Micro:Gamer

Hi,
I am looking at trying to use the microbit to play Arduboy games with students at school. It’s that time of year when I get some time to experiment for next year. I have found the Micro:Gamer and I am trying to reverse engineer a pcb for kids to design and make in school as part of an electronics project. I have had the chance to start playing with the library for the arduboy to allow it to work on the microbit but have not yet started to map out which pins would be linked to the buttons, piezo speaker or even the screen. Looking at it the micro:gamer is using an I2C screen which I have been using with kids this year to build laser tanks. Anyway I will get back to playing when this meeting I am stuck in has finished. Was just wondering if anyone has worked out the connections for the buttons, speaker and screen? I am looking to develop a project for year 11 using the microbit but then move onto the Arduino with the year 13 adding the memory chip feature to their Arduboy. Also now wondering if it would be possible to add the memory chip to the micro:gamer platform?

Anyway thanks in advance for any advice.
