Please feel free to download the STL files if you are able to print them yourself. I would recommend resign printing as this will provide a more accurate and precise fit.

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?
Not if purchasing the Pre-soldered version. The kit comes pre-assembled ready to use
Do you have an installation guide?
I have added a pre-check and installation guide to the portal.
Can I use my Game Boy cartridges?
Unfortunately not. The Zega Mame Boy kit replaces the original game gear PCBs
Can I use AA batteries?
No, this kit uses a Lithium battery 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
