That looks awesome. 6 button version would be awesome.
because of Street Fighter, the plan initially was to do a 6 button PCB....

but after considering which other games would suit the 6 button layout, i decided against it.....

not many games really suit the 6 button layout (only a few at best)
the ergonomics of having 6 buttons in so close proximity to the joystick also doesn't feel or play great (IMHO)
plus i'd have to remove the B & A lettering on the case/shell or have the L1 & R1 before the B & A (just a messy setup, again IMHO)

Interesting build, I haven't seen a joystick pcb for the gameboy before, it looks like it has a 3DS circle pad on there instead of a psp1000.

there hasnt been a joystick PCB for the Game Boy....

thats the reason i came up with my own...
(i've basically ripped off Helder common ground PCB and replaced the Dpad with a joystick :oops: )

the joystick is designed to work with a PSP1000 thumb cap, but even on the PSP it isnt the best
(i've got an after market thumb cap on my PSP)

so keeping with the Nintendo theme i've used a 3DS thumb cap, the feel and play ability is a lot better than a PSP thumb cap
(ive had to combine the two, pretty much the same as Kayumba has done in his CM3 build)

Very clean as always. Excellent work! Your builds always inspire me to do my own.

This is filth. And by filth i mean filthy good 😎👌🏻 The simplicity of the white, black and grey is great. And i swear every time i do a 'clean' GBZ build i look at your build internals and need another coffee. Great work
