All clearance items are final sale and cannot be returned, exchanged, or refunded.

A custom PCB kit designed to fit perfectly inside a GameBoy shell. Runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero or Zero 2 and allows you to play thousands of retro games using Retropie.

• Preparing DMG Shell
• Recommend Batteries (Battery is NOT included with this kit and must be purchased separately).

NOTES:

• PCB color may vary.
• *The battery extension cable needs a battery with 2mm connector. This does not come pre-soldered to allow you to use your own battery set-up if needed.
• Mame Boy + kits requires a Raspberry Pi with a header. If you have a Pi with a pre-installed header, no soldering required. If not, you will be required to solder the header to the Pi.
• Although not required, adding the additional 2 front buttons will open up more games to play on the Zega Mame Boy. Some shell modification is required. You can also purchase a ready drilled shell from the Zega store.
• You can use any DMG shell for install, however, you will need to prepare/modify the shell. Please see documentation.
• You will need an original sized/non-IPS lens/screen for this kit.
• 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.
