NOTES:

  • With the optional Zega Mame Gear expansion board, you can easily access the SD card and connect a USB device such as a Game Controller
  • PCB color may vary. As of 2/7/24 the PCB is black.
  • Raspberry Pi, shell, buttons, membranes, lens, battery not included.

    WARNINGS:

    • Please ensure you are confident in your soldering ability to attempt this project. Under no circumstances will any refunds/replacements be made if soldering has been attempted.

    When you receive a backlight/LCD kit, you should perform a dry run before installing to assure that nothing has been damaged in transit. A dry run or test fit means the kit is not installed in the shell. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of adhesives, brackets, and any performed soldering. All ribbon cables should have no bends or creases in them. If you are unsure how to perform a dry run, please contact our support team and we will be happy to help. Backlight kits that have been installed are not eligible for replacement or return. If a backlight/LCD is returned and shows any signs of having been installed, it will not be eligible for a refund.
