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
I know this takes some tinkering, but i like the challenge
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.

I wonder whats the pi's temperature after playing for hours on this?
Do you know how much current the hdmi screen draws?
