Pi3 power requirements

[jelkein]

Hello everyone!
I finished my first gameboy zero last week and I already started to order parts for an upgraded version. I would like to reuse parts from my first build like the safe shutdown switch along with the Adafruit powerbooster. I am planing to use tinkerBOY’s DPI screen and AIO board. My question is will the Adafruit powerbooster supply enough amps to power a DPI screen, the AIO board and a Pi3 b+/a+?

Any input would be great.
Happy building!

I dont think so. You are better off going with something like Helder's Retro PSU.

yeah, definitely not for all that. i think helder's psu is sold out until the new model comes out tho. tinkerboy's psu should also support that, but i think there are shipping delays currently for him too.

i've used this a couple times recently, but i can't vouch for how well it lasts under load. it is pretty inexpensive, which might be a bad sign, but it says it should do 2A, so it might support what you have listed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PZT3ZW2
