I can do that and sticky one of the more recent threads, any suggestions?

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

yes do it. The following topic is much more active and the CAD is almost finished and working. I've started checking some measurements, the model is exact and well designed.

Hia!

All is well again, sorry to kept you waiting for two years.

I'm in a better position now and should hopefully make some progress soon.
Will show you in a separate post how it would look like.
Also I'm better at 3D cad and engineering now so that should help.

So what took me two years?
Well around two years ago, some might know from Discord, my position at work became kinda ugly.
I worked at a university and I kinda also needed them for my engineering degree I did separately.
Things became ugly as I wanted to leave and they couldn't find someone else... so they basically kept me failing on 1 subject.
After some mediation (and 5 people got fired (send on early retirement so they wouldn't loose face but everyone knew)) which took one year I finally got to do my thesis. The uni has presented iSP with a degree, iSP is free! :D

Right now I'm in a stable position at another place for half a year now... I had to start from zero but making good progress towards nice salary. As things begin to settle down I have more time to spend on projects... and as my other hobby is getting nowhere this makes a great project to spend some more time on. Will have to do some catching up as I got no idea what hardware I would want... got a pcb's by both Kite and Helder so I guess I'll start from there. Also I want/need one of those square glass screens... haven't been able to figure out yet where to get it / haven't found the thread yet. The case isn't ready, see some imperfections but the basis still works and will present you with some assembly... It never got to that point but I guess now I know how I could share at least those =)

Hey ISP,

just found this Topic and I fell in love with it.
Your designs look really amazing!

Are you still working on it?
I'm finally working on my Gameboy Zero and catching impressions.

best regards
Ray
