I've been working on this for a few weeks now. I'm still making my case, but it's coming along well. I'm going to paint the whole thing transparent purple, thus the name Grape64.
I'm using a 3.5 inch ebay screen and an audio amp i picked up from kohls for 10 bucks. The case is a Plano brand case meant for fishing lures. I had to rip out the padding on the inside and scrub the glue off for a few hours, and then cover it in goo gone to get rid of the residue. The D-pad, Start button, and volume controls are all on a single board that I cannibalized from one of these Tank-Assault games, which I also snagged at goodwill.
The Nintendo logo on the screen bezel just by some random coincidence fits in there perfectly. I got that from one of the 10 broken GBA sps I keep lying around. I'm using the actual Z button section from two first party controllers as the R and Z/L buttons.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
