to buy a pi zero W with built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Definatley a good call to check the wiki for more info, you won't be able to find an all in one board easily, so look into simple pcbs and gpio controls too.

I also suggest the gearbest screen and banggood powerboost. The screen needs no mods and the banggood powerboost are much cheaper than adafruits powerboost.

One with volume pot soldering pads and built-in power strip: http://blog.tinkerboy.xyz/game-boy-cont ... tinkerboy/

I have used both of those pcbs. Both are good choices!

Do you have a link for the Gearbest screen?

This is the one! https://www.gearbest.com/development-bo ... 29447.html

Just remember, you need to do the jumper in the IC (see wiki from forum here: https://www.sudomod.com/wiki/index.php? ... est_Screen_ )
