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.

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. |
