Hey BadBert. Just posted an update on the Li-Po I just ordered in the other thread...

Fair warning, it took about three weeks for it to get to me here in the States. Granted I ordered it on a Sunday...

Cheers! My second build is getting started too...overlapping my incomplete first!

I ordered the lipo that @RetroRocket tested :) that should give the 2nd GBZ enought playtime.

got my USB hub in the mail and my banggood power unit.

For a test i rewired my first gbz GB screen, to see if the picture quality would be good enough.... but i am going with the HDMI screen for my 2nd build :P

I know this takes some tinkering, but i like the challenge :P
I am going to order the screen soon!

Using the HDMI is a hassel. But it took me about 4 weeks. And the HDMI is a good thing. A verry nice screen. Good luck BadBert. And show us some nice screenshots.

Thanks! What about the screen does it get warm or hot too with a touch?
