Sander's GBZ Build

Post by sander » Sun Jul 17, 2016 3:21 am

Here is my build:

I did some stuff different:
- Placed the battery inside the game cardrigde (may even make it swappable)
- Used an Arduino instead of a Teensy for button input to keyboard commands conversion
- Used a different charger board that fits nicely behind the power port in the GameBoy case

I may even upgrade the battery or make in swappable in the future as I have
more space but for now it is fine.

How well does that charger board work? Have you played it extensively ?

I see that there are atleast 3 posts in this forum asking how to connect the power switch to the power boost board.

Can you please tell us how you wired the power switch to the power boost board?

Thanks
