First Build GBZ CM3

[Julago]

My adventure startet when I bought an unfinished project on sudomod from user darthf1 including a lot of parts and kites circuit sword viewtopic.php?f=50&t=8982. I wanted a pure black theme and bought a new black translucent shell and other parts and tools and began the assembly. I ran into problems with the display cable which maybe had been bent too often and I decided to wait for the next round and order the 640x480 display from kite. Meanwhile i made my own custom catridge out of an original black game cartridge and a self designed 3d-printed ventilation insert. Finally i assembled the new screen and finished my first build. It is not perfect but it was a great adventure and i like it a lot. I learned a lot by reading this forum and kites wiki. I want to thank darthf1, kite and everyone at the forums for pointing me in the right direction.

Looks great, really like the gameboy zero logo how did you do that, it looks mirrored.

I bought this logo from a german ebay shop called retro-hero: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Game-Boy-Zero- ... Swhu9bx~wn. Its some kind of metal and available in different colours. Unfortunately i didnt manage to align the ‚zero‘ part exactly. There is just one try. Maybe i buy another and try again.

Thanks for the link. I really didn't even notice that until you pointed it out but now I can't unsee it.

Its like a dead pixel. Once you've seen it, you always see it.
