Looking to buy a pocketsprite!

Post by AutobotGameboy » Fri May 01, 2020 1:17 pm

I already ordered a pocketsprite and while I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail I wanted to get another one because my hope is to use it to create a hardware clone that fits in the shell of a vmu. That being said I was hoping to possibly buy a second-hand one for a lower price. For all intents and purposes I'm probably going to butcher the circuit board in the pocketsprite so if you already have a damaged screen, I'll take it!

So my own curiousity, why not just build the VMU pi zero on GitHub?

Because the vmu only has enough buttons to play Gameboy and Gameboy Color games, the Raspberry Pi is to power demanding to make a device with decent battery life, and and esp32 is smaller than the Raspberry Pi zero and sports a faster boot time.

Ahhhhh I get it now. I didn't realize the pocketsprite wasn't a zero either.
