First off, don't by that ridiculously overpriced cartridge label. Lots of people on here have them...hell I'll even send you a couple.

Kites SAIO is awesome but currently the pre order is closed.

Days Gorilla glass screen is also no longer available. You csn get glass ones from Deadpanrobot, however.

If you wait a week or so, Helder will be opening up a pre-order for his new AIO board which will boast USB audio, battery monitor etc.

This can be used in conjunction with the PRS tech cart. Feel free to order other parts up in readiness.

Thanks Lphillimore
The list was more of a list of what I was looking for, I had no plans on wasting that much on the label, I would be fine without one.

Some sellers take a rediculess ammount of money for shipping, so Im looking at the tiny print on "shipping cost".

Allso Im trying to stay under 42USD on each order with shipping, due to import taxes are retarded high where I live.
All shipment under 42USD with shipping and tax is no import tax on.
If I go over 43USD the toll is pritty much 15USD for handling then about 30% of total value, ending up at a wopin 70 dollars for one shipment. and one time a shipment was split in two, so I had to pay dubbel import and ended paying trippel the ammount that the total order costed.

So far I orderd the Pi Zero Wifi version and the gameboy shell
One on this forum has the DS Lite cartridge port and a chuk of the 3D Printed brackets, so thats a big save since he could bundle them together.
I was in contact with Helder about the board, think it was about 2 weeks time, wich is perfect timing for me

For my build I've bought this cartridge slot - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32679592016.html
At the same time, I've ordered few from HHL - https://handheldlegend.com/products/gam ... ridge-slot, just to be sure that even one model will work :)
They arrived, both versions are identical, and my cartridges fit them perfectly. This slot is way better than DS-lite version I used previously.

when I get all the parts that I need, I will sure come back to this forum, I do want to add indication lights to my build, like:
Power On light
Wifi Light
Charging light (preferd green light is full/fully charged, red is under 25%, and orange is charging)
its not a must, but would be cool if it would work
