I like this build. Glad to see the buttons going to good use. I'm in the middle of a pi3 build as well. Trying to fit 8lbs of shit in a 5lb bag is taking a lot longer than anticipated. Also glad to see someone trying out the battery cover buttons with no pogos, it has the potential to show some versatility. In your opinion, Marcus, where would be a good spot to have additional solder pads...if any more?

All solderpads on one side, one gnd. Maybe holes instead of solderpads or combined. It have to be ca. 1cm from the upper edge. It is not good to see on my pictures, the soldering tin is very smalll on the upper edge of the pcb. There must be no gap due to soldering tin between housing and board.
The buttons are very small, I still have to find out if it's practically useful for me. The position is good. I don't like the usual position above the battery compartment like all the other GBz.
The Idea is very good. I had already thought of something similar for my Pi3 build (then your system pops out). Only without additional buttons (cuts in the battery cover). I'll paint you a picture in the near future.

Is anyone interested in buying the battery cover with DieselDummy buttons? Works technically flawlessly. Just solder five cables and you are done.

Where did you get the white Gameboy cartridge? I have one of kitsch's white cartridges which I plan to use. I couldn't find any games that used a white base cartridge
