Congrats to the winners! Fun thing to be a part of, however I will be placing next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Love it. Mind sharing info on the battery + PCB you used?

All these pictures were taken over this past week. Lots of late nights getting this 3d print right (or passable, at least)! I like coding. OpenSCAD has always been really good to me, when it comes to 3d printing. The arcade buttons and rotary encoders were hugenormous. Bigger than I...

Sounds good, thanks. This was kinda the last problem to solve... From here I'll probably do a quick and dirty 3d printed case and hopefully get across the finish line in time.

Wait, I think I have a solution?? Seems like if I connect the LED in between 5v and pin 4 and then the switch between pin 4 and GND it works. Pressing shorts both pin 4 to ground and 5v through the LED to ground. Wired up, the press registers and the LED is nice and bright. Obviously the...

The switch has NC, NO, and C contacts for the switch and + and - for the LED. The LED can be powered on by 3.3V, I did not test the required current. The teensy output pins can apparently do 3.3v 50mA which I don't expect to be an issue. Based on the guide, I wired A switch (for test purposes...

Small update. Most of this project is figured out. I have everything powered via 2 18650s connected to a CMB and a trusty PTH08080 converting to 5v, that all works great. The audio amp I bought was drawing too much current and powering down the pi when I turned it on, so I used one of my own...

I AM GOING TO FINISH THIS. An electrical engineer turned software dev should not have had as much trouble configuring my pi, but I did. But, I'm mostly there now (with the pi, that is). I tried for a long time to get USC (unnamed sdvx clone) to directly boot when powered on, rather than have to...

Thanks for the feedback! The rotary encoders I think are the biggest unknown for me at this point. I had sort of written off the use of actual rotary encoders, but maybe I'll take another look. I'm thinking this unit will be somewhere around DMG sized, so the bigger ones would be out of the...

Man I miss the age of frankencased N64s (and SNESs and NESs and PSONEs, etc). I just can't get into the age of totally perfect 3D printed Wiis xD A frankencased N64 with basic features (about the limit of my skills) would be old news and not worthy of a building contest. And I'm not doing a...

TLDR, I found a pretty nice third party controller with a great joystick, and was able to trim it pretty small. See pictures below. Tiny progress. Been banging my head trying to figure out what to do for a controller. My process in the past for n64s has been to get some 3rd party controller...

Hmm, I'd be interested to see that. It's a feature of his UltraHDMI and was going to be in the UltraVGA too, but

Indeed, I think you are probably as happy as I am to have been active during the time marshallh made those. Soldering to the RCP was way harder and more nerve-racking, but can always get more n64s if I mess that part up!

I am quite pleasantly surprised that my soldering the UltraVGA to the rcp was successful. I had a connection from 3v3 to gnd that I had to debug but after that was taken care of I checked continuity for quite a bit longer before flipping it on. Next I'll arrange the wires in a more pleasing way...

This particular board apparently has a quirk in that the RGB pins are out of order, and what Cheese posted is the typical pinout. If you had this exact board, Stitches picture is the one to follow. But if as you say you have another driver that happens to use the same chip, it doesn't stand to...
