hello i need help..i bought a gameboy zero and messed up with the settings..now im stuck with the command..how can i get back to the es menu

[@michaellorentzen1834]

Nice build! where did you get the displY from? Could you provide a link?

[@yoshisdaddy]

Hey Adam. I've never soldered to a tinkerboy before. Any tips or is it a matter that as long as the wire and hole/spot meet with solder, it should work?

[@Adamstech]

You are right, is like any other Pcb nothing special about it, just take your time with each one

[@yoshisdaddy]

@@Adamstech thank you Adam

[@Adamstech]

Hi, that is Super Mario World hope you find it!

[@scott1986]

please can you make a videotutorial for change a battery and bottons to gameboy pi zero?

[@Adamstech]

Do you mean like the one in video? Is pretty easy, if you made it yourself you should know where it is, if somebody else did it for you or you bought it already made just unscrew all the screws and you will be able open it very easy, from that moment you can use my tutorial. Hope that helps!

[@scott1986]

The 3d printer part that goes on the back of the display so you can screw the case closed, what is it called. Do you have a link for one? Thanks

where did you solder the white wire from the screen? Yellow is video, White is...ground??

Hi Yeah the white cable is used as ground Regards

[@stromi5510]

cool video, i want to try it with the new raspberry pi 3 a+. is it a good idea? which parts will i need and how do i connect them

[@Adamstech]

Hi, I am doing a build at the moment with Pi3A+, depends on your button PCB and if you want a dpi adaptor or not, I got another video in which I go more in details, have a look!

[@sguttmann1]

Great video. Very informative. Is the USB port on the right side of the Gameboy functional? If so, how was it wired? Also, where can I find the files for the 3D printed part for the switch? Thanks.

[@Adamstech]

The USB ended up not functional, but is pretty easy, any micro USB OTG hub works, just make sure that you got the power and ground soldered to the power boost and the Data cables soldered to the USB hub, Wermy got a good tutorial on that part, you might want to check it out!

[@Adamstech]

For the 3D files have a look on sudomod.com or get these market.sudomod.com/3d-printed-gbz-parts-full-set/

[@sguttmann1]

Thanks. Found them. I tried using the USB OTG from the Pi Zero to the USB port, but ran into issues of the Pi not recognizing the Tinkerboy controller. I did not try wiring the power and ground to the Power Boost. It may be possible that the Pi Zero can only recognize only one USB input and that is being taken up by the Pro Micro.

[@Adamstech]

Got the same issue xD, found that it matters a lot the hub that you got, This one I saw that it works,shop.pimoroni.com/products/three-port-usb-hub-with-ethernet-and-microb-connector?variant=22477883847&gclid=CjwKCAjwq57cBRBYEiwAdpx0vX8Y8z8Cw83UmfDXW6EXR3hQMGvOhpHpqGPf5QjCNbTBopTbpuaXshoCYtIQAvD_BwE I will do another video on this project a bit more in detail :D

If you'd like to review the original build guides or have any questions you can visit www.sudomod.com. There's a dedicated gameboy zero forum where you can get ideas and ask questions related to your build. Also, you want to choose to support the creator of those 3d printed parts directly instead of someone who downloaded the files and is selling them. You can purchase the original 3d parts from the creator here: market.sudomod.com/3d-printed-gbz-parts-full-set/

[@Adamstech]

Is that addressed to me or to my viewers?

[@border056]

@@Adamstech it would be great for your viewers. Tinker boy and Dex Tech are very active on the forums. It's a great spot for people to learn and ask questions.

[@Adamstech]

I get it, but the way you phrase it is a bit weird

[@border056]

@@Adamstech I can edit it if you'd like. I was trying to share some helpful information and I know I have a tendency of coming off direct.

[@Adamstech]

No, do not worry, I just wanted to know that it comes from a good place, I respect my viewers and I would like to help them as much as I can so that is a good thing

[@ilmondoinsano]

Love it! Which fruit power boost are you using?

[@Adamstech]

Hi, glad that you liked it, I used a 1000C adafruit Powerboost in this build

[@ilmondoinsano]

@@Adamstech I found this one www.tinkerboy.xyz/product/5v-powerboost-module-and-battery-charger/ in the tinker boy website, do you think it could be an cheaper option? Cheers btw, you really inspired me and soon I'll do it on my own :D

[@GuyBluesummers]

Terrific video!

[@Adamstech]

Hope that is in a good way xD

[@GuyBluesummers]

It is! Your voice, pace, and audio was perfect. Camera angles were tight and beautifully laid out. The build was really interesting and I appreciate that you kept in the part where a piece broke. Your intro and outro were short- you kept the video on topic perfectly. Seriously, great work. P.S. Hope your wrist gets better soon!

[@Adamstech]

Thanks for the nice words, I really appreciate it!

[@TheGrtfy]

Is there any chance you could sell one?

[@Adamstech]

I was asked a couple of times, I might do an online shop someday with consoles but now I don't really got time for it

[@mcl223]

If you could put the total price would be nice, btw hope you get well soon!

[@Adamstech]

Thanks, appreciated! It will cost you around 100 to make it

[@endlessbeast]

yes!! Thank you!

[@xThuby]

You're talking quite fast and skimming past a lot of small details. Slow down a little.

[@Adamstech]

Audience retention play's a great part in making of these videos In the future I might upload full lenght tutorials. I assumed that some basic stuff I didn't had to show but apparently I was wrong.

[@xThuby]

Well if you want to skip over basics or not show a lot of simple details you need to know what audience you're targeting. If you want to target a more advanced audience I suggest changing the format of your videos to a more lenient and more "documentary" style. The format you're using now is usually used for videos which have a strong focus on tutorialising.

[@Adamstech]

I get your point of view but I disagree, an advanced audience will know the basic steps of polarity and soldering, and for the "documentary" style I am currently working on a project of that type, thanks for the feedback I appreciate it!

[@Skywardstrike123]

this is just the wermy guide

[@Adamstech]

Well you might be blind mate! Helder's board is not the tinker boy one that I used, I got no USB hub, different positioning of all the parts, different display, different battery; Yeah is the same :D

[@Skywardstrike123]

Adam Builds Dont get me wrong though, good job. I'm making a similar one myself with the tinkerboy 1.1 (also no USB hub) so technically what I'm doing is closer to following your build, not wermy's.

A tip, get one, was a pain to open it again so I can set up the wifi xD
