What is already here, or what i already ordered:
- GB case - Got it!
- GB electronics (for head phone jack, cartridge reader and on-off switch) - Got it!
- extra buttons (original gameboy, so they have the same colour) - Got it!

Re: BadBert's GBZ Build
OK, ordered the Pi0
i have a 4gb memory card lying around... is that big enough? I want to put all nintendo emulators on it with a bunch of roms....
I will buy the battery as soon as i have hacked up my case, and know how much room i have... i want to put in as big of a battery as possible will order that from hobbyking.
Still not sure about the screen... the adafruit one is quite expensive, and still on backorder.

Re: BadBert's GBZ Build
You're going to want at least a 16Gb card. 4Gb will probably not even be enough for a small distro such as Minibian. I'm using Minibian on an 8Gb card while I wait for my 32Gb card.
See here for information on screens. I bought this one.

Re: BadBert's GBZ Build
Thanks for the reply.
i'll find a 32 or 16 gb card then.
i have read the screen topic a fair bit, but most of the time i see a screen i like, with buttons, the seller does not ship to the netherlands
Most easy would be an Ebay seller.

Re: BadBert's GBZ Build
Gearbest should ship anywhere, you'll just have to wait 2-3 weeks for delivery from China.

Re: BadBert's GBZ Build
Hi Bert, where did you order the buttons? I have buttons from a knockoff SNES controller but like the original ones better.BadBert wrote:extra buttons (original gameboy, so they have the same colour)
