Another two GBZs

Post by Rroobb21 » Fri Feb 23, 2018 11:46 am

Finished another two GBZs with kites amazing circuit sword.
I know I probably shouldn't have but a lot of original Nintendo hardware had to die to make these :lol:
You just can't beat the feel of original cases and factory snes controller buttons
Thanks to everyone that helped

Super nice!! I love the original clear DMG's...By the way, if you have some left over parts from those original gameoys (namely a working LCD PCB) i'll buy it from you...I was expecting one to be mailed, but i'm not sure if it'll ever come!

Glad to see the case reached destination without issue. Very nice build I'm not fan of clear cases but this original clear looks great!

Nice clean builds! Look at that clear dmg case, i love it! I got one original Play-it-Loud DMG with a clear case but it's a bit yellowed. :(

how well does crash bandicoot run on that pi0w?

also, do you guys do something special when using a pi3 in a hanheld, so you don't get undervolt with the powerboost 1000c? or do you just hide the lightning warning? i already disabled the wifi+blutooth

He's using a circuit sword so that's got a cm3 not a zero. Crash likely runs pretty good.

As for the pi3, I've never used one in handheld. I wonder if the generic PSU from banggood would do better, or the powerboost 1000 basic?

From what I have read/heard the power requirements between the Zero W and CM3 aren't a huge difference.
