Sweet, that's perfect! I tested my pi zero with a stick image of retro pi, I'll need to download and take a look at the config now. Thanks Helder!

I've got a bare bones 2.4" SPI screen and am looking to order the breakout board by veterangamer. I'd like to use the one he has for the game boy zero, with the 90 degree turn. Does anyone know how to tell what direction the screen will be oriented? It looks like I need the ribbon to come off the ri...

Even using 1/4 inch, your going to need to either thin the areas where plugs and buttons go or use bigger holes and longer buttons. Would still be worth it.

Thanks, just one follow up question. Is there a trade off with using the VCC instead of a separate pin?

Ah, I was searching the wrong sub forum. Exactly what I was looking for, much obliged!

I read over multiple builds and the only thing I can't seem to find is what I need for a battery monitor and how to co...
