For power wires, use 24 gauge wire or larger. 24 gauge is rated for 2.1A.

Whoa... redo your you 5V mod. The wire that you added is all frayed out on one side by the connector. No telling what contacts that is sending 5V to.

Also, looks like some solder has fallen on the connector pins that the screen's ribbon cable connects to. Some pins now look bridged together.

What MAME romset are you using?

I'm having a little trouble with my MAME setup. Some games boot while others don't. I think some of my romsets are being ran on some incompatible emulators. Note: I'm using Kite's v1 board with a pi zero. (There is no issue with Kite's board. It's awesome. Just stating my GBZ specs) My Question: Tho...

Re: Custom Orange-Pi Portable

Just thinking about the positioning of the left joystick and D-pad. What systems do you plan on playing mostly? Most retrogames only support the D-pad. Even for the PS1, there are just a few games that use the joysticks. I would put what you think would be used more in the top circular area of the l...
