Love what you're doing man. Keep going! Awesome you're setting up a shop for this stuff as I was wondering while watching if you take custom orders.

[@Adamstech]

Thanks for watching man! I am almost done with the shop and waiting for some last parts, always wanted to make one but never had the time for orders

[@grahamdwells]

great video :) nice pace with good clear descriptions.

Glad that you liked it! I try to do better every other video!

[@dosalline]

If I have seen your video before I would have ordered one from you! this is so awesome!!!

[@KegRaider]

LOL, just modded my original GPI case today. I need to cut the case to allow USB charging though. Currently I just slip the battery cover open slightly and insert the cable. Not the best, but I need to get some USB-C modules, only had the micro one laying around. Your builds look great.

hey adam miss you!!! hope all is well

Awesome video!

[@stiggievandell]

Awesome video! I am very interested in somehow getting a usb input on one of these. I have one that I havnt used in a couple years due to having another handheld I like more. But I got this crazy idea to build another tiny arcade machine (built 2 others so far) anyway these projects usually end up costing so much in the end, and I was thinking if I just make a wood cabinet for the gpi to slot into i already have most of what I need, but I need to find a way to plug the USB controller pcb that will be in the mini cabinet into the gpi. Any advice? I'd really like to be able to take it out and still use it outside the cabinet so I don't want to solder the controls directly to the gpi.

[@scoutingnathan6497]

Hey, great video. I have a question - i managed to find the usbc port easy on ebay, but the batteries are all too long, where can I find batteries that will actually fit and not be too long? thanks

[@nerb6833]

miss you adam!

[@tomverhulst8542]

Woow nice modding! I like the color setup as well! Which games were you playing at the end of your video?

[@Adamstech]

Thanks for watching the video! Glad that you liked it! Metal Slug 3 for Neo Geo and Adventure Island for NES

[@infographyst]

Thanks for this awesome guide! Just a question, the intro video when you turn on retropie is different that the one I have with Super Retropie Rev D, do you know where to find it? Thanks!

[@Adamstech]

The other image that I used in the video is the Supreme one, but is quite bad, it blocks all the time after 5 minutes of play and when I added the hdmi scripts started to not even turn on, so stay with Rev D in my opinion

[@Adamstech]

Also, the most important part, Thank you for watching and glad that you found it useful!

[@infographyst]

Adam, Do you know if I could use the usb-c charger for a gameboy zero?

[@Adamstech]

Ofc you can! But you will need a booster added so you get 5 v from the USB c charger

[@SCorpG22]

Hi Adam, I have a question please. I tried to add the soft tactile buttons like you have done in your video, except that when I went to fold the buttons back to the board, the legs both sprung off and tore the pads off the pcb. I still have the trace lines left and the vias, so can solder directly to them, but do I need the points on the board which have been damaged? I'm trying to understand how the tactile buttons register a signal when pressed and although you only use the top 2 legs of the tactile switch, is there something additional happening with the trace lines under the tactile switches?

[@NoshAbroad]

Where do you get your project boards? The green and blue work surfaces.

[@Adamstech]

Hi, they are on amazon and double sided, this one is green and blue and I got another one pink and purple amzn.to/2YLlMM5

[@SCorpG22]

Hi Adam, can you tell me how the custom buttons stay in the console? Do they not fall out once it's picked up? I'm just trying to understand what keeps them attached. I know they have grooves to slot into the plastic edges but as the buttons move, don't they become loose? I have all the parts to do this mod, I'd just like to know in advance. Thanks!

[@Adamstech]

The buttons has some pegs on each side, which keep them in place, they can't fall trough as you enlarge the Wells to the same size as the SNES controller

[@SCorpG22]

@@Adamstech Thanks for replying. When I ordered the 3D prints mentioned in your description, the buttons arrived with 2 small plastic pins, are they the pegs you're referring to? Where do they go? Also, what sandpaper did you use to file the buttons? Thanks Adam!

[@Adamstech]

Sorry just saw the message, yes those are the pegs that I am speaking about, in the backside of the button, you will find a circle indent, there you need to glue it

[@SCorpG22]

Hi. I’m trying to get that hdmi script to run in my Recalbox retroflag build but I’m guessing it’s only for Retropi? Any help you have would be great! I can’t find anything about it online.

[@NooN037]

What size is the step bit you use? I really want to change the buttons and dpad but Im a little apprehensive.

[@Adamstech]

I will be completely honest, I lost the damn thing, the step hole that I used was the size 11. Find one from 6 to 12

Awesome mod! I did the usb-c + lipo mod for one of my cases and it works like charm! I used a different lipo (105068) and had do remove more of the case. I have two questions: Can we change the voltage threshold for the low battery indicator (blinking led)? And I scratched my front COVER :( Is there a way to replace the window for the screen without buying a whole new case?

[@Adamstech]

Not really easy to find a lens, but if someone can help you that is Claire from Retroflag, just hit them up with an email, and they might be able to help you. Glad that you made it working and glad that I helped. With the voltage threshold I think it can be changed from within the script but don't quote me on that

[@adelagrigore6344]

Great vid thanks 👍👍

[@dosalline]

wow! nice video! guys the resolution is very bad on mine.... do you have any solution?

[@p3chv0gel22]

I had one issue with the HDMI out Mod: The Pi is mounted so far inside the case, that a Standard mini HDMI can't reach the pins of the connector My solution (since i f'ed up the filing anyways) was to Cut a big enough hole to fit the entire connector and 3D print a removable cover

When will you re-up your stock of mod cases? I went to your site but it’s all sold out.

[@CameronHarrisWood]

What wattage USB C charger can you use, is it USB C PD or only USB C to A?

[@Adamstech]

USB Type-C socket as a standard supports 20 V at 5 A (20 * 5 watts) 100 watts. For ratings of the charger check Tp4056 and check the spec sheet.

[@oeight74]

Very cool tutorial! For some reason I can't get the hdmi detect script to work. I have to "disable hdmi output" in the options menu in order to use the GPi screen again. Any ideas? I made sure to put the script before the "exit 0" line. I'm using a Magnus RC 32 bit Supreme Gpi image.

[@Adamstech]

It does the same for me as well, I showed that I disable it as well, we have to try with a new image

[@oeight74]

I seen some aa sized lithium ion batteries that run at 1.5 volts would those work well with this case?

[@Adamstech]

In a non modified version I don't really know as I never used them with aa batteries, but you can hook them up in series and you have 3V that can be boosted if you are looking into modding it
