gatchaSP Flexboard
:warning: THIS IS UNTESTED! WE'RE STILL WORKING OUT THE SIZING. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Update Sunday April 14th, 2024: tweaked some positioning, but so far seems promising. I've re-ordered another test
Update Saturday Jun 22nd: Jeez, has it been that long? Had to tweak some positionings again. Re-ordered more samples. There's a version of the GatchaSP as well, so I'll have to try this flex PCB with that shell. Maybe that'll warrant a whole new video?
This is designed to be used with the Game Boy Advance SP mod created by Joseph Tompkins called the Gacha SP.
This flexible circuit board should make wiring the button board to the main board a lot easier.
| In addition to this flexboard you will need to source the following boards/parts: | Part | Link |
