[WIP] fdeluxes Game Boy Zero

Post by fdeluxe » Mon Nov 07, 2016 2:11 pm

Hi,

I've reached a state where I am very eager to present you my Game Boy Zero build! It comes with some gimmicks, like a customizable RGB LED behind the speaker grill :D The color can be changed by simultaneously pressing the small mode button in the upper left and the A/X/Y button. The color is saved to the teensys EPROM and is preserved even though the system is shut off. The teensy also features a Keyboard/Mouse-Mode for games like Quake 3 Arena and retroarch-configuration and a simple Gamepad-Mode.

Right now I am handling volume control via software. I hooked up the potentiometer to the teensy and assigned volume-hotkeys to its values using triggerhappy. Unfortunately the deamon crashes very often and I have to use the ingame menu to control the volume :( I gonna change my wiring in the future to directly control the volume through the potentiometer.

I also want to ditch USB Audio in the future and go for PWM. I simply cannot stand that my splashscreen video has no sound :D

Splashscreen video (link in description): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7M2h-G ... e=youtu.be
Teensy Code (sorry for the german documentation): http://pastebin.com/F7ybmifS

Code: Select all

/* Teensy mit zwei Modi: Gamepad mit Analogstick und Tastatur mit Maus (PC Modus)
 *  
 *  Standardmäßig ist der Gamepad-Modus aktiviert.
 *  Durch die Tastenkombination: Mode-Button+Select lässt sich zwischen den Modi wechseln
 *  Im PC-Modus wird der Analogstick als Maus erkannt und die normalen Knöpfe werden als Buchstaben ausgegeben. R1 und R2 fungieren als Maustasten.
 *  Weitere Kombos:
 *  Mode+DPAD_UP = Pfeiltaste Hoch
 *  Mode+DPAD_DOWN = Pfeiltaste Runter
 *  Mode+DPAD_LEFT = Pfeiltaste Links
 *  Mode+DPAD_RIGHT = Pfeiltaste Rechts
 *  Mode+B = Enter
 *  Mode+START = Escape
 *  Mode+A/X/Y = Farbwert erhöhen (maximal auf 10, dann springt er wieder auf 0)

Love the L & R buttons~ I'm curious if you managed to keep the working cartridge reader with that snes L & R button setup?

Unfortunatly not. I did a first build where I put the LR buttons a little deeper and could keep the cartridge reader. But I ditched this for ergonomic reasons. In the end the cartridge reader is just for nostalgia anyways :D

If you also want to use the SNES L&R buttons I would suggest that you put them like 1.00 - 1.50 cm higher than I did. In their current position I am still struggeling to find a comfortable way to press them.

Looks like you didn't have to use the "vertical aligned buttons" like the Kite's build did to use the 3DS analog stick. Can I see the inside of your build to see how the psp stick is mounted?

Also, does anyone know if the Kite build will accept the psp analog stick? I can't ask in the Kite thread because it's locked.

I don't see why it couldn't.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I was worried that may be your answer, haha. I'd love to use the SNES L&R buttons -and- have a working cartridge reader since I already shelled out for a cartridge pcb. But I may have to resort to smaller L&R buttons to get it to work. Thanks for your input on ergonomics as well, this is something I'm working with myself.

Keep up the great work!

I will post some pics of the interior tomorrow. As for the analog stick, the placement is pretty easy since the stick fits right between the button pcb and the case. No need to leave a hole in the pcb! I just left the middle screw of the button pcb a little loose to prevent to much pressure on the stick so it wont get stuck.
