The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.......
the good news the adapter works, and sits perfectly in the gameboy case (The Good).....
the plan is to have the Pi Zero positions so you can access the SD card, as the HDMI port is being used there is no option for HDMI out (not that i'm aware off)
this is where things went a bit down hill.... the aim for my builds is always to make them look clean (and as factory as posible)...
the cable i was intending to use seem like a good cable to use (and still might be)
but it need alot of the plastic around it to be removed, i thought i had removed as much as i needed.....
but it still wouldnt allow the Pi Zero to be positioned where i wanted it (it would have been fine, if i moved/positioned the Pi Zero somewhere else )
so in the process of trying to remove the extra plastic so the cable would be even more slim line, i ended up butchering the cable (The Bad)
and believe me those two plastic piece are glue/moulded/reinforced to the cable...
i've ordered a few more cables, but now its that waiting game (aliexpress)
I've wasted too much time on this build, and because i bought so many different cables, i gone to plan b (The Ugly)
i still had the flat FPV cable... and instead of waiting posibly another month or more for the replacement cables im using the FPV (just get this build done)
i tried to butcher the case as little as posible....
it fits perfectly (and i'm commited with this now)
and once the cartridge is over it, no one will know.....
i'll have the build finished by the end of the week (hopefully, but minus a safe shutdown)
