I've been posting images everywhere else might as well post them here. I was pretty much following the guide until I saw all the custom parts being developed. Not sure on the ETA, waiting on Cambles shutdown PCB to be ready and having a weird wireless issue where its powered up but not detected by retropie.

Update: added parts list. Mostly to see how much I've spent

Update: Finally finished my GBZ. Mostly followed the guide except for the custom parts. Decided to take out the cartridge read feature since the cartridge insert I purchased failed and just decided to forgo it.

Custom Labels I created for the community. My tech skills are minimal so my contribution are my photoshop skills.

Custom Splash screen I created. I got a few more in mind.

Dude, I really like those custom cartridge decals! I want them just to stick on anything.

I have couple extra Zelda and Robocop themed labels. Ill take $1(each) +shipping if you are interested.

Those labels are awesome!

Nice build going on. I really like the bezel trim from the old screen.

Just joined the site a few days ago but have been reading info on GBZ from here for about a week. About to start my project hopefully next week. Just taking time to read, learn, and mock up at least on paper for now what I want to do.

Would love one of those Zelda decals for my cartridge.

Can you message me payment info if still available (paypal?)

Finally done

Congratz on your first build! Why did you make such a big hole for the analog stick? oO

Because I'm an idiot and its the very first thing I did without really reading up on it =|

Such a shame. A hole a little bit smaller than the analog stick cap would have been enough

Looks good enough for me I don't mind.
