pi zero in gameboy advance
-
sorry for my English in advance :p
so long ago i tried my hands on shoving a pi zero inside a gameboy advanced SP and failed,
decided to just put the pi inside a old gameboy (big gray ones) and was done with the project.now that i got my hands on the new pi zero W i really want to pick this again and try making a retropi inside a gameboy advance.
i was wondering if the community could give me assistance with this project.
first thing first is figuring how the buttons would work i got 2 options- buy some not working unit and cut the pcb so i only have the buttons to conserve space.
i found some pictures of some one who tried doing the same project
- find some one that can circuit design a button pcb that will fit in the gameboy advance
after that a screen is needed.
the first is the adafruit 2.8 tft screen that could work

i found a pcb files for the gameboy advance that some one did a pi with it.
after alot of struggle with no experience i managed to modify his pcb to fit my need.
i take no credits lol i even left his name on the pcbi hope i did the modifications right , i have never used a circuit design program nor i know how to lol
