Re: [POWERBANKS] Charging & battery for GBZ

Re: [WIP] Project RetroBoy; a custom CAD drawn Gameboy case

I think everyone leaves the rounded corner simply because it's the easiest route. I would personally prefer a square screen in a custom build.

Re: Looking to 3D print a gameboy power switch

Looks suitable for printing, but there will need to be some subtle design changes to make it optimal.

Re: Anyone else using LQ035NC111 LCD?

I'm afraid I have no idea how to resolve this for you. The top two chips are pretty standard linear regulators at 3.3V and 1.8V output respectively.
