Looking forward to this! I have a donor DSi XL from someone and have been wanting to make use of the screens.

Did you have any issues with your screen kit not working without the extension? I’ve got the same setup (FP DSi kit and the 32/34 adapter) but it will not allow the SP to boot. Looking forward to your progress!

SNES Portable Update: -Improved front panel, inspiration for drop in button sections from @xipher_design -LCD screen surround added, screw holes for a screen holder bracket -Speaker holes enlarged to 29mm -SNES motherboard fits in rear shell, AV out should have been 12mm the OTHER way...

Absolutely (not). RGBDRV might be compatible though, so yes, maybe. I'm fine with composite for SNES SFC, but RGB would have been really cool. Maybe down the line?

Got the 7" LCD in from Amazon ($35 special). It can do 4:3 or 16:9 which was a deciding factor as I couldn't find a larger 4:3 specific LCD for a good price. Ran it on 12V, found the 5V point and now it works on 5V. Need to tweak the viewable area just a tiny bit, measure and model the...

That might be a general shipping frame for sales overseas. I know I'm CONUS and they always get to me in a very reasonable amount of time.

I think we are talking about two different things. Helder ships from the USA and they're not as expensive as the PowerBoost 1000C.

You need a RetroPSU from Helder. It'll power everything without low power warnings.

I'm going to inlay it ~ 1mm around the screen and see what I can come up with for that aesthetic. I'm also debating shrinking the visible area to a 4:3 ratio (if the screen saves aspect ratio) and getting a wild surround going.

Top and bottom shells printed for initial fitment. Need to redo dpad now that I got a SFC controller in the mail to harvest parts. Need to add standoffs for the SNES board to attach to the rear shell. Need to add standoffs for the front to attach to the rear. Thinking of making outer holes...

I like this trim a lot. What are the overall dimensions of it?

INTRODUCTION ========================= I recently was given a SNES console from a coworker because their child didn't want it anymore (no class, no taste) and I knew it was destined for one of my fever dream semi-well executed ideas. Why not make a SNES portable using a FULL SNES board so it's...

Google "fcr-mrg2" for more.

Trying these fpc breakouts. They're 2.54mm so they line up with the cart slot without issue and are much easier to solder than the 48 individual wires. As far as pin order, my smooth brain is assuming that as long as the breakouts are aligned the same, there will be no issues with backwards...

Just installed over BBLoader, works great! Love the additional menus and features. Tried GC and Wii games to success. Need to try emulators and other stuff later. Looking forward to themes!
