Hello, my name is James and I live in Cambridge, UK. I found this site/forum through the Raspberry Pi official twitter. I've never done any modding other than failing to cut a window into a PC case about 15 years ago, so I'm starting from scratch (including buying all the tools/parts from scratch, which has not been cheap).

So far, I've bought all this - and a bit more.. Nearly £90 so far... But I can't wait to really get stuck in.



I'm a bit nervous to fire up my rotary cutter and get stuck in

Hi Guys,

i am also new, BadBert from Hoogerheide in The Netherlands

i found this place via youtube.

I also want to build a GBzero...

i am now in the process of getting a good parts list together, and finding out where to get all the stuff from!
Most important is the screen... already looked at the wiki, but if anyone has a perfect ebay link.... just pass me that via PM

Hi all, my names is James and live in Auckland, New Zealand. Being 37 years old I have very nostalgic feelings towards gen 3 and 4 gaming consoles. My 14 year old self would have literally blew his mind with the idea of a gameboy looking device that was also a Megadrive/SNES/SF2 emulator.

Currently playing around with a Pi2 inside a full size arcade cabinet using Ipac2 etc. I now have nearly all the parts, just need to put it all together. Seems Pi Zeros are nearly impossible to get a hold of but keen to have a go at a GBZ, learning soldering etc on the way.

This forum has been helpful and informative so far, thought it was time to sign up and introduce myself.

Hi all, My name's Ben/Adelphos, 23 From the UK. I've had my eye on building a Gameboy Zero for a while, but my girlfriend has just also showed interest in one too so we're taking the plunge together. I have a (Somewhat unused) degree in Electronic Engineering, and currently work in medical equipment repairs so the soldering and tinkering side for me should be nice and straight forward but i'm looking forward to showing my other half how to solder etc. I'd love to try squeeze a PI 3 in a DMG case at some point too, but i think i'll get the zero out of the way first!
