Gameboy Advance Shell

Post by HylianWarrior » Tue Sep 20, 2016 10:33 pm

Hi guys! I'm new here, and this may have been asked already but I couldn't find it in the previous topics so I'm not sure.

Is there or has there been any variations of the Game Boy Zero made in a Game Boy Advance shell (like this? http://amzn.co/dp/B00YZYZAVQ)
I think I can fit most of the parts in with my RPi Zero, but I'm not sure if there are any existing PCB designs I can use. Anyone heard or seen anything like this yet?

Ahhh now if only that PCB accounted for X + Y buttons... :?
Maybe I'll have to learn how to do that. Unless of course anyone else has any ideas/solutions?

Everything put together sooner or later falls apart.

He was kind enough to release the files so you could get a blank board easily. I can even upload it to oshpark.com for purchase but be aware you will need to buy all parts needed and solder them yourself.

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

I ended up going with the original gameboy model, it's fine (I actually ordered one of your 2.0 boards). It would be cool to see one of these similar to the one you make come out eventually though!
