GPA v2;0 build log and power cords Mods

[sixbras]

Thanks Flavor for your help and support.

I have finished my second GPA, and i just want to share my add-on to cover the raspberry port.

First step, i cut a very boring cartridge in two parts.



Then i glue, using epoxy a small but strong neodyme magnet on the nylon spacer beetween GPA circuit and raspberry.





Another magnet goes in the game case.




And finally the result. A very clean cap for the GPA port.



Easy to put, easy to remove, not easy to loose.

And finally some pict of my second build.

I choose to not using XY buttons; I mainly play with GBA, GB classic and PC engine roms, that do not need XY buttons.
My feeling is that the look is better with only 2 buttons, i understand the difficulty to put them with same look and feel as the AB button in a proper place.

After all modifications have been made on my GBA case, i removee all parts and spread 2 coats of black primer.



Then i made a custom paint with my airbrush, and finally 3 coats of mat varnish.

Et voila :
