Hello everyone!
I finished my first gameboy zero last week and I already started to order parts for an upgraded version. I would like to reuse parts from my first build like the safe shutdown switch along with the Adafruit powerbooster. I am planing to use tinkerBOY’s DPI screen and AIO board. My question is will the Adafruit powerbooster supply enough amps to power a DPI screen, the AIO board and a Pi3 b+/a+?
Any input would be great.
Happy building!

Re: Pi3 power requirements
I know the powerboost 1000c will do well to power the
DPI and a Raspberry Pi 3A+
Butttttttt, the RP3b and 3b+ do require more power,
I tried to make a Gameboy out using my old RPI3b
and the powerboost couldn't hack it.
But Helder sells a really good and more powerful PSU
that has a higher amp output than the powerboost and
it is a comparable price to the powerboost.

I did see the more powerful PSU.
My issue is I would like to reuse the powerbooster and safe shutdown I already own. Sounds like my current best options would be using the Zero I already own or getting an A+.
Thank you for the information.
I will need to do some reading on the Pi A+. I know it has half the ram as the B+ but nothing outside of that.
