So I tried desoldering a pi 3 to make it fit in a gameboy case cartridge slot for my second GBZ build.
Unfortunelty this proved chalenging and the usb function of the board is not working.
I know i have seen people fit an entire pi 3 in a modified gameboy case, but i cant seem to find those pictures to get an idea of how to make it fit.
Does anyone have any suggestions or know about the pics I am looking for?

Re: Pi 3 GBZ no desoldering
In the pi3 GBZ I'm making I cut a hole in the cartridge bay, and laid they pi flat so the USB and Ethernet ports stuck out the cartridge slot.

Same here, I used Kite's SAIO and simply just cut out the entire cartridge part and a little bit of the battery compartment. I'm not done yet but I'm planning on covering it up with a empty cartridge (requires precise cutting of it to make the Pi3 fit!).
A problem with this solution tho, is that you will most likely have to move or modify the powerswitch, as it presses against the USB-ports of the Pi3. @jb32647 how did you solve it btw?
