Planning to build a PiBoy

Former Member over 11 years ago

I plan to build a funny little gaming Gadget into a Gameboy DMG case. I’m still in the planning phase and need some help.

I’ve ordered an 3,2″ TFT LCD Display + Touch Panel from SainSmart and already received an old Gameboy DMG.

The Problem is that the PCB is a little bit wider than the Gameboy Case so i can’t mount it as widescreen without having some PCB outside the Case.

Is there any wiring/electronics on the left hand side of that PCB (as we are looking at it )
If not you may be able to loose that side of the board. Otherwise Rotating it by 90 degrees and translating your X & Y may be appropriate!

You'll have to remove the LCD you've bought from the printed circuit board it's on and then re-mount it either using the case or onto a better sized board, or just leave it free in the case, else acquire a different LCD screen. If you don't want to alter the Gameboy case.
