I see you'll be using a teensy too? I will be following this closely then. You will be going step by step with that also?

Nice!

I was thinking about doing a vlog of my on again off again build.

I need to find a week when I have all the parts to put into doing this.

Will follow your progress, good luck!!!

Yup, I will be using a teensy and going over step by step on what I did to get mine up and running with the PCB board that I have. I should be uploading that video hopefully this week sometime. It will most likely be in part 3 of my video series. Part 1 just went up moments ago, part 2 I should have up today or tomorrow, and part 3 shortly fallowing that.

You should defiantly give it a try. The more videos that we have out there the better.
Thanks for the support.

Hey guy, just wanted to let you all know that part 1 of the build guide has been posted. This video is called "Game Boy Zero Guide Part 1 - How To Install Retropie On Raspberry Pi Zero". In it I show how to install Retropie onto an sd card. As well as how to import ROMs to Retropie via USB stick. Diffidently check it out if that something you might be interested in and don't forget to subscribe for the rest of the Game Boy Zero Build. Link to the video below.

Nice videos so far. I've already built two GBZ's but I still like to see what other people have done.

Thank you. That would be awesome if you could post a few photos of the ones that you have built. I would definitely like to see what you have done. Possibly get some ideas for mine from them.
