Veteran's 2nd GBZ (HDMI Screen) (Completed)

[ekilla]

I ordered the Battery you used and got it. It has a tiny little board on it. Do you know if it´s a safety circuit for preventing overcharging or if should buy one?

Yes, that board is the protection circuitry

Thank you.

Hi Veteran,

Since I' ve read all of this post and a few other from the community, yours etc ... I am decided !
Decided to build my own GBZ .
So, bravo to you to bring this nice project here. Your GBZ custom project is really a jewel.
I have bought some of the items for building mine and I could test the hdmi screen with retropie on PI zero.
Now I have two questions about this screen:

- First, is there a way to set the colors ? The temp color seems to me a little bit too cold.

- Second, what are your settings in RETROARCH, resolution etc, but mostly for V-sync ? With V-sync on, there are still some small waves during scrolling in game. May be i' m not on the right place for this ?

Thank' s to share your projects.

not sure if you've got the exact same screen as me (there have been some slight variations to the one i bought)
also have you still got the touch panel on (removing it will make the display a bit more brighter/colorful)


also i didn't touch with any of the retroarch setting, i only edited the config.txt

heres a copy of the config.txt i had in my build
(i use Notepad++ to view/edit)

Ok thank you
I will take a look to your config.txt this evening, and ... of course i have removed the touch panel as you said
Earlier in this post.

Again, thank you.

that screen looks awsome... especially when you compare it to a BW screen!
can't wait to build mine....

where did you get that theme from btw?

The theme is downloadable from Es themes in the retropie options menu...

With this screen you can try them all and see which one you like...

The updated GBZ theme is now also available via there

Hi,
I cant find both of your mentioned themes in the options menu. Can you help me point to them?
Or tell me other sources?

Select ES themes from the retropie options menu:

- look for themes starting with ruckage, those are the nes/snes-mini themes
- other one is comicbook by TMNTturtleguy

does anyone know what the little piece for the power switch/safe shutdown is called in this pic? It's not linked anywhere in the thread. It's the piece directly under the 2 round buttons.

thats the original slide switch holder that Wermy designed.....
