BEWARE: Slow service and unclear labelling
The actual FPGBC is an interesting idea, and building it is pretty simple even for a novice. The finished console is a cheap and effective way to get an FPGA version of the Gameboy that looks great.
The problems I had were that initially, the main board didn't work properly. There was no sound, and after a few emails, Funnyplaying agreed to send a new board.
This was not a simple process however, as they take a while to reply, and they wanted videos of it not working etc.
It took quite a while to receive the original order, and then at least as long again to receive the replacement board.
Once I had finally started to put it together I discovered that the case I had ordered did not have a cut-out hole for the USB-C charging port.
I again had to message Funnyplaying, who advised that I had bought the wrong case. Now, it's not at all obvious what the right case is, or what the difference is, but they wouldn't do anything about this other than suggest that I cut the hole out myself.
I asked how I'd do this, and they said that people usually use a knife... Which implies that this happens all the time because they don't make it obvious which one you need (presumably so that people will have to go back and buy another case).
All in all, not a good experience.
