I am doing that but i moved the ground back to the av out will that work long term

Should be fine.

I'd just power it from whatever power supply you are using rather than from the Pi's gpio.

how do you wire te screen. ?? I used a composite screen, so you can see the wiring here. https://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=958 The screen I used did not need any modifications to run off 5v, so it was a simple job. Depending on the screen you use you may need to modify it. Some of the commo...

White or yellow shouldn't matter. I always use yellow though. Do you have a SD card with retropi in the pi? Without a proper image the screen will not power on. You're also right, there is no settings that need to be added or removed from the config.txt You could also try powering the screen from an...

Do you have pics of the wiring? Or any more information. Can't help without.

Yeah for sure. Just a few things to check for on your next build!

Those pogo pins are D+ and D- nothing to do with power. But usb data. Which wont affect anything. Not sure why the pi doesn't contact them though. Maybe you were supposed to remove the black sheath on the headers so the pi can slide down more? Also the pi is powered via gpio. I would have resoldered...

I'm curious: is it worth it to have case borders around the screen (and Gameboy Zero screen protector)? They partially cover the screen - is it ok? I think that image can be adjusted to fit the visible part, but seems that it will be distorted. We'll since you cut out the screen it would be nice to...

I was wondering if this one could work: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CZL6QIQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A30QSGOJR8LMXA&psc...
