HoolyHoo's GBZ with Kite's SAIO

[HoolyHoo]

I'm really digging the all black thing you've got going on there.

Where'd you get the case with the black Nintendo text?

Interesting. All the ones from suppliers I've found so far are the original blue color. Black is neat for yours for sure.

A bit off topic but did anybody take their GBZ built onto a airplane? Its perfect to kill the time during the flight but with all this wires and a more or less open li-ion battery could there be an issue?
Anybody ideas about the regulations for such "equipment"?

It was marked on the side of the battery on mine although I double checked it with a multimeter just in case. Off the top of my head I believe it was the first and third pin.

Battery is working well. I am currently getting over five hour playtime.

thanks for your help

AFAIK all the galaxy and note family of phone batteries use pin 1 (closest to edge of battery) as positive, and 3rd for negative. I know the S1-S5 and Note1-4 use that pinout for sure, as I've owned them all...not sure about anything newer, as they're "non-removable" batteries. They probably also use the same pinout and are probably thinner than the S1-5 or Note1-4 batteries, and could be another battery option depending on build.

Pictures seems fine to me.
I used pogo pins from an old Motorola phone but this is probably a better option as it jives with the battery.

Just connect plus and minus of battery to the appropriate pins.
