Re: alien0matics build or a newbie learning soldering

I know, but where do I put it. I thought about the battery bay. But I know that I'm going to open it every time and switch the power on and off. This way the battery door won't hold long. So far everyone asked me on how to shot down the Game Boy, I think it's ok the way it is. At least for now ;)

Re: alien0matics build or a newbie learning soldering

Re: alien0matics build or a newbie learning soldering

It runs absolutely fine with 5V without modifying anything. All you have to do is cutting down the board. The overall screen quality is bad, so I opted for a better looking one.

Re: alien0matics build or a newbie learning soldering

Now I just added dominators screen cover. It was a tight fit and stayed in, so I thought that there is no need to glue it on.
