Building a GBAPII++ Graphics Card
I am in the progress of building a couple of GBAPII++ Graphics cards that Georg Braun & Matthias Heinrichs designed.
I have to say this is by far the hardest thing I have soldered so far! The SOJ40 RAM Chips are worse than the GD5434 and it's PQFP-208 package! |

I'm not quite sure I would class it as relaxing
Think I am done for the day. |

Finished the IC's off today and done all of the capacitors.
Still need to do the resistors, diodes, ferrite beads and connectors. Then I can program them. |

Well managed to get a bit more done after going out for a meal.
Diodes and ferrite beads are done. I am about half way through the resistors and then it's just the connectors left. |

One has your name on it as a donation for your work on the TF cards and to give you a kick to get on with the 040/060 versions.

Thats very kind but it would never get used. So so much backlog here and that wouldnt help me get on with the 040 boards.

Well let me know if you change your mind plasmab.
I wanted to donate one to you and one to Kipper2K for both of your work. I have more than 4 by the way. Forgot I took this pic earlier, I don't have a fancy scope with a camera but managed to get a pic through the lens. |
