Game Boy Color Zero (GBCZ) *With Build Guide Notes
Re: Game Boy Color Zero (GBCZ) *With Build Guide Notes
This is sweet. I just picked up the last common ground board Glitch'd had for the GBC. Waiting for it to get to me. I was wondering though with the power assist basic if you could route the charge port to a different area, like where you had the full size USB port. Kinda of like how the gaboze is setup. In fact 3/4 of the top half holes for the pocket and GBC actually match. I thought about cutting apart a blank Gaboze board to wire up the volume wheel and change the charge port to there and just leave the game shell untouched.

Re: Game Boy Color Zero (GBCZ) *With Build Guide Notes
oh sure, there are spots to connect a port for charging if you don't want to use that one built onto the board. i hooked up a barrel jack in the original gbc power spot, in the second one i did. it is pretty tight for space tho. you can certainly put a micro usb where i have that full sized one, but a volume wheel might be a tough fit. i can't recall if there's enough clearance for that.Spyder wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 6:14 pmThis is sweet.

It'll actually fit. The charge port and volume wheel for the pocket and color match. I cut apart a spare gaboze blank board to use as a top half connector. Going to try hooking up wires to the pads or vias. Thanks for the info on the power assist basic. I think I'm going to order one up this week along with the amp and filter too. Going to try to keep the power switch in the original location too.
