Finished my 1st Gameboy SNES zero
Kites SAIO
Veco speaker
Original SNES buttons
Original NES dpad
DexTech battery
Kubino machined Case
YaYa box art
Erik_gee rear button bracket
Just want to thank everyone for the awesome parts and help.
I’m abit of a perfectionist and so pleased with how it came out hardly any glue used and all the buttons the same height and feel.

Thank you for the mention !
Nice build :D where di you get that support stand ?
Also, i would advise to take out some kapton from the SoC as you will likely insulate it and thus make it get hotter.

Looks AMAZING! Top tip that might make assembly slightly easier.. you see where you have hooked the L1 and R1 buttons up by using both of those 3pin cables (and cutting the red pin off both) .. well you could JUST use the "R" one, and wire the RED cable up to L1.. this makes it easy to connect and close up because you don't have to have that extra cable and plug it in when closing it.. (does all this make sense?) .. the labels "L1 L2 R1 R2 etc are just labels they don't actually mean anything, you could plug it into ANY combination and it doesn't matter (because when you "configure input" in ES, you assign the buttons to the function) :) otherwise looks AMAZING! :D
Yep makes perfect sense. Thanks kite
