Going to attempt a gba pi zero build

or you could try something like this

Hey guys, I misread the OP question. He is asking if the hardware fit on that housing.
I would like to make another question: Is raspi zero able to run GBA games?
Actually I don't have a raspi zero, but I tried Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow on my raspi1 and the performance isn't good (used mGBA core).
-
@meleu Yes because it runs perfectly on the Raspberry Pi 2 which has almost the exact same specifications. The difference is a quad core (like the one the Raspberry Pi 3 uses, but slower). Maybe you should wait till the Raspberry Pi Zero W comes out (the W stands for wifi, and Bluetooth controller.) Much like the Raspberry Pi 3... the Raspberry Pi Zero W will come with almost everything you need. Well except for the fact you have to solder everything. I was answering @anthonyp555 's question about using a USB controller, and offered an idea as a better solution. Since the GBA case only has very limited space that is.
-
@radiofreero Thanks bro. I'm interested in both answers! :-)
-
@meleu the RPi2 uses a dual core.
-
@radiofreero I think it's a quad core processor. Look here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-2-model-b/

@meleu found that on YouTube amongst many others.

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/960/neopigamer also there's this project @meleu @anthonyp555 which was at the bottom of my last link I posted.
-
@radiofreero Oh boy! I would love to have one of that!!
-
I think I'm going to order a replacement shell for a gba pi and also an original old school gameboy and figure out which one will fit the components better, I like the idea of the original gameboy also because it has more of a retro feel, also does anyone know if its possible to power the pi zero from 4 AA batteries because that's what the original gameboy uses
-
@meleu A Zero is significantly slower than a Pi2. It can run GBA games, but not consistently smoothly. Even SNES games aren't perfect. It works, but it's not great. That's what got me to cut down a Pi3 to fit one in my build.
-
@obsidianspider will a pi 3 fit into the shell of an original gameboy
-
@anthonyp555 It can, but with some caveats. I've seen it done without removing components from the Pi itself, but the ones that I think look the nicest are when the "sticky outy bits" have been removed from the Pi that you won't be using anyway.
-
@obsidianspider "Sticky outy bits", and breaking the board... It doesn't sound like you know what you are talking about. Have you ever even seen a Raspberry Pi 3 before?
-
-
@obsidianspider A. How did that even (seemingly) work?, and B. You do realize this guy is a noob who just bought a Raspberry Pi Zero on a whim. In any case it wouldn't be smart to completely destroy a board. Especially if you've never dremeled (hack & slash) a board. Which in doing so could crack at any moment when you try to purposely cut off/ break a piece of your newly purchased $35.00 board.

This way:
Sounds funny to see reprimands to not tinker here in a tinker community. :-)
