My GBZ may not look particularly interesting, but I made it as clean as possible. Of course it is a no glue gun. I made it so that it can be disassembled for future failures.

GBZ is a genuine shell. The switch panel via 3.5LCD and GPIO is nothing strange, but the battery was 5000mhA. This was in a mobile battery I bought for about 5 USD. The noise filter is an application of high cut and high pass, and was made using two PCBs for SOT23. It was my first time even with a Raspberry Pi, but it was a great experience.
I'm a guitar repairman, so there are many machine tools in the company. It was a lot of fun to process. *I usually enjoy repairing Vintage Macs.

Next up I have a 3.2 LCD project. However, when I tried to purchase a conversion board and LCD from Pocket Adventures, the seller did not accept any PayPal ID other than the PayPal ID made in the United States :roll: . I would like to contact John Till, but does anyone know the contact information?

Yes! Thx so much man! It's awesome!
I'm familiar with the Mac and I worked at an authorized Apple retailer around 1990.

Looks great! How are you loading the games? Is it using an cartridge card reader or?
