Hello guys! Finally most of my components have arrive and I can start building my own gameboy zero!


I've don't most of the modification require to the case, and I will start on carving the buttons hole now
The display haven't arrive yet but should be here on Monday, can't wait for that!

Sweet! I see you went for the kitsch-bent cartridge -- nice.

Looking good!

Yeah Cause I'm thinking of adding a cartridge reader on to the board. Without a breakout it will be so hard to accomplish!

The modification of the front case have done:


I've added the brackets to prevent the button from spinning and a place for the silicon pad to sit on



With the PCB on:



I might come back and trim the ring of the hole later, but now it seems good to me!

Where did you get that controllerboard?
Awesome this far

How did you get/add those brackets? Did you take them off of a second shell?

I have the original shell and a second black shell that i will actually use so i'm definitely going to try and cleanly cut off the unused brackets. Did you use hot glue to attach them?

I made them myself and now they are sold out:D
I shared my files and now at the sell/trade forum several people are selling them as well, you can get one there

I got mine from a NES controller, sand them down a bit and stick them with superglue.

Great start Brian!

I see you have all the needed components in your hands, excellent! Looking forward to your build.

PS: Finally, I can address you more easily! It's difficult to memorize you other (numeric) handle.
