Hello everyone, So I am at the edge of finishing a GBZ build with tinkerBOY v3.0.1, Gearbest 3.5 screen and powerboost 1000c as my main components. While everything seemed to work ok, I closed the shell and tried to clean setup, tinkerBOY's prebuild Retropie.img... on the controller setup prompt, I ...

Thank you! There were various moments of frustration but this place is a goldmine of info

I feel you on the shell, my build was supposed to be a DMG lookalike pocket. Multiple dealings with the shell lead to stripped screw holes, which lead to a black shell instead (which I knicked on the side with a Dremel, but its not noticeable.) Good looking build. Physically cutting the Pi would be...

Greetings to this wonderful community, this is my first build, based off 3b+. This started as a white/black stormtrooper scheme, but on the process some unfortunate series of events (a butchered white shell for start) and then some more (a broken screen) and then even more (a PSV2000 joystick), chan...

Awesome! Good craftmanship, very original result and idea!
