I got inspired when i first saw wermys gameboy zero earlier ths year, but did not start the project before august i think it was. The main goal of this project was to have fun while making it. I'we taken a whole lot of inspiration from wermys original guides, but some of the building was done by own ideas. I have done a lot of programming before and I work as an industrial electrician, so i have experience with programming, electronics and soldering. I have used Raspberry Pi with some other projects aswell.
Partlist:
- Broken DMG-01 without screenprotector (used the original volume wheel, speaker, pcb and buttons)
Gearbest 3.5" screen
Buttons from a fake SNES controller (also cut out some button wells from this one)
Banggood powersupply

Banggood 4-port USBHUB
Sparkfun microusb breakout card
Banggood audio amplifier
Raspberry Pi Zero
Kitsch-Bent PWM audio filter
16Gb MicroSD card
3D printed screwbracket for the screen

Teensy 3.2
A couple of red/green-LEDs
Misc resistors
MCP3008 (for batterymonitoring)
Prototype PCBs
An old boring Hercules something cartridge
Offical Raspberry Pi WiFi Dongle
Tools
- Dremel 8000
Fluke 179
Weller soldering iron
A million different plyers and screwdrivers
Right now I'm working on a onscreen battery monitor. I'm really close to done. See pictures
As of now the script is a mashup of my code, https://github.com/aboudou/picheckvoltage, popcorn's low battery script, and https://github.com/AndrewFromMelbourne/raspidmx/. I also have a green/red-LED in the top left corner for battery status.
I think i will share my code and diagrams when I'm done
