Hey, I've been away for months, was just clicking thru hackaday and saw a neat project involving a pi zero, and the lil ili9341 and thought hmmm this seems so familiar, I remember there was a topic on the old retropie boards where someone was going along the same line of thought...

but we never got round to doing anything. Then here's this very same idea so neatly put together on a custom board. The bare basic gbz! Finally someone did it!

And then I noticed the avatar, so very familiar and ding! hey don't tell me.... and sure enough, I had to log back on here to check and it's you!

Congrats man! Really nice to see you get it done finally! Putting a piezo for sound is fantastic! DId you manage to get the naked 2.2" screens? Or did you use the one you had unsoldered from red board previously?

Anyways, cheers!

@senkun Hey man!!!! long time no see!!!

I was thinking of you when i had got my tiny board tested and working. The tiny GBz board was the next logical step, save those wires.

I got the screens direct from china. There are lots on aliexpress, but i had a bit of a nightmare with the postage. one lot im still waiting for, 7-8 weeks on....
