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?

None if you select the Pre-Soldered kit. This kit comes pre-assembled ready to use. If you prefer to do some of the work yourself, check out the DIY kit.

 Do you have an installation guide?

Please check the Portal for all available information.

 Can I use my Game Gear cartridges?

Unfortunately not. The Zega Mame Gear kit replaces the original game gear PCBs

 Can I use AA batteries?

No, this kit uses 1 or 2 Lithium batteries than can be supplied with the kit (within the UK), or you can choose to purchase your own

 I live outside the UK, where can I buy the batteries?

I purchase all my batteries from AliExpress. You can order them here. I usually buy them in packs of 10 to save a few extra pennies. The Zega Mame Gear can use 2 lithium batteries but will happily run on one

 Buttons are registering intermittently?

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