UK Gameboy Zero - Original DMG-01 case

Post by FenderGreg » Tue Mar 19, 2019 3:04 am

So I'm starting to research my first attempt at a Gameboy Zero. Always loved the original Gameboy so am looking into using an after market DMG-01 case.
Thing is, a hell of a lot of sites and videos are USA based.
For a screen, what are good options to buy or you have used for those UK based??
Thanks

For most parts China is the best bet (especially if your on a budget), and surprisingly average delivery for me is around 2-3 weeks
(which isnt a long time)

here are some UK based sellers that you can get the main outer parts from

Case/Shell & Buttons
https://www.deadpanrobot.co.uk/game-boy-dmg

Screen Surrounds
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/jellybellymk ... 7675.l2562
https://www.bluishsquirrel.com/product/ ... creen-lens

LCD
(DON'T buy a back up camera monitor, its the worst purchase you can make)
https://uk.gearbest.com/development-boa ... wjEALw_wcB


the other parts you can source either from
Sudomod Market Place
eBay
Aliexpress

Depending on how skilled you are and how much you want to make by yourself, you may consider buying Kite´s all in one Board Circuit Sword from the ongoing pre Order.

Some excellent sources there, thanks for the help!
Will certainly have to give the circuit sword feed a read through.
Cheers!
