I will have to take a look about that ground and get back to you.

As for the soldering... yeah, you need such a little amount of solder. maybe do every other connection and use such a slight amount. just touch it. With the bridges, you can use the chisel or wedge tip and swipe down the connections to move the solder bridges. Braid then to clean it up. I watched every surface mount soldering video on youtube I could find and they are masters but the techniques are sound, even if I can barely do even one of them.

Such a pain but you get better at it. Takes practice for sure and surface mount is a totally different animal then soldering wires for sure.

Do you have a controller board for the LCD?

No, kite said he's going to make a board for that display so I'll just wait on that.

Oh cool. I took the pictures of my board for him but didn't know he was going to make it that quick. One that is smaller and runs off of 5v? That would be amazing!!!

Does anyone know the specs for the Gamepad speakers? What type of amplifier can we use for them? (if there's 2 speakers, do we need a special amplifier or will this one work?)

I think I'm taking my Gamepad project in a slightly different direction. Parts should be here tomorrow so I'll know whether or not it will work out soon... If it does work out though, it will be awesome.

Just answer me one question. Which pi are you using?

It's not a Pi.

Can't wait to see how you managed to get a whole original Atari 2600 into this

Will a pi 2 fit in? I haven't bought any parts yet but would like to have ago at this project.
