I'm not exactly a fan of packing the charging board in with the battery. Those TP4056 chips can get pretty warm when charging a battery from flat, and while it's unlikely to cause the Li-PO to catch light, having one spot constantly getting toasted is likely to reduce the batteries overall lifespan. On the original pocket there's just enough room to fit a TP4056 on the other side of the board between the D pad and B button. You need to chop off the middle motherboard mounting post, but it still works fine without that, and this also gives you that screw hole to feed the 6 wires neatly through to keep them away from the button contacts (A small amount of heat shrink tube around all the wires at that location is a good idea). To mount the charger to the motherboard you can just use a couple layers of car body double sided trim tape to lift it up away from where the button rubbers fit. Putting the charging board there is also pretty cool if you have a transparent case because you can see the charge indicators through the front of the case. I'm pretty sure this same approach would work on a GBC.

Is it possible to change the chip that stores save files on these games?
@Vendaar3 ай бұрын
yes, it is the big chip on the left side. It is acually SRAM which is volatile, thats one reason why the battery is needed. but when you swap it with an FRAM chip the save gets retained even when the battery is empty or removed. you still need battery or the real time clock wont work tho.

Very useful video that I followed.One tip for others that I did not realise. I did everything but then found the inverter inverted image to be the polar opposite of what it should be, removing it corrected it. It turned out that I had put the polariser at the back the wrong way around - I thought I had put it in correctly to be dark, but I had tested it without passing it behind the original screen which is the only way to show the true orientation

If I wanted to play my cartridges, I would've just grabbed one of those modded GBAs or a DS. I never owned a gamegear or genesis. So I'm fine with software emulation. Retro handhelds like the RP3 plus(the 4 pro had a shitty QC right now) and AYN odin 2 are far more capable. Streaming, native android gaming, browsing the web, a wider and more powerful selection of systems to emulate. Lots of channels raving on the FPGA like it's the second coming of jesus. Well as an electrical engineer, I just don't see that huge advantage worth raving about. The pocket is just not worth all the trouble of getting it. Don't even get me started on the price.
@esotericsean6 ай бұрын
Some good points. I have a FunnyPlaying FPGBC too but it’s even less capable than Analogue Pocket. I think it’s important that someone preserves the actual CPU in an FPGA so the Game Boy (and other system) environment can be emulated in the future cause eventually all original Game Boy CPUs will fail. But software emulation is perfectly fine too and honestly that’s how I play most of the time as well.

8:00 I know its obvious with this too but I've made the mistake of being a little too rough with this piece after the top cap has been removed and torn the switch contact pads and had to re do the traces with wires. I knew that after that top plate was removed the only thing holding it on was the pads but even knowing that I still managed to rip 2 off when I was cleaning the inside of the switch with a que tip.

Realizing this is a few years old at this point, but still relevant. I don't think that the cause of this is always the D-Pad specifically. It can also be from a custom shell or after market housing. I've used stock D-Pads from OEM Gameboys in after market shells and this problem still exists. So in case someone is running into this issue and is actually using OEM D-Pads, the case itself is probably the issue and not actually the D-Pad.
