Heya! Quick question. Installed the OLED screen and the GBPP as a power regulator on my Color (https://github.com/marshallh/gbpp). I understand that the regulator manages charging the lipo batteries and that I need to wire a USBC module to it. Can you point me at what USBC module/batteries to buy, and if possible, where to solder the SYS connection on a Color? Thanks!

I have not seen that regulator being used that often, your best bet would be to reach out to the creator through a GitHub issue in that repo maybe?

I don't think anyone has made a USB-C adapter board for the CGB. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to adapt makho's Pocket Color USB-C adapter: https://github.com/makhowastaken/Pocket-Color-Type-C - just make sure it's on the correct side of the board since you're using it in a CGB and not an MGB.

As for wiring it up to the GBPP - remove F2 and attach CHG5V+ and SYS to the respective pads
