Thanks! I will try powering the gameboy with 5V today. Also I found this video when looking for the mounting options:

**EDIT: The original stripboard had a mistake!! The 1k resistor should go to the lower left pin of the LTC1799 (pin 4)!!**

(from [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_knEZPtP4E&list=PLluPQLh1xzlK1WuAz_-zpTY4oKe3bG3HG) video)

That looks like a voltage mixer to me! I will go with that!

Edit: I found more info in the zine!
