Pity's #1 Gameboy Pi3

Hello sudomoders,

First I want to thank all the members of this forum for their contributions because without them it would have been impossible to carry out this project.

I decided to use a raspberry pi3 I had at home, but I assure you that in future projects I will use a Gameboy zero :lol: , it is very difficult for a beginner to put a raspberry Pi 3 inside a Gameboy.

I spent hours reading and seeing images of gameboy constructions, I liked banjokazooie projects, especially their order and cleaning, so mine is quite similar in distribution of components.

In my construction, all components are screwed, can be disassembled if needed, I have used very little Hot glue.

If anyone wants the list of components I put it here, but are "typical".

After a few weeks of hard work, I finally have my gameboy finished.

With a Chinese cutter and patience :D , then pass it over with fine sandpaper.

Thanks for the comments :P

Super slick, I love how clean and organized the guts are. Inspiring me to plan mine out a bit more before the hot glue.
