Game Boy Zero - Link's Awakening edition CM3

Post by iphoneturn » Wed Dec 04, 2019 8:57 pm

Hello all!

This is my first GBZ build using Kite's Circuit Sword CM3. The shell is from Retro Modding and it feature designs based on the game The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.

Noteworthy stuff:
- Circuit Sword CM3+
- HD 640x480 Screen
- 5000mAh Li-po battery
- Super Famicom buttons
- Dual PSP joysticks
- Shoulder buttons
- Zelda themed case

The entire build took 2 days and I'm very pleased with the result. Here are some pics:

Looks good! How do you like the shoulder buttons? Debating whether to do this on my next build or not.

Really like it so far, but I’m planning to replace it with a 3DS joystick because the plastic cap get uncomfortable after a while.

Is there any impact to sound quality by gluing the entire backside? I feel like that would kill performance (or increase it?)
