Also bought mine off AliExpress. It was one of the fake pokemon shell models, so that feels a little cheap but looks nice. Otherwise the unit functions perfectly, no scratches on the screen and buttons are responsive.

Well there are tons of 3d printed stands, as well as the classic nail polish stand. Lots of options out there.

Thanks! Found the stands here

Neat, good work!

Flickering like this usually occurs when the controller and lights are not using the same ground.

Built two of these awhile ago. It works very well. https://lemmy.world/post/9910910

There are and they work very well(3ms latency). No mods required . https://shop.insidegadgets.com/product/wireless-gameboy-controller/

Time to get soldering then

Thanks!

Inside

Space and simplicity. There is not a lot of room in a GBA so a custom PCB would probably be needed from the start. Also the DMG display PCB is basically trash if the screen dies, which is all you need for this project. The GBA equivalent would need a donor motherboard.

Thanks. I was looking at these carts and thought about hard it would be to make something similar that you could use a old shell with. I recently made a SNES to Bluetooth adapter so the code was pretty similar. I really like projects that recycle parts like this.

It’s possible these don’t enter boot mode by default. Try grounding gpio pin 0.

The SNES uses shift registers on the controller. Polling it requires reading the registers to get the current state.

Can you provide an example? I only experimented with delay and found that 1 millisecond gave the best improvement.

Thanks!

Thanks! I’m actually doing my first playthrough now.

I used their 3.0 ips screen and shell https://funnyplaying.com/products/3-0-inch-ips-agb-laminated-kit?variant=40480705052733

Thanks!
