Posting pictures helps but it's likely the wires need shielding to block interference from the other wires and components likely close to the speaker wires or amp.

Thanks a lot! I was kind of figuring it could be an interference problem. I'll research some good methods or wires to use

To anybody that can help me, I've installed an adafruit max98357 I2S amp and the sound works but is accompanied by some crackling. Some games are worse than others which I thought was a little strange. Also, when I hold the input wires together between my fingers the crackling goes away, for some ga...

Can't you use a 2.2 or 2.4 inch screen for this? The over scan is a waste of the screen size. I'm sure they would still work for most people. It took me a long time to settle on the 2.8. I was constantly remeasuring the opening and the sizes of the different screens. According to the measurements t...

It's a shame you can't get a bunch of red pixels under the battery indicator to make it look lit Haha, I totally thought about that too. It would make it so much easier. I'm thinking the gap I'm leaving between the screen and case will be enough to wire a 3mm led or something. We'll see how that tu...

Thanks for the info! It's nice to be able to use the original screen protector.

No problem. I'm glad I can help.

Here are the overscan settings I am using. Now it's a matter of customizing the aspect ratio of each emulator so they fit perfect on the screen. I came across a thread that described how to do that. It looked pretty easy from what I remember.

I also shaved down the DMG indicator light housing slightly because 1.) I will try to wire in a red led later for a more stock look, and 2.) a slight shave off keeps a stock looking distance between the screen and the screen protector. It's not much, maybe an 1/8 inch but I don't want the screen to ...

Sorry it's hard to see because I reinforced the connections with hot glue but I have pin location pics specific to our hardware, granted you're using the pi zero. I just lined up the pi gpios to the gpios of the pitft according to the square 3.3 v gpio. You can see the mods I made to the pitft. I sh...

I ended up figuring it out late last night. It was the overscan_scale=1. I just uncommented the line and the scaling worked for emulation station. I was ecstatic! Lol. It was kind of a shot in the dark cause I was reading something about it on another forum but it wasn't too clear, so I just tried i...

After a lot of digging through different forums I found a way to get my screen size to match the original game boy screen cutout/protector. Under "sudo nano /boot/config.txt" there is a line called "#overscan_scale=1". This must be uncommented after you make any overscan changes for emulation statio...
