Gameboy zero pocket build
Hi..... Nate here and i'm building a Gameboy zero pocket with a 3.5 inch screen ,rasp pi zero,2200 mAh bat,teensy 2.0,power boost 1000c,2.5 class D amp one full sized usb and micro usb. Its my first time doing a build log type of thing but i'm very determined to do this to the best of my ability. I'm open to suggestions or advise let me know what you think. I'll be implementing a lot different features from various pi zero projects. This is my practice case for the project its a Atomic Purple MGB-001 housing. My donor MGB-001 is a Japanese black model that i obtained for 16 dollors. So far I have fitted the 3.5" screen, it wouldn't fit at first but with a little case moding it did quite well. I now have all of my needed supplies. i cut out the controller pcb and remove all the unnecessary parts.

Re: Gameboy zero pocket build
The GBZ is an amazingly fun project. You'll enjoy it. Just be patient with it and walk away when it gets frustrating. My piece of advice: Since you're using a clear case, you're going to have to be spectacular with wire management and optimizing space. Since it is clear, you can see all pieces, all efforts, and all mess ups, accidents, and lazy spots. Do it well, since you're going to have to look at your work.natethegreat28 wrote:Hi i'm Nate and will building a gameboy zero pocket with a 3.5 inch screen ,rasp pi zero,2200 mAh bat.
