Modified parts list question

Post by ninjabou » Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:53 am

Hi, first post here, and also first try at making a GBZ :) . In order to save some time and money, I've modified wermy's parts list. Can someone more experienced than I am check it over to make sure I'm not missing anything?

Thanks in advance :)

Also, sorry if I got something wrong with where I put this in the forums.

your pretty much on point....

some things to look at are

power strip/board (i think there only a few $)

your volume wheel looks a little pricey

sd card size worth considering depending on how many systems (which systems) and roms.... (personally 16GB minimum)

plus also consider other suppliers adafruit they rarely have something unique and most item are available in some kind of variant from other suppliers (it is a name/company that can be trusted, but you pay extra on some items for that (sometimes just for the branding)... but if money is no option then go adafruit


others may have a different look on this... but good luck with your build

Thanks a bunch for the advice, and I'll definitely look into some alternatives to adafruit products from now on.
