Hey all, pretty basic question here, but I'm wondering if all the great minds have figured it out yet. So the original gameboy shells have a nice B, A, select and start on them. This, obviously gets covered up if and when we decide to paint our gameboy shells. Now, this does give a clean look to it,...

sorry to be a bear, but other then the resistances on the board, is there any sort of guide for like which SMD Capacitors go where?
