Well here it is all finished up, nothing fancy except I did add a Mono speaker input and Speaker Output where the original speaker is for easy audio mounting. I'm going to order a 3 batch from OSHPark and if it's all good to go I'll post the buy links and anyone else who is doing the GBC mod that wants the other 2 boards of the 3 just send me a PM and I'll send you one free except you pay postage.

I just bumped on this screen while looking for 2.5 inch screens suitable for GBC...

http://m.ebay.com/itm/Dental-Super-Cam- ... nav=SEARCH

It says is 5v but the resolution is 558 × 234 (16:9 ??)

Do you think it's any good?

Edit* on second thought I could make a custom half GB and plug it on top... !!!!

Thanks
Thanos

There is a good chance but I need a GBA to copy the boards dimensions and I don't have one. I'm doing a Gameboy Pocket too that DirtyBeagels is sending me.

I ended up going with another Manufacturer since OSHPark was expensive so I'll have 10 instead of 3 boards coming in.

What do you think? :lol:

Only problem is that it likely doesn't have a controller board like ones we see for cars that everyone is using but worth a shot.

Nice job!! Any plans to add more buttons to the pcb in the future to make it playable for other systems?

It's tight so not sure, I can add them but will people using this board plan to add more buttons? If so I can do something for it.

I guess it would depend on the orientation of the buttons. I'm sure no one will want it to cut into the Nintendo logo. It would have to be arranged differently this time around.

On second thought you're right this build would be simpler with systems like gameboy, gameboy color, and nes so no need.
