They posted about it a couple of hours ago. I already ordered some! And they specifically reference the Game Boy Zero project!

Great guys over there.

Thank you I just ordered mine this morning...

I wanted to move the guts from my original Gameboy to an Orange replacement case for my daughter to play with and this solve that issue.

Yeah i moved mine to a black shell because i have always wanted a black GB. Can still use the same controller board but these pre-made ones make it sooo much less daunting.

I ordered two more GB cases (with buttons and silicon) from China, and two of the ABXY boards. My plan is to build wermy's original design as close as possible to learn more about the inner workings. Then I'll use the other cases to build some more with some tweaks, using the new boards and proper screen. One is black and the other is original grey.

Hmmm... the pads for the X and Y buttons look pretty far away vertically from A and B...wonder if they're going to run into the bottom of the display?

I found you could also by the common ground PCB @supergamegirl.com -> http://www.supergamegirl.com/product/pr ... uit-boards
At least I think they are the same, they look the same!

But does anyone know what the other parts are and what they actually could be used for ? There's no documentation on the site.
