@deltashadow and @wermy
What should be the length for my wires from PCB to Teensy LC? I don't want to make it too long to take up too much space inside but also dont want to make it too short.?

In video 2 it doesn't really say.

This is a thing that I was wondering as well but I looked at this

and guessed based on that I made mine about as long as the gameboy case.

Definitely don't make it too short but make it long enough. Later, you can just cut and remove excess wires in the middle and reconnect by soldering and covering with heat shrink tubing to make it neat.

Sorry to Hijack this thread, but seems to much to open a new one for 1 question...
(maybe make this the general topic for questions like: "will this work?"

My question:
Can you also fit the 2.500mah battery in the case?
This one for example: https://www.electronic-shop.lu/EN/products/144904
Or in other words...what is the biggest size you can put in the GB?
Adafruit shipping is way to expensive, so I'm looking on Aliexpress or the site from .lu as mentioned above.
The 2000mah battery they have is also a little wider then the one on Adafruit...

You could probably also differentiate between different wires by putting stripes on them with a marker or something...
Another way to keep track of the wires could be to take lots of photos, and then you can upload them here afterwards! :D

@Deltashadow Thank brotha yeah that definitely helps. I made the lengths slightly bigger than the gameboy.. (wish I saw this photo before I started last night).

@Chiz hahah love your profile pic it all makes sense now.

Those are both great ideas and I am now planning on doing both.

So radio shack has the ohm resistors but for capacitors they have UF capacitors not nf. Does that make a difference? ( I could order of Amazon but I don't need 60- 100 pieces of them

see this is what I'm looking at
