      As nice as the GPA is, it is as you say, cheating ;) there was something I didn't like about it too but can't remember now what...
      There was a gba build on reddit the other day with an insane amount of custom work on it...

        Looks like I won't be the first to put a Pi3 in a GBA…

            @moosepr I didn't even pick up on the fact that it was a compute module. Good catch!

                @moosepr I'd love to have something based on the compute module. Hopefully the people who know how to make those custom PCBs come up with something cool.

                  that looks great, I stripped the usbs and rj45 from a pi3 and it was tricky, i bet the hdmi was a proper trick to get off, unless oyu dont need to use it again.

                  one headsup for if you ever try to use the rj45 again, you have to use the same connector that you removed, if you swap it out for a normal one it wont work, the stock one has some funny inductors inside it and it wont work without them.

                    Ugh, I'm really struggling getting the headphone jack and volume knob to fit in the stock location. I wonder how often I'd actually use headphones with this thing...
