Great work, thanks for this! :D I just order the extra 3d printed parts. :). My daughter and I are working on this project and are collecting all the parts, should have every thing in the next couple of weeks and we can start.

Hello, first, thanks for this guide. Could you please upload some scheme or plan (diagram) for welding different components?
It's really difficult to follow each weld and avoid mistakes.
I follow this project from day one and I've already ordered all components.

I'm going to go through the video guides frame by frame (well almost) when it comes to the soldering parts so I can see exactly what is being done where. Then, I intend to slowly write down exactly what each one is in order to create a plan for myself to follow along with the videos. That approach might help you.

Incidentally Wermy if you read this, can I ask where you sourced the multicoloured ribbon cable for the volume control from? I want to try and follow along as closely as possible but I'm not sure what to search for when looking for that on ebay. I also haven't been able to find a cartridge reader on it's own, so I bought a broken ds lite from ebay to desolder it from, would that work alright? Thanks! :)

I can't seem to find the "GBA cartridge slot from a DS-Lite" anywhere on eBay :( Any replacements?

I bought 2 from here. They aren't exactly the same as Wermy used but they do the same thing.

Gadammit! Wish I'd known about that before buying a knackered ds lite to desolder it from!

Can anyone recommend a decent suitable LiPo battery available in the UK?

No guarantees they work with the 3D printed parts.

Hey @wermy! Thx a lot to finish this build, you GBZ looks amazing!

One question, can you share the .stl used for the blocks to fix the rpi and volume wheel? Is more clean than perfboard.

Thx!
