Ed Mandy has AIO kits , but I don't know when they'll become available again. He left on some kind of trip and hasn't updated his blog in a while.
We are definitely still working on these, but we haven't updated http://gamepieadvance.com/ in quite a while. As you mentioned, I have been traveling quite a bit, and my partner in this (that does PCB design) has been very busy with other work.

I plan to get a bunch of these ready again in the near future. If you're interested, please let me know. People have been leaving comments on the http://gamepieadvance.com/2016/09/09/wo ... eparation/ page. I'm hoping that the more people we get posting about wanting them NOW the more I can guilt my partner into working on it ASAP. 8-)

UPDATE: I posted about setting up a PREORDER of our kits at http://gamepieadvance.com/2016/11/30/pr ... elopments/

I only lost one original screw hole if I could of found a smaller usb hub it would of been better, but I trimmed it as much as I could if I can find a really tiny hub I think I can squeeze a 2000mah battery in.
ive made a lead so can plug a battery bank into the ext usb port and power it off that or can plug one in the charge port as well but it uses more than you can put in that way.

Yes the 2 white boards are part of the original board and the blue boards are the display driver and the power board for charging and boosting to 5v.

I just spent $110 US getting supplies for this build. I hope I don't mess up this one. -Shipping was half of the price- :lol:

I really need a help, I have the original pcb of a gba, I understand everything about the welding of the buttons, but I do not understand the energy and where to weld the ground, if possible if they could guide me I would be very grateful.
