revision 2.3 update

well, i mean, it works! the video shows it running a game cartridge, the second image shows it recognizing that there’s no cartridge in the slot (i threw that screen together in krita in under a minute). seems like everything is working great until you look at the mess of tape and jumpers on the back.

for some reason, the screen wasnt receiving power, and to this day, i still dont know why. the only way i was able to get it to work was by soldering a wire from the voltage regulator output to the screen’s LED_A (anode) pin and the general power pin.

in the new, and TRULY final circuit board, i tried to make thicker wires. who knows, maybe it was a manufacturing issue, maybe it was some math i dont understand. whatever it was, i hope it works. if it doesnt, i added bare pads for be to easily connect a jumper wire again.

i also added an fpc slot for the touch controls cable too.

in the meantime, im going to finish up the programming and prototype a basic game for it in raylib. thanks for reading
