I am making a GBZ, but in a GBA shell. I need help with the buttons. I plan to add the x and y buttons here:
If anyone has any suggestions or wants to make a PCB for this, please respond.
However, I can't figure out how to get the buttons wired up to the Teensy. I believe that a custom PCB would be the best way, but I don't know how to make one. (The best I can do is PCBs in Fritzing) I can't chop up the GBA pcb because it is packed full of components, and it is double-sided. GBA buttons

Re: GBA buttons
I would suggest doing as I did and use the 2 halves of the original pcb I added the x any under the shoulder buttons with tact switches you get used to it after half hour or so. And I would wire your buttons to the pi zero gpio and skip the teensy to save on space.
Re: GBA buttons
I doubt I could desolder all of those surface mount parts. And, even though the ebay description said it was broken, I think I might have gotten a working Game Boy Advance.

That is a good idea. I will do that.Brett82 wrote:And I would wire your buttons to the pi zero gpio and skip the teensy to save on space.
I haven't been active for a while. I periodically check the forum and blog for interesting projects, but don't post very much.
