Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my own image?

Technically yes, but you would need to install all the required drivers manually for the LCD, GPIO input and audio output yourself. I do not support 3rd party images. If there are any issues while using your own image, I'm afraid I cannot help. Why not do it the easy way and download my pre-configured image

Is there any soldering involved?

The only soldering required is to solder the battery extension cable to the charging board.

Do you have an installation guide?

Pre-check and installation guides are available in the download area.

Can I use my Game Boy cartridges?

Unfortunately not. The Zega Mame Boy kit replaces the original GameBoy PCBs

Buttons are registering intermittantly?

If you find you are having to press hard to register an input I would recommend cleaning all the buttons contants and membranes with isopropyl alchohol.

Where can I buy the batteries?
